the crimson petal and the white...its huge with small print but loving it so far, its like a "pretty woman" but set in victorian times. and no its not chicklit! read "room" and "the help" and couldn't put them down. love a good book to take ur mind off things at the end of a sh!tty day!

Feast for Crows, George RR Martin.. its a bit of a let down, not got a patch on what the rest of the series were like!

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon.

Absolutely gripping.

The Men that stare at Goats Jon Ronson very very good have not seen the film
City of Thieves David Benihof reads like a movie hope there is one

I've seen the film, not read the book. Film was good though, but will read the book anyway. Kinda wish I hadn't seen the film now, it spoils the book a bit, if ya know what I mean. Your mind kinda fashions the characters from written description and that wouldn't usually tally with the film version.
Film versions of books tend to disappoint, I guess you can only fit in so much, and there are other obvious limitations, it's rare a film runs close to the book version. 'One flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' is an example of one that worked.
I'll look out for this one anyway

The book is informative journalism so I would not say the film was anything like it his first book Them was another blinder.

You know I just literally read the first 4 and after book 1 it all just got samey. Everytime a character starts doing 'well' he either kills them or severely ****s them over and you have to start all over again. Struggled to read 3 and 4 as a result.

Currently reading Consider Plebas by Iain M Banks. Felt like some Sci Fi for a change. It's alright.

Just started it. The Indians are not faring well right now. I'm sure after this it'll be plain sailing for them.

'We Need to Talk About Kevin' by Lionel Shriver. I'm enjoying it, the movie looks like it will be good too.

The Abduction - Mark Gimenez

I've recently read all his other books, he is being hailed as the new Grisham.

Remember the first few Grisham books were really good?

Mark Gimenez's books are very much in that style - best thrillers I've read in a while.

The Perk
The Common Lawyer
Accused

All worth a read.

Just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Based in Mississippi in the early 1960's a inside view of the life of maids.
Excellent excellent book.

Stieg Larsson - The Girl Who Played With Fire.

Wertz

Filth - Irvine Welsh

Hard going with the guttural phonetic conversational scots but funny as hell ultimately rewarding like his other works.

Have Gulliver's Travels going on a kindle app on my phone after promising myself I'd read the full version someday (read abridged one as a child)

Been stuck trying to finish Song of Susannah in the DT series for nearly a year now, have lost a lot of momentum on DT series which is a shame, mostly due to reading the disappointment of others at finishing it...

The Dark Tower are the only books I can't seem to touch by King. I started the first one but couldn't get into it!

I read Pet Semetary when I was about in my early teens and never turned back!

To go against what I said above, you should try and finish Gunslinger and then start the second book...it's a definite step up and the rest of the series are page turners...

One of my favourite ST works.
So many good books and stories...probably my favourite of all is The Long Walk under his pseudonym. That said, most of his more recent stuff simply hasn't done it for me...thought Cell was especially bad.

I'm reading War & Peace at the moment. Its very good, but very daunting I've read 200 pages and I'm less than a quarter of the way through.

Read the hardcopy a few months ago, found it tough going, lots of rambling tedious stuff thrown in, he keeps saying he wont bother the reader with lots of mundane details and then proceeds to bother the reader with other mundane details. That said, for a book written so long ago, it must have been a great way to spend an evening reading it.
