Went to a charity shop the other day, favourite place to pick up books! They were all 2 for €1. Got a few Stephen King books that I hadn't read. Currently reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith. I'm struggling with it a bit, but I'm over halfway through so I'll persevere. It's won loads of awards so I feel like I SHOULD be enjoying it more than I am

White Teeth is really funny. It's an easy enough read. Good book

Yeah it is very funny, but I'm just not really enthralled by the story. Looking forward to finishing it!

Picked up "girl with the dragon tattoo", "the god delusion" and "half of a yellow sun" in a charity shop in dun drum for 1.50 the other day. Great bargain!

I've just started Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

Frankie Boyle - My Sh1t Life So Far. Only on Chapter 6.

Wouldn't be a massive fan of his tbh, think he overdoes it with the whole 'I'm not PC business', but so far this has been absolutely hilarious. It's like one big collection of 'Scenes We'd Like to See' in narrative form.

Finished Michael McIntyre's Life and Laughing (not bad, 3.5/5) and Booker prize winning 'The White Tiger' - which was a surprise. Why but why?! It's mediocre at best. It's content could be shocking to non-Indians, but it's just... sigh!

Thinking I'll start The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, it's about Henrietta Lacks, whose cells still live on in various labs around the world decades after she passed away. Heard about it in NPR about a year ago - only getting around to reading it now.

Clearly I'm not a literary expect like yourself but I really enjoyed The White Tiger. I thought it was a good story, simple and an easy read but I liked it.
His other book wasn't as good.

Gur Cakes and Coal Blocks by Eamonn McTomáis. An excellent read. Simple stuff about a young lad growing in Dublin during the war years.

Nah, it's probably me, it won Booker prize after all. The thing is, I am Indian. So it doesn't shock me really - I have read far too many books with similar story lines, situations etc. I didn't like his narration style, his was of addressing it to Chinese Premier etc. It's particularly bad in the beginning and he has become more consistent by the end of the book - probably could do with a rewrite. Again, it's just me and I can't write a paragraph without screwing up badly, so who am I to judge!

I'll be starting that in the New Year and I can't wait either. I've been looking around for an epic series ever since The Wheel of Time has come to a near end and The Malazen is the one I've chosen.

However I must finish off Polgara The Sorceress first...:)

Just finished Moby Dick so now I'm reading "In the Heart of the Sea" by Nathanial Philbrick, which tells the story of the tragedy of the whale ship Essex, the event that inspired Moby Dick

I don't really enjoy reading. And if I start a book I rarely finish it. I prefer just watching TV or reading articles on the internet!

Bob Dylan's autobiography.

I love Bob Dylan, but tbh i found it sooo boring... i had to stop a couple of chapters in...

How are you finding it?

Maybe i just wasn't in the zone for it at the time...

I'm reading the Twilight Saga... I know, I know...

I decided to read it out of curiosity... I think i'm actually beginning to despise it...

I hate the way the roles of male & female are portrayed...

I'm thinking that it's dealing with desire, and from that perspective it's holding my interest, however i'm finding it very hard to see beyond the male/female dynamics :mad:
