Christopher Hitchens, Arguably. Each essay a delicious morsel, alas we won't have more.

Finished 'Divergent' last night at 1.04 and loved it, it started a bit slow but by chapter 11 i was hooked. Picked it up at 8pm and couldnt put it down..

Currently making my way through Julian Barnes The Sense of an Ending have to say I'm really enjoying it. It's exceedingly well written.

Cartman78 · 20-12-2011 03:08PM

Just finished "Death on the Ice" by Robert Ryan and would highly recommend it to anyone.

One of those all to rare books where I was actually slowing down the reading pace near the end to prolong the enjoyment

.

Would be interested to hear any recommendations for other books on the Antartic explorers...

I'm after pausing my Beautiful and the Damned and I've started reading A Christmas Carol aswell. Feeling very Christmassy now!

Another Barnes, Sense of an Ending

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre

liking it so far. Gave up on Gone With The Wind. I just couldnt get stuck into it.

Callan57 · 25-12-2011 02:18PM

Stephen King's 11.22.63

Valmont · 26-12-2011 01:54AM

I'm looking begrudgingly across the room at V. by Thomas Pynchon. Considering I read The Crying of Lot 49 in one go, this one is hard to stick with. I'll give it another hundred pages and go from there.

tim_holsters · 26-12-2011 12:34PM

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt. A great read so far, started it this morning, I think if I wasn't going out later I'd finish this today, it's one of those type of books.

It's a cracking good read isn't it? Treated myself to it for Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm half way through The Shack by William Paul Young. Not too sure about it so far. It was an impulse buy... I picked it up mostly because I was attracted to the pretty cover and didn't realise it was religious at the time but I'm keeping an open mind.

AnnyHallsal · 28-12-2011 12:55PM

I'm clearly the last person on Earth to begin reading Girl with the Dragon Tattoo having seen and loved the film yesterday.

cynder · 28-12-2011 03:10PM

Just read 'An Idoit Aboad', was quite enjoyable, love karl pilkingtons books.
