I read "The Missing Postman" in a whole day yesterday. Probably not a good idea, as was feeling depressed enough before starting it. But it was very interesting, but sad.

Reading a Lee Child book - A Wanted Man, I'm getting through it but the series has gone downhill in my opinion, disappointing really!

yeah its no where near as good as some of the others. I'm re-reading through them in chronological order at the moment. Cant wait for the movie though.

Stupid Tom Cruise playing Reacher- thats a bit unbelievable.

Picnic At Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. I've long been obsessed by the movie and got the book for 1c off Amazon.

I'm on a John Connolly binge at the moment, started with The Book of Lost Things and from there to the Charlie Parker series. Really enjoying them, I like the paranormal edge to them and the writings are well researched and not over taxing. I have just finished The Lovers - book 8 and it creeped me out something awful, the best one so far for me.

I can't believe I've never read any of his books before, I used to pick up a Patterson for quick read thriller, but these books make his look like a mentally defiant monkey wrote them.

Also read The Book Thief from a recommendation here, what a beautiful story, thanks guys

Just getting in to Wrath of Angels at the moment. The minute I finish one of his books, I'm at a loss as to what to read next for a while

am really glad this thread exists. I have been promising myself that I would get into reading more often. So have just ordered a Kindle and was looking for some inspiration on books to buy for it. Thanks for all the recommendations. I don't have any myself yet - but am hoping to change that..

Still trying to get through Nama Mia. The Ross O Carroll Kelly books have gradually gone downhill since Sydney Parade. I think i might give up on them if the new one is of the same standard as the last few.

I was thinking the same but just finished The Shelbourne Ultimatum, I think it is the best yet. Vintage Ross with at least one huge laugh per chapter. I smiled all the way through it .

Currently reading "Eichmann in Jerusalem", Hannah Arendt's classic account of the trial of Adolf Eichmann in the 60s & his journey from lowly bureaucrat to a position of overseeing the deportation of millions to the death camps, to the life of a fugitive in Buenos Aires & finally to an Israeli courtroom. Not the easiest read in places - the descriptions of the labyrinthine structure which made up the civil & military administration of the Final Solution can be somewhat overwhelming at times but what comes through most chillingly is how much Eichmann's being was subsumed by that system. Although he was not particularly (by the standards of that time) anti-semitic he came to believe that as he had sworn loyalty to the Führer he should regard his will as law & so dedicate himself whole-heartedly to the ending of the "Jewish Problem", regardless of his personal feelings in the matter.

Morality was put aside not in favour of bloodthirsty hatred but rather a detached desire for bureaucratic efficiency. He said during the trial that if it had been required of him to order the killing of his own father he would have done so without hesitation as he had become incapable of conceiving of any moral principle higher than that of enthusiastic obedience to Hitler's plans. The horrifying understanding that one comes to while reading the book is that the Holocaust was not brought about so much by foaming at the mouth fanatics (although they were certainly an important element) as dedicated & unimaginative jobsworths striving for efficiency as a moral code in itself - people who in another time & place would have been equally as hard working & happy in the administration of fishing quotas or hospital waiting lists but instead operated as unquestioning cogs in the machinery of evil. Overall a disturbing but thoroughly fascinating book.

On a re-reading binge, currently reading Hitchhikers, The Crow Road by Ian Banks, and Life of Pi by Yan Martel concurrently. Mostly cause I'm actually a bit bored with all three and can't decide which one I'm going to finish. Joined the local library the other week, should really go find something new.

Love Hitchhikers, definitely one I find myself re-reading when I'm between other books. If you haven't already, check out the original radio plays which are available on CD, well worth several listens!

I'm only on the second book of A Song of Ice and Fire and I'm really struggling

I think I might just give up and stick to the TV series. Loved the first book but I'm about 2/3 of the way through the second one and I've hit a wall. I've read 4 other books while I've been reading this one because I can't get into it. I find the whole jumping from one character to the other makes me lose interest.
