Rereading Northern lights - Philip Pullman

I love those books. I've re-read them a good few times now and I still cry more than is probably acceptable every time.

All crying is acceptable ;_;

I'm not sure why, but I only enjoyed the first one in the trilogy. Ended up putting down the third and not even bothering finishing it, which isn't like me at all. Might try get back to it again, it just didn't keep me interested first time round.

Needed something light to read at the moment, so reading Cat&Mouse by James Patterson, one of the Alex Cross books. Bit meh, nice and easy reading though!

I loved it when I first read it over 15 years ago. I'm afraid to read it again in case an older me doesn't enjoy it

Do give it another go if you still have it. It might not be your thing, and that's okay, but the trilogy is easily one of my favourites.

I'm currently reading Shade's Children by Garth Nix. I loved his Old Kingdom books, but this is a totally different direction - YA dystopia before it got popular in the past few years. I've had it on my shelf for years (!!!) and I'm only getting around to it now.

Sticking with Stephen King at the minute. Just about to begin 'The Stand'.

I read the new Ross O'Carroll Kelly book over the past few days, Keeping Up with the Kalashnikovs. A bit of light-hearted humour, I enjoyed it!

Back reading a lot of Stephen King at the moment. Have his entire back catalogue downloaded so transfer them to my Kindle as the mood takes me

Enjoying the Bachman books at the moment. Read The Long Walk a few months back and really enjoyed it. Read The Running Man last week, both books have similar enough concepts, set in dystopian America, very Battle Royale-esque.

Currently reading Rage, which SK actually let go out of print as it was associated with some high school shootings in the 80s and 90s. Next on the list is Roadwork.

Read the running man a while back and I really enjoyed it. I would like to get my hands on a copy of rage at some point. Is yours in the Bachman Books?

Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel. It's an interesting look at the Henry the VIII/Anne Bolyen/Thomas Cromwell/Bishop of York story.

I downloaded them

totally legally <_<

. It was one big folder of most of SK's titles and the Bachman ones were amongst them, each as a separate book.

The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier. It's good so far, only started it last night.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, wanted to read it before the David Fincher movie with Ben Affleck (Nothing to do with Gone, Baby, Gone) adaptation comes out next month.
So far its reading like a story tailor made for a safe movie version….good looking young couple, mysterious disappearance, flashbacks… but Fincher says he will put a different spin on it, so hopefully he’ll make it darker than the book is, so far anyway.

Perfedia by James Ellroy.

I re-read Bloods A Rover last month ahead of the release of Perfedia and to get my ear re-tuned to Ellroys writing style. So far this is pretty good but missing that Ellroy spark of genius, it’s more verbose than his previous books and isn’t as instantly addictive as Bloods A Rover.

I'm reading that at the moment too. I've heard it's fantastic but I struggle to keep up with the narrative style sometimes.

Star Trek: Vanguard - book 4 of 9 - Open Secrets by Dayton Ward and Kevin Dimore. David Mack wrote most of the series and several other Star Trek books I really enjoyed reading, Dayton and Kevin so far aren't really doing it for me, but I'll read on regardless.

hate for it? I thought it was brilliant, what did people not like about? I've a fairly sarcastic sense of humour though. I also love how it was banned here back in the day :P

Didn't know it was banned.

Yeah - there are a few posts on this thread by people who really disliked it.

As I thought it has grown on me. Did take a while though.

I've been reading a lot of Phillipa Gregory books recently, so I think I've adapted to the narrative style. I'd recommend her books too.

Finished 'The Virgin Suicides' by Jeffrey Eugenides, yeah, not bad, prefer his other 2 books though.

Started 'Barracuda' by Christos Tsiolkas, enjoyable so far.
