Just started Unravelling Oliver.....it's pretty riveting so far.

Praetorian: The Great Game by S.J.A. Turney, think it's a one off book, Rome Empire fiction, not bad, will look into his other writings, as read a good bit of historical fiction

Just finished reading Stieg Larssons The Girl Who Played With Fire, quite enjoyed it

I have to say, I really enjoyed all three of the series, and the films.

I'm currently reading "Sniper One" by Sgt. Dan Mills.

An account of a British Army sniper team deployed to Iraq, whom, despite several tours between Northern Ireland and Kosovo among others, never fired a shot until their deployment to Iraq. Excellent so far, one of the best I've read in a long time.

I just finished Stephen King, Revival. I really enjoyed it, but be warned, it has one of the most haunting creepy endings I've ever read.

Best thing he's written in years. The finale is amazing.

I read it a few years back and thought it was a great read.

It's not often you hear positive comments about the ending of a Stephen King book! I must add this one to my list.

Ha, just thinking the exact same thing

Started Moby Dick last week. Was worried it might be a bit of a slog, but enjoying it so far.

I receny started Bill Bryson's Down Under and I'm flying through it! I can't read this book in public because it keeps making me laugh out loud

. I love Bryson's writing style. It's like he's just chatting to a friend over a cup of coffee.

For my next read, I'm torn between The Kite Runner and Narrow Road to the Deep North, both of which I have waiting on my Kindle. Or something else entirely.

Since I finished Adichie's short stories, I've been catching up with some articles I'd wanted to read in various magazines.

If you like Bryson, you should try "McCarthys Bar" - Pete McCarthy, very enjoyable and funny

The Kite Runner is a great read.

Skippy Dies, by Paul Murray.

Has anyone else read it? Not long started and not yet got into it. Don't want to give up either...

I read it a couple of years back. I remember enjoying it at the time, though it isn't one of those books that has remained with me strongly...

A Clash of Kings - George RR Martin

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre, brilliant unbiased read for the lay person into alternative medicine, cosmetics, big pharma, education policy and journalism and some scarey stuff about nut jobs and anti-HIV drugs. Highly recommend.

Was halfway through Cell by Stephen King when I left it in the pub. Tried to buy it today in Chapters but wasn't available. I did however find a second hand copy of The Bachman Books for €6.99 which included Rage - taken out of publication by King himself years ago and selling for about £25 on its own on Amazon - happy days.

New Home · 30-04-2015 09:48PM

I looooooooooooooove Chapters, they are the best.

the martian was a pretty good read

I had started The Madship by Robin Hobb ages ago but only got a couple of chapters in before putting it on the back burner and going for other shorter reads. I started back in to it a couple of weeks ago and now I'm utterly engrossed by it all again.

I love the Liveship books. I honestly felt like I lived at sea while I read those. It's a wonderfully crafted world.

The only other series of books that I felt completely detached from the real world while reading was Harry Potter. I was convinced that I'd never recapture that but came across the Robin Hobb ones because of this thread!

I finished the Mayor of Casterbridge by Hardy a week back. I couldn't get into Madding Crowd so returned to the novel I did for the leaving!

LadyAthame · 03-05-2015 01:02AM

Steppenwolf and the Joy Luck club.

BlaasForRafa · 03-05-2015 01:49AM

Just finished Blood on Snow by Jo Nesbo. It's a decent story with good characterisation but it's quite short, more of a novella than a novel and the print is very large, I'm glad I got it in a half-price promotion because I don't think it's worth paying full price for it.

What book are you reading atm??
