What Are You Reading 2

[Who's Wee Dug]

ive just finished a book called "unicorn on speeddial" another freebie for the kindle bloody good read, orcs, dwarves, gryphons and dragons in abundance. very good fun read

I just checked that out Chris, it's not free anymore.[/quote



to be honest mate, it is worth a couple of quid to read it

I have not been keeping up with the freebies on Amazon lately Chris due to being away a bit, but I will get a sample and give it a go.

Recently read The Return of the Hippy by David Luddington. A fairly lightweight sort of book, but quite funny in places. worth a go if you find it cheap.

I get you! But I didn't finish the last one, so I don't know if I'll be able to get into this one. It's s library book, so I have to start it soon (& I still haven't started Dodger)

Yea me neither Dotsie, in fact I have not even finished Long Earth yet for some reason I have not got around to it, just halfway through Night Watch on audio book and have downloaded Science of the Discworld III to listen to next.

Just started another Patterson c/o written, about the Olympics 2012.

Mary, who loaned it to me, says they must have given them quite a bit previous to the actual opening of the Olympics, as they got it pretty much spot on.

Just started Game of Thrones. I probably should have read it before watching the series - but watching has inspired me to finally read it.

Read slowly . Book 6 will take a few years to surface

 

[Selkie]

The speed I read... there is no worries on that score

Fair enough

I think that's the same with a lot of people. Certainly was with me. The books really help you understand all the complicated feudal relationships that the TV series by necessity has to gloss over.

 

[Catch-up]

I'm giving up on A Casual Vacancy. I feel like I gave it a fair shot at 100+ pages in. The writing is not bad, but the story moves so slooooooowwwly. I was surprised it was 500 pages long. The story is just not that interesting.

I'm just finishing JINGO which i thought was very funny

 

[Tonyblack]

Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. This has always been one of Sharlene's favourite books and, although I've seen the film, I've never read the book before. It's a long time since I saw the film, but seem to recall thinking there was something lacking in it. So I'm very curious to compare the two.

The something lacking from the film was acting ability
