What are you reading?

[michelanCello]

I'm reading 'Something Rotten', the fourth of the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde. He really brings the story together in this one.

Too bad he didn't leave it by this one... you'll know what I mean as soon as you've finished it...

This isn't the first time I've read the series.

Batman - The Sunday classics '43 - '46

Not a novel but just been reading Sir Matt Busby auto biography from the ealry 70s such an inspiring book for any fan of football.

i was mooching around amazon and so an author called kate griffin and decided to buy her first book called madness of angels and it is brilliant so far , very different from the norm a bit like mike carey on lsd

About a hundred and fifty pages into The Passage by Justin Cronin. Pretty gripping stuff. It's a vampire novel - sort of. Reminds me of The Stand, but also of Michael Crichton.

Shades of Grey byJasper Fforde finally came into the library, so now I'll be reading that.

 

[AgnesOgg]

Gail Carriger "soulless" and "changeless", easy funny summer-fluff
and Kate Griffin "the midnigth mayor".

 

[chris.ph]

wots the midnight mayor like agnes :

chris, it's good, i like both books took me a while to get used to the mix of I\we, but is very well written and I look forward to the next in the series.

I've just finished reading Q&A (the book Slumdog Millionaire was based on) and thoroughly enjoyed it. The stories behind the questions and the character relationships are vastly different from the film, which I must admit took me by surprise. Never mind, I still think the film is fantastic even though I now realise it's only very loosely based on the book!

it reminds me of neverwhere and roofworld for some reason

 

[AgnesOgg]

I agree with the similarities with Neverwhere

 

[Jane]

Feet of Clay!!
I finally got that one today!

 

[michelanCello]

In the Dwarf Bread Museum, in Whirligig Alley, Mr Hopkinson the curator was somewhat excited. Apart from other considerations, he'd just been murdered.

 

[BatrickPatrick]

I'm going to finish Fight Club and then start on the Historian (Elizabeth Kostova) so my mother will stop nagging me to read it.

 

[Jane]

I'm up to the part where Cheery Littlebottom joins the Watch.
Only her/his name isn't very funny because I've pretty much read all the Watch books with her in them. And that's whatcha get for reading out of order.

 

[Doughnut Jimmy]

Don't worry Jane - it's not very funny whatever order you read them in.

 

[Jane]

And now I'm reading Maskerade.
I thought it was Andre!! D:

I laughed my arse off the first time I read it! It doesn't have the same effect now though.

 

[BatrickPatrick]

And now I'm reading Maskerade.
I thought it was Andre!! D:

I love Maskerade
It's not nearly as funny as the actual Phantom of the Opera novel is though.
