    You will so love this book! Read it for the first time 2 years ago in between tea breaks on site and couldn't put it down. It's a book you have to savour to enjoy it!

    just finished blood meridian, by cormac mccarthy. liked it a lot. i'd read no country for old men, and the road in the last year and liked them also. the man can tell a good story, and tell it well. sooo can anyone recommend anything else by the man, or do i just buy everything?

    Just finished The Fifth Horseman by James Paterson. Absolutely god-awful! I'll always try to give authors a chance by reading at least two of their works (when possible) but I'd read Big Bad Wolf and that was equally as crap so that's Paterson on my list of enemies.

    Any good? Bought it a few months back, but haven't got around to reading it yet. I'm going through a Douglas Coupland phase at the moment and have just started Microserfs.

    Just finished JPod which is very good. I think Hey Nostradamus is my favourite Coupland book.

    I really did not like that book, couldn't get into it at all. The main character really annoyed me too. I was quite disapointed as I was expecting it to be good.

    Have yet to read both. I have all his books and am reading them from his first one up. Although i read his latest one, the Gum Thief. But my favourite of his so far is Girlfriend In A Coma. It was the first one i'd read and is just astonishingly good

    So far, yes. Quite strange but in a funny and unexpected way. I have never been able to enjoy the older generation of Russian authors but this is clicking with me nicely.

    Currently re-reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy prior to the film version of Northern Lights (Golden Compass) coming out. Story-telling at its most imaginative and absorbing.

    just after finishing 'The Long Way Down' by Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman. I thought it was poor compared to 'The Long Way Round'
    Have begun 'Walden' by Henry David Thoreau, excellent beginning.

    Started (and finished) The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. Really enjoyed the book, quite simple and easy to read (aimed at both a child and adult audience), yet a powerful story.

    Gonna start Catch-22 probably tonight.
