Now I am going to listen to Red Dragon - Thomas Harris.

Just finished listening to Red Dragon - Thomas Harris and now I am listening to The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris.

Just finished listening to The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris. In the morning I will listen to Hannibal - Thomas Harris.

The Girl who played with fire - Stieg Larsson - very good so far

So far I really like it. I find it a bit slower than HYS and all the Nigerian words (without explanation) are a bit confusing, but the overall story is great.

Recently finished Shop Class as Soulcraft An Inquiry Into the Value of Work, 3 stars, and Chasing Windmills, 4 stars. Now reading The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian.

Last month in the bath I started The Comfort of Strangers - Ian McEwan so I will carry on reading that today as its only 100 pages. Then I will read Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins.

I hope to start Michael Chabon's Wonder Boys tonight.

Pillars of the Earth and the conclusion to that book; World Without End by Ken Follet are my two favorite books of all time. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

I've recently read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell, and Murder on the Eiffel Tower by Claude Izner and am still on a mystery run with Hidden Moon by James Church which I started this morning.

Just finished a book about modern Africa an now it is on to a Spanish swashbuckler - Captain Alatriste and "Purity of Blood"

I am reading Interview With the Vampire

I just started Those Who Save Us for a book group at my local library.

Wolf Hall and you know why.

Think I may be waiting forever for Wolf Hall to turn up in the library :(

I loved Wonder Boys. Next up is Ian McEwan's In Between The Sheets. I've read Atonement (which I loved) and First Love, Last Rites. I'm trying to read through his works chronologically.

I went to library to ask about it, the week after it won the Booker Prize, and they hadn't heard of the book or the author.

I have to laugh because when I saw this was seemingly going to be our November read I went to the library and asked for it. They didn't have it and nobody had seemed to hear of it and then I got a call the next day because it came in as a new purchase and the lovely librarians knew that I had just asked about it so I got first dibs!

Well, I'm hoping to find a copy somewhere to be able to read it this month but meanwhile I'm reading Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick because my daughter managed to get a preview copy and she says it is "well good".

I just finished reading "Push" by Sapphire. Movie is coming out and wanted to read the book before the movie hit the big screen. This book made me cry. It is a very rude awakening to how others live.

I am reading Patient Zero A Joe Ledger Novel which is another club book selection for this month. It is about zombies, but zombies created by terrorists to attack the US. I am loving it.

I'm reading The Dark River by: John Twelve hawks because I loved the first book in the series and want to finish it.

The Child in Time is an early one (from 1987). Very good, but different from many of his others: not as dark, some satire and even a dash of magical realism. (My review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/684...)

Finished reading The Double Bind and gave it 3 stars. Presently, I am very drawn in to Her Fearful Symmetry A Novel.

I'm reading Hush, Hush

I'm reading Paisley From Demagogue to Democrat? which I've borrowed off my bf's mate and American Psycho, bit of a funny combo I know but there we are lol

I loved American Psycho!

Thanks for the mention, Cecily :)

I'm just finishing On Chesil Beach, also reading Vineland and Special Topics in Calamity Physics for no good reason at all, really.

I'm doing the 1001 Books list. I've had a few books' break from it but next I'll start Alan Paton's Cry, The Beloved Country which is on the list.

I'm reading Jonas v. 1

Having such a slow month so far. So I am still reading The Colour of Heaven - James Runice.

I'm currently reading American Psycho, Paisley From Demagogue to Democrat? and Green Power

Are you enjoying American Psycho?

Jo wrote: "Are you enjoying American Psycho?"

So far yea, I'm just under halfway through and it is very good and much easier to read than I thought it was going to be. It started off very subtle only hinting at Bateman's 'other side' but it's coming to the fore more and more now. And the attention to detail as seen through Bateman's eyes just adds to his slightly disturbing character. I can see it getting better and better I have to say.

Have you read it?

I'm glad you are enjoying it. Yeah i read it a couple of months ago. He is a very disturbing character and some scenes are very graphic but i thought it was still a great book. The story was really well done.

Jo wrote: "I'm glad you are enjoying it. Yeah i read it a couple of months ago. He is a very disturbing character and some scenes are very graphic but i thought it was still a great book. The story was really..."

Glad you enjoyed it too, yea he's definitely getting more and more unstable. I think it's so disturbing because he comes across so normal to start with. Can't wait to get stuck into it some more tonight.

Finished The Colour of Heaven - James Runcie. Now I am gonna read Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins.

On the shelf of an old family bookcase I found a 1945 edition of "Cannery Row" by John Steinbeck and though it would make a good next read.

Finished reading Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins and now deciding to read Housewife In Love - Alison Penton Harper

Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald. It's on the 1001 list. Compared to the last book I read from the list (Cry, The Beloved Country), this one's not really grabbing me as much right now.

I just started Under The Dome by Stephen King. I'm reading it because I enjoyed all of King's pre-accident books and I didn't much like his post-accident books. Luckily he must have figured out what his "dear reader" really liked and went back to the old style starting with his last book, Duma Key. I think this one will be as good as Duma Key and am willing to sit and read all 1072 pages of it.

I'm reading A Tree grows in Brooklyn, I read it many years ago when I was a teenager and couldn't remember the author and couldn't find it in the UK so couldn't re read it.Thanks to Goodreads I found it on a list and managed to get it from Amazon UK and I'm so pleased to be re reading it.

I'm reading Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris, because I'd just finished reading a book of his a while ago, and really liked it, so I thought I'd give another one a try (it was also the only book of his checked in at the library.)

I'm also reading Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall, which was mentioned on The Daily Show a while ago. I'm a huge Daily Show/Jon Stewart fan, so I enjoy reading books recommended on there. ^^

I'm currently reading "The Good Samaritan Strikes Again" by Patrick McManus. I'm reading it right now before I go to bed because it has short stories that make me laugh. This is a perfect book to dip in and out of.

I just finished a re-read of this myself a few weeks ago! I remembered nothing of the story other than an overall fondness for it. I really enjoyed experiencing it again - this time more relating to Katie, but I could see exactly what would have drawn me to Francie when I read it initially at the age of 13.

Starting "The Tenderness of Wolves" the story of a murder back in 1867 in the Northwest Territories.

I am reading Broken Angels by Richard Montanari as i loved his other books in the series
