Tips, links and suggestions: What are you reading today?

The space to talk about the books you are reading, and find out which ones we are reviewing

Good day all. On the last blog there was the usual an array of interesting, informative and funny conversations spanning everything from bad writers who, like X Factor contestants, don't know they aren't great at writing, to GetOverIt99's 'stream of consciousness about To The Lighthouse. Thanks to everyone who joined in.

Each week or so I start a new TLS thread, but I'm wondering, reading back through these conversations, if it's time we changed the TLS format a little bit. We could for example, keep the thread open for a month rather than a week - but might this make conversations too difficult to follow? Would you like more links from the books desk perhaps, or fewer words from us; do you need me to kick it off or would you like to take it in turns to write the opener?

Also, do you find the review list interesting or useful? Please give me your thoughts, you have after all, shaped this space and I wouldn't want to change it if you are happy with it's current format.
