I still want to Iview last night's episode of Last Tango in Halifax. I may be staying up late tonight:) I will certainly be finishing this book. Have to see how it ends.

[Marianne]

Luckily DH has set Last Tango to record while we are away.

I guessed that really. I did see a comment somewhere that there is a tragedy. I had better watch it soon before someone at work tomorrow tells me what happened:)

Yes I think that would be wise...its a bit of a cliff hanger so they might want to tell the lead up.

I'm trying to read the very huge Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. 850 pages and I'm half way through and have hit the gobbledygook part. Save me from minutiae! Now skimming, and I hate that.

I had the same issue with Snow Crash. It put me off him a little bit. There was a bit too much info dumping for me.

[Suzanne]

I'm currently reading The Silver Threadby Kylie Fitzpatrick.
It's not technically and Australian book, but has Aussie themes (about convict transportation) and the author lived in Oz for a while!
I am 200 pages in and so far a good read :)

I was terribly disappointed by Snow Crash as well Phrynne.

Thanks Neal, I know you're smart. But I really just want to be entertained.

Tehehe, Susan and Phrynne, your comments made me giggle. I tried to read a Neal Stephenson book last year, Reamde, but at over 1,000 pages, I found it physically difficult to handle. In the end it went back to the library unfinished. But there were some very interesting sections that I did enjoy reading.

[Dale]

Currently readingThe Fourth Time Is Murder
Been slow at reading. Finding it hard to concentrate.

Finished my trimester at uni, on holidays now :)
Started Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson this morning.

Today we are going to buy about half a ton of mulch, so that will test a few old winter dormant muscles in the near future ö
