Thank you Jud! My first reader! x

[Adele]

Just finished Divergent which I admit I had reservations about but ended up loving it. Now reading Butcher's Crossing which I hope is as good as Stoner

[Joo]

I've just started reading Vagabond Sky by Mark David Welsh (can't find him on here)
It's a humorous fantasy book where an East Anglian bloke finds himself in another time and place where there are dwarves and quests. It's a great read so far.

[Michael]

I've just finished The Inevitable and it was a fantastic read:

I'm now onto Balance

[Karen]

Just finished Dead Water and delighted Ann Cleeves is back on form. Now started the intriguing and, so far, well plotted Unwanted - more Swedish crime!

[Lexie]

I'm reading Dead Water at present - nearly finished. Just finished Kath Middleton's Ravenfold, very imaginative historical novella. Time for the full length one, Kath!

[Kath]

I'm not sure I've got a full length story in me, Lexie. Mind you, it was only a few months back that I didn't think I had more than a drabble in there!

Get your caving equipment out and start digging!

[Kath]

Just a minute! Where's YOUR book? ;)

Oh...erm... *looks up and starts whistling*... oh look, squirrel!

[Lexie]

Maybe collaborate??

Finished Dead Water, excellent as ever. Now starting Catherine Bailey's The Secret Rooms, factual history about Belvoir Castle.

[Elle]

im reading the most annoying book in history at the minute as a dipper : Philosophy for Everyday Life: A Practical Guide

its annoying because it poses these ridiculously amazing questions which im pretty much stuck thinking about for a day then i feel the need to go ask people what they think and they get annoyed at me.

annoying.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

42% into Duma Key, really getting into it, just want a couple of spare hours now to get my teeth into it. I do still feel like I've read it before though.

[Elle]

Yay Desley! Going well.

[Karen]

Just finished Unwanted, more Swedish crime! but it's a terrific read - and a first novel! Great stuff. Off to make a start on Stoner

[Michael]

I've just finished Balance and it was a fun read:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

I've just started Maureen and The Big One.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I thought I would pick up n read Alice in Wonderland: The Vampire Slayer - J.J. Maddox & Lewis Carroll.

[David]

Just finished: which was okay, but probably too long and somewhat over-monked.

Just started: , which has its own thread as we know.

[Adele]

Just finishedThe End of Winter and am now starting Legacy of Blood

[Grace]

Just finished and started - alerted to latter by our very own Simon.

[Jud]

I finished Fairy Tales from the Arabian Nights and started Oliver Twist, I've only ever seen the musical and never read it before.

[Karen]

Lovely books, Jud. I see Jan Pienkowski has now done an illustrated version of the 1001 Nights. Got to get that for my collection!
Edit - just checked on Amazon and I've already bought it, albeit with a different cover, in 2009!

[Jud]

Time to read it!

[Jim]

Just finished THE PIRATES OF ERSATZ

BY MURRAY LEINSTER. It's free from http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/24035

It's classic 1950s SF, Appeared in three consecutive issues of Astounding Science Fiction, and is about 60K works. I loved it, such a change from the modern stuff :-)

If you get it, get the version with the images :-)

[Natasha]

Finished God Hates You Hate Him Back by C.J. Werleman a few days ago. Five star amazing.

Had a four star interlude with Curious Wine by Katherine V. Forrest, sweet lesbian romance set in a log cabin in 1978.

Just started Why Are You Atheists So Angry? 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless by Greta Christina.

I've had to mark that as To Read, Elle. ... Could you give us an example of a ridiculously amazing question? ...

[Michael]

I've just finished reading My Granny Writes Erotica 2 and it was a hilarious read:

http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/201...

Just started , which is the follow up to which I thought was great too.

[Lorraine]

I've been really lazy and not updated in here this year.Started with , , , , , , and i'm half way through

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Blimey, that's a lot Lorraine!!

I've just found loads of pulp fiction compilations for under £1, and I have money on a gift card - so tempting.

[Lorraine]

It does look like a lot,but i'm behind if compared to this time last year as i was ill at the beginning of jan and didn't pick a book up until the 5th.That is tempting desley,i'm going to try and be good this year and only buy what i know i will read this year.

[Lexie]

Just finished Cigarette by Jason Purdy. Fast-paced gangster-style, very violent with lots of dark humour.

The first question is;

Do the gods love what is good because it is good, or is it the fact that they love it that makes something good?

That's called the Euthyphro dilemma which had me completely going back and forth for about 3 days with my answer

[Michelle]

I just finished which I thought was really interesting

Thinking about starting .

I've only heard about both of them recently.

Yep - there is a lot of discussion in between but there is some really wonderful things to make you think!

[David]

Just started to read 'Burmese days' from this .

Back when I was a literary snob Orwell was my top author and 1984 my all-time top book. I can't remember what I thought of 'Burmese Days' back then, but then I've got a memory like a... y'know, one of those things.

[Lorraine]

Finished Silent Victim and am 3/4 throughKill Me If You Can.

I've spent 25 quid on books so far this year,but they are part of series that i am reading and if i keep telling myself that then maybe it won't be too bad.

[Jud]

I've spent £7.38

[Elle]

99p on the Neil Gaiman book on the daily deal.

[Lorraine]

Ssh you two,i tell my hubby that everyone spends that much.

[Jud]

So long as you read them it's worth it in my opinion. I've curbed my spending because I was buying books and then not getting round to reading them.

[Elle]

Ye exactly - only reason I spent so little is cause I havent been reading my books!!

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

£1.37, but I did use a gift voucher.

[Joo]

I was umming an ahhing about reading Wool, so I decided that I'd send Hugh Howey my interrogation questions and if he didn't reply I wouldn't read it and if he did, then I would.
So I'm going to read it :)

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have just finished the wonderful Bishop Street - Rene D. Schultz
