Have at last finished The Photograph. I liked it - it was one of those books where nothing really happens but it doesn't need to (if you know what I mean).

Have started Deception Point which I borrowed from a work colleague ages ago - unfortunately it starts in the same vein as all Dan Brown's books!

Have three books on the go at the moment (shame it can't be said about men): My Story by Dave Pelzer (Child called It, The Lost Boy, Man Named Dave), IT by Stephen King and Bill Bryson's Mother Tongue.

All three very good.

Am reading Drowning Ruth at the mo - recommended by Oprah, dont ya know ;).
It started well but is dragging a tad now!

By the way, I just loved the Mitfor biography - a fascinating and bizarre family! The book is excellent, in my opinion :D

Bit disappointed really as I loved Oscar & Lucinda (one of my favourite books ever) and even like the Ned Kelly book he won the Booker prize with.



A boss I used to work with gave me 'Jack Maggs' for an Xmas present. That was a really good read. Well written a little disappointing at the end though.

Am part way through 'The Last Juror' by John Grisham - not bad if anyone is thinking of reading it

I love that book. Do you like Catherine Lim too? Or Shifra Horn?

just finished 'in this house of brede' by rumer godden. highly recommend it - a re-read after many years and now very dated but nevertheless fascinating. one of my favourite authors. have been a bit under the weather lately and some comfort reading was on order...this was terrific.

started 'the victorian house' last night - i love domestic history so it's not very taxing as a bedtime read, although it always takes me ages to read non-fiction because i feel i have to take it in 100% - legacy of being a schoolgirl swot i suppose ;)

ETA: CD, i know i have asked you this before, but how an earth do you find the time to read so much? you seem to read huge numbers of books and then remember what you've read too! i struggle to recall anything i read six weeks ago...

Couldn't finish that one - it gets very weird after about half way. Understand they are going to make a film of it - that should be interesting to see how they get around it!

All light stuff, after having finished Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. Finished Terry Prachett's Going Postal, and now reading Morality for Beautiful Girls (No.1 Ladies Detective Agency). All recommended!
