No, because after that we also had to read "The fifth child" and that was even worse :mad:.
But one of my friends bought a Doris Lessing book for her mother ( after we read them at school ). Pheew, she must really hate her mother :lol:.
 
^:lol: Ohhh yes, she must :lol: That's a nasty thing to do!!
Yeah, I have "The fifth child" at home.. that's a weird book though.. I should've known by the cover of it :rolleyes:
 
well finished bag of bones - stephen king which was pretty good, then picked up wizard and glass by s k and put it back down again, part of the watchtower books he did, i just cannot get into it at all, as i said hes getting weird in his old age, all those gory books he wrote has mangled his brain.
i can recommend a child called it or is it a boy called it by david peltzer, read the book in one day and cried all the way through, such a harrowing true story.
 
Has anyone on here ever read any motivational books by Anthony Robbins? I have a friend who keeps trying to get me to read one but I REAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLY don't want to. I've made him a deal: If he reads my copy of the South Beach Diet, I'll read his Tony Robbins book! :p

Anyone read his stuff and been transformed? Inquiring Minds want to know! :lol:
 
I'm now reading The Eagle and the Wolves by Simon Scarrow. Only another 3 to go after this, and then I'll have read the entire series up til now (I think he is writing more stories in the series).
 
Since I haven't read a single Dan Brown with Robert Langdon in it, I bought the first one, Angels and Demons yesterday. After reading the first page I was hooked....
 
Almost finished reading the 200 pages pile so Im onto next book which is Henning Mankell's Dogs of Riga. :D And at the same time, reading Tess Gerritsen's Vanish, Tim Severin's Viking and Jonathan Kellerman's Rage. Hmm yep, going to take me ages to finish them all. :rolleyes:
 
Done with the thesis, so I can finally read some proper novels.. like *picks novel* Proteus, by Morris West :rolleyes: No idea what it is about though, but it's better than anything dealing with the Easter Rising..
 
*is envious because Jayne has finished her thesis*

Hey kazzy, what's Tim Severin like? I love those kind of books set ages and ages ago - I've picked his Viking books up in Borders a few times, and they look good but haven't actually read one yet.

I found a bunch of random Anne Rice books in my room a few weeks ago, so now I'm reading The Witching Hour.

I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of September, before I start my final term at Uni because I don't want it hanging over me when I go back. I've done half of it now, though the deadline isn't until 17th November.

Thank goodness for novels to take my mind off it :eek: :lol:

Hope you enjoy your two weeks of felicity :)
 
I'm reading Sexual Politics, Sexual Communities: The Making of a Homosexual Minority in the United States, 1940-1970 and The World Turned, both by John D'Emilio. I used the first one as a source for my thesis, but it turned out to be outstanding. The other is a collection of essays, and it's pretty enthralling.
