just wondered...

I've buckled in to pressure, and finally started reading Dan Brown's "DaVinci Code".

Interesting read so far... (I'm about 1/3 the way in)

The Latest in George R. R. Martin's Songs of Ice and Fire Series - A Feast For Crows. And it's just as good as the others so far - even though i'm only a short way in.

James and the giant peach Roald Dahl.

As for myself, I've started rereading Last orders at the liar's bar. Beautiful South's story.

Currently re-reading Portent - James Herbert (last read over 10 years ago).

I'll then be reading Sacrament - Clive Barker (GF's just finished it):thumbsup:

Nearly finished re-reading 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. I think I'll make a start on the Harry Potter series again after that, in preparation for the last one in July.

Annie May's Black Book by Debbie Holt. Quite a nice easy read and Danny Wallace Random acts of kindness, about 10 mins worth of reading but worth it.

Still reading my Christmas books! Michael Palin's Diaries - top bloke even in his earlier years; and Ben Elton's "Chart Throb!" - essential reading for anyone who has ever fallen for the X-Factor myth :)

Knife of Dreams - Robert Jordan

It's the 11th and penultimate book in the Wheel of Time series.

I'm on that too. And I'm glad to hear there is only one more to go.

When I've finished that in a few days time I'm going to read either Pushing Ice by Alaistar Reynolds or The Cold Six Thousand by James Ellroy, then finish reading The God Delusion from where I left it.

I'm glad too, the first few were really good, then they became a bit so-so. Book nine really picked up the pace again but ten was a let down again, real anticlimax ending. There are just too many individual threads and long periods where nothing happens.

New Spring, a prequel, is meant to really tarnish the character of Morianne, I’ve got it, not sure I'm going to read it just yet. I've got David Gemmell's last two books to read which I think I might start first.

I'm halfway through George Orwell's - Nineteen Eighty-Four

I've just finished that. Depressing, but I must admit I loved it.

I'm now reading "The Man Who Ate The 747" by Ben Sherwood.

Re -read Roots by Alex Haley.Interesting to learn what "Jumping the Broomstick" means.Trouble is I can"t get that old song of Brenda Lees out of my head! Maybe that"s where "Living over the Brush "comes from,because to Jump the Broomstick was part of a wedding ceremony for Slaves in USA.It came from an African custom-something to do with witchcraft.

I'm in limbo, waiting for builders, so I've been reading like mad the last couple of weeks. I've just finished a biography of theatre legend Ken Tynan by his widow Kathleen, and a memoir by David Bennun called British as a Second Language. He's (white) Kenyan by South African parents, and moves to Britain thinking of it as the mother country, when it's actually another planet.

Now I've started a tongue-in-cheek overview of modern art, a book about The Stone Roses and re-reading An Introduction to the Enlightenment .
