View Full Version : So, What Book Are You Reading In February?
Plain Talker 02-02-2007, 23:42 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)
liam1412 03-02-2007, 03:42 Allen Carrs - The Easy Way To Stop Smoking. (My New years resolution didn't quite work out)
The Enemy by Lee Child, one of the 'Jack Reacher' novels.
The Mush 03-02-2007, 08:45 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.
helibish 03-02-2007, 09:02 peter kay, but struggling with it as it makes me laugh so much. i love him he so dry lol

I'm halfway through George Orwell's - Nineteen Eighty-Four
Snow- Orhan Pamuk
Seems to be a good read so far....like it's building up to something :D
Knife of Dreams - Robert Jordan
It's the 11th and penultimate book in the Wheel of Time series.
Re-run of P.G. Wodehouse : "Leave it to Psmith".
littlestarshine 03-02-2007, 14:53 just read peter kay over a good few weeks cos i kept laughing, and having to put it down, now reading bleak house, by charles dickens but its bigger that the bible so will take me a while, but after that i want to read and interpretation of murder by jed rubenfeld that looks really good and i have read good reviews about it!
EdnaKrabappe 03-02-2007, 15:05 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.
BobbyBunny 03-02-2007, 15:11 Hannibal Rising.
Fifth time this year though.
:D
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.
Jeremy Clarkson - 'Born to be Riled'
I'm a simple soul.
Solomon1 03-02-2007, 17:25 still same one from 8 months ago! :gag:
does anyone else feel they have to finish a book once they've started it??!
it's 'enduring cuba' by zoe bran
good book, but bit too involved sometimes........
waxonwaxoff 03-02-2007, 17:31 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.
NatalieSheff 03-02-2007, 19:15 carl rogers "on becoming a person" or something. nice bloke
Ivor&Mel 03-02-2007, 20:32 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 :)
Michael Flatleys Biography. Didn"t realise he was an American.
Funky_Gibbon 03-02-2007, 22:10 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 on that too. And I'm glad to hear there is only one more to go.
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.
discodown 04-02-2007, 08:58 just picked up hannibal rising from where i left off, for some reason i really can't get into it
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.
purdyamos 04-02-2007, 13:22 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 .
