Anyone part of this - reading any of the titles featured on the programme/website?

Savage Garden and Salmon Fishing in Yemen are both very good, I read them pre R&J.

This book will save your life was good - hope you enjoy it Sixofone.
I think Half of a Yellow Sun was on their list as wekk and I thought that was a great book - not at all sentimental. I read the girls and the Island for a book club and didn't like either of them though.

Don't know if anyone is doing this but the book people are selling all 8 R&J books for £9.99 at the moment (mine have just arrived, our book club is starting with This Book Will Save Your Life )

Have you finished it Noddy? I read it vey quickly - thought it began really well but ultimately I was quite disappointed with it I'm afraid. Won't say any more in case anybody is still reading/going to read.

janeite · 11/02/2007 16:43

Thanks Noddy, just been and bought it. That one and the one with the doughnuts on - have forgotten what it's called at the mo.

I am loving it it is a truly brilliant story and has messages about life on so many levels.I sdaid I wouldn't be put off by a r&j sticker because a good book is a good book It wouldn't make me necessarily pick one up either.

Are you enjoying it, Noddyholder?

noddyholder · 10/02/2007 13:12

I am reading the girls atm by pure coincidence although I wouldn't be put off by a r&j sticker

janeite · 10/02/2007 13:08

Well I really enjoyed "The Time Traveller's Wife" and "The American Boy". Think I liked a few others too but can't remember offhand. "The Girls" looks interesting; also "The Interpretation Of Murder".

nikkie · 09/02/2007 20:42

I quite fancy 'The Girls' saw a bit of r&j yesterday when they were reviewing it.

they have ripped off Oprah's book club
she did it first and they think they are trailblazing!!!!

suedonim · 09/02/2007 20:10

My copy of Time Travellers Wife had a R&J sticker on it. When I tried to get it off I discovered the sticker was actually embossed onto the cover!

moonshine · 09/02/2007 17:08

Must admit I was embarassed at first to be reading any R&J books (and don't we all take the stickers off?), and some do look crap, but must say I really enjoyed 'Star of the Sea' and am so far engrossed in 'The American Boy' (yes I am very behind!). Did not like 'Labryinth' at all but have bought The Boyd one because I think he's great anyway and 'The Interpretation of Murder'. I'll take me ages to get round to them though - my pile of books to read is way too big for such a slow reader ....

oh i love stuart maconie i'll have to read that one!

NadineBaggott · 09/02/2007 16:02

I prefer an easy read as long as it grips me.

Fancy Stuart Maconie's Pies and Prejudice - they talked about that on R&J though not in thebook club

I like the sound of some of them. Guess it's the kind of reader I am...

NadineBaggott · 09/02/2007 15:49

I've bought that but loaned it to my mother before I've even read it!

southeastastra · 09/02/2007 15:47

Wasn't the Time travellors Wife one? I really like that!

peachygirl · 09/02/2007 15:46

I really enjoyed The Island which was one of theirs last year and everyone else I have spoken to about it has too.
