I also have Screwed by Ronnie Thompson - made the fatal error of thinking it would be an itelligent book about life as a prison office but I was so wrong

Labyrinth is that the book about a religion in europe that is persecuted out of existence

I have all read though so out to get more!!

A thousand Splendid Suns
the Visible World
Kite Runner

and a book I can remember its name about the civil war in Nigeria when the igbo community wanted Biafra

Oooh turquoise, I ordered Moab is my Washpot from the library in October and I'm still waiting - there is only one copy left in the whole of the Highlands and there were 7 people in front of me waiting for it!!

I've got -

Swallowing Grandma by Kate Long (she of the Bad Mother's Handbook)
Pillow Talk by Freya North (chick lit but not bad)
More Secrets of Happy Children by Steven Biddulph (lent by a friend)

I never have more than 10 minutes uninterrupted to read, so haven't attempted anything more challenging since ds1 was born ... I reckon it'll be at least another couple of years before I can get back to "proper" books !

All part read:

Return of the Native
Moab is my Washpot
Barbara and Jane
My Booky Wook (that one's going to Oxfam)

Unopened:
THe Shipping News
Labyrinth
Three biogs of Edward II + Isabella.

Too busy reading dry course work and being seduced by magazines.

Atonement
Spinoza's Ethics
Bed Rest
Another six I keep meaning to read, but replacing with chicklit.
Have you noticed it's no longer 'PR girl with gay bf fancies boss' but 'stressed mummy recounting hilarious tales of parenthood' - where is the original stuff? Recommend something!
