Must buy a new book on Saturday!

[Ismene]

I have been booked a massage by DH and have some money to go shopping in town afterwards and I am only allowed to buy treats for myself.

For me this means holing up in the bookshop and emerging sometime later If you could recommend one book to treat myself with what would it be?

Just to help you out, I don't much like thrillers/crime/chick lit/misery/romance, am otherwise happy to consider anything that makes me think!

My recent reads have included The Help, The Long Road, The Edible Woman and The Adventures of Mary Seacole.

People of the Book is good but I can't remember the author's name.

have you read ROOM yet? highly recommend

am VERY jealous of your day out - have fun!

I have read Room, although that would be a good one. Thank you, I'm really looking forward to it

Just off to look up People of the Book.

i am reading 'never let you go' good but not the cheeriest read. also reading 'the children's book' which is good, v. dense but excellent

How exciting! Have you read The Slap? It's a good read. Enjoy your day.

If you liked The Edible Woman, you could try The Handmaid's Tale or another by Margaret Atwood.

How about some 'more modern classics' perhaps? Lolita / Brideshead Revisited / The Kite Runner / Half Of A Yellow Sun /

Thank you fort he further suggestions, I have now complied a little list to take with me tomorrow
