[expatinscotland]

I've started w/Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

why?

I'm reading cod's excellent book of facts

I've read TTW (I liked it)
Am on about Saturday. I lurve unputdownable books.

what book of facts?

just finished sharon osbn. not a bad read, want all the surgery she has had now! don't know what/when i will read next.

Posey I'm halfway through Saturday, its great, Ian McEwan's best book so far I think. Won't say more as I don't want to spoil it for you. Let me know what you think when you're reading it...

Cam, will do.

That's interesting Cam- I did quite like Saturday but thought it was nowhere near as good as his other recent books.

There's 2 different points of view for you to be going on with Posey.......

Will let you know!
Have to finish "Sex and other Changes" first

Adore the nickname "oldandfat"!

Most enjoyed The Way I Found Her by Rose Tremain so far this year. Am now working on Feb issue of Vanity Fair & a very thick book about some criminal on the run in India. Can't remember the name. Was ashamed of myself for rather enjoying the Undomestic Godess. Read it quickly w/out breaking the spine(then exchanged it for something else.

Just finished Saturday by Ian Macewan,it was really good,but I did find he rambled a bit in places.

Definately went into way too much detail with the squash game imo.

lol sd

sansouci....will change it to thinandfit if i ever get there lol

ggirl, I quite like those insights into the male mind-set

no, don't change oldandfat. even if you're thinandfit.

btw, the name of the book I'm reading is Shantaram & it's actually v. good so far. Well-written & fascinating.

I've never read Pride & Prejudice. I did Mansfield Park for A-level & slogged through it. so it's never appealed. Maybe I should read it (28 years later!)

just finished Weight by Jeanette Winterson. (retelling of Atlas and Hercules myth).
Just started "Out" by Kirino.
