Book/reading club

[popsycal]

Would anyone like to be part of a reading group?
I need something to encourage me to read more regularly - i absolutely love to read but seem to have put it on the back burner recently....
want to get back to enjoying it again
I anyone is interested, we could agree on a book (easier said than done, I suspect!)
read it then discuss....
hmmmmmmm
anyone>?

The Big Read web site has about 200 books listed. May help with some decision making Popsycal?

THATDARNBOOK

Here you go pops..lol!

right
have never read the thorn birds...mushy and soppy - my mum used to love the series but i suuspect it is a huge book....
also the great gatsby - nver read it but ought to have,,,very short too
the colour purple.....
a suitable boy - on my shelf but WAY TOO HUGE!!!
or anything else that is mindless
sorry 0 am being crap

Oh, can I be in it? Am up for John Irvine (tried to read Garp but gave up). Or anything really. What a good idea, popsycal.

does the link that 3girlsmum did sound too bizarre?
i kind of am interested....

Read Great Gatsby - not as good as I had expected but a long time ago now; maybe I was too young to appreciate it.

Looked at link - I Know This Much is True sounds good (except now have true by Spandau Ballet going round my head).

What we doin'? Itching to start now!

right - i want to read i know this much is true
but i want all of yoi lot to read a prayer for owen meany if you havent read it already!!!!!!!
argh
and mumsnet has gone sooooooooo slooooooooow

LOL...dont we all need to read the same...TBH dont fancy Owen Meany one but thats only because I have seen the film that was based on that book about 10 times as my girls love it!

Pops, if we really get this up and running you can pick a different book when your turn comes round again!

3gm what's the film

The film is Simon Birch and a little weepy it made me to

is it about a child with a disablity???

Yikes dont want to go into it too much in case people want to read the book. Basically its about a boy who is very small for his age and he kills his best friends mum and it goes on from there.

simon birch is NOTHING compared to the book - the ending is wrong...fine til half way through then WRONG!!!!!!!
getting mad...........................

so then

it is so not to do with disabilites....
it is more twists inthe plot...trying to work out what happens....
the finer details of the plot are only circu,stantial......
it is not about these thing
IYKWIM

right!!!
i want to read that other one
i know this much is true
does it sound too
dunno what the word is?
got to get something sorted!!!!

That one looks very "deep", is that the word..lol..but at the same time brilliant. Has excellent reviews.

something lighter>#
the worng boy by willy russell - not read that for years - willing to read it again....
could this be the one?!
