To ask you what you are reading?

[notnearlythereyet]

Just that really.

I fell in love in Zadie Smith's prose, just finished 'On beauty'. In the middle of 'Anna Karenina' now and eyeing up 'A hundred years of solitude' in my handbag.

Interested in books that you would recommend, as this summery weather makes me want to curl up in a hammock and read, read, read..(don't have a hammock just yet so a beanbag has to do for now).

Another 'Goldfinch' reader here - very nearly finished it so I'm going slowly as I don't want it to end.

I have 'The Remains of the Day' lined-up next.

[chopinbabe]

'The Remains of the Day' is wonderful.

Just started, third of way through, 'The Little Stranger' by Sarah Waters. She has a new one coming out soon: looking forward to it.

[TalcumPowder]

Rebecca West's The Fountain Overflows trilogy and Frank O'Connor's collected short stories.

[PoirotsMoustache]

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the first book in the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson. I've not seen the films, and I refused to read the books previously because everybody kept telling me to (I can be stubborn over the most ridiculous things). I now wish I had started reading the books earlier as the first one is brilliant so far. I'm looking forward to reading the others asap.

I know why the caged bird sings. I hadn't heard of Maya Angelou until her death. It's very good.

Couldn't get through the Rosie Project as I found it a little twee.
The examined life is excellent.
The husbands Secret is a good old novel with cracking plot that kept me hooked. Excellent writer. Please read this book!

[Doobydoo]

Just finished The one plus one and the Cormoran Strike one by JK Rowling am now reading 'We are absolutely beside ourselves...quirky thus far.I like it

[Doobydoo]

Oo yes read Goldfinch 2 weeks ago.The secret history is on me list

[Doobydoo]

I LOVE Kate Atkinson.I do!

[Curlyweasel]

I'm reading the Regeneration trilogy again - was one I wanted to keep on my Kindle (as I used to keep a copy on my bookshelf). Just finished last GOT instalment - surprised I got that far given how convoluted he's making the experience have a sneaky feeling I may have read them out of order

[achtunglady]

Filth is one of my favourite books! I love Irvine Welsh.

I'm currently reading Sex Lives of Siamese Twins by Irvine Welsh and The Rum Diary which ive read loads of times but love it!

[lucyintheskywithdinos]

Daughter of fortune by Isabelle Allende. I'm on a big Allende kick at the moment as I found a pile of her books in a charity shop!

[Bolshybookworm]

I love the Regeneration trilogy curlyweasel, it's one of my all time favs.

[Picklepest]

I used to be highbrow in reading. Now I just read anything under £2 a pop on kindle. Had some gems and some duffs. Presently reading lee child /jack reacher series. (Over £2 each but are dhs). Really enjoying them.

[Jelliebabe2]

I've just started the girl in the box series! Compelling stuff so far and was free on Amazon!

[wwbuffydo]

no probs bolshy hope it lives up to my recommendation!!

[littlepeas]

The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness at the moment. Also about 250 pages into The Goldfinch and have been for months.........do intend to finish it at some point, but am one of the minority who doesn't love it.

[Sallystyle]

The Golem and the Djinni.

It is excellent.

[Jayne35]

Am reading Birdman by Mo Hayder but am struggling a bit..

I really enjoy Mo Hayder but that one was a difficult read...

Currently reading Broken Angels by Graham Masterton. Before that I read the whole Gone series by Michael Grant, I think they are young adult books but I loved them.

[NoSnowJustSand]

I've read The Fault in Our Stars (didn't particularly enjoy it and was holding off on watching the film before I'd read the book; it's a rule) and the magnificent We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. I highly recommend the latter!

[Bolshybookworm]

I bought the least graphic one for my mum, obfuskate, but I think she was still offended by it! Bit like the time I made her watch City of God, after forgetting how violent it was.....

[iloveeverton]

The Shadow of the Wind Carlos Ruiz Zafón, half way through.

Recently enjoyed An Exquisite Sense of What Is Beautiful
by J. David Simons

[Mybigfatredwedding]

I am reading the Game of Thrones books, and I think I will be for ever and ever. Amen.
