ISN'T ANYONE READING ANY GROWN-UP BOOKS??????

[midnightexpress]

Blardy Harry blardy Potter.

Yes, I wish they'd queue round the block at midnight for the new Douglas Coupland or Iain Banks!!

I'm currently reading "Kiss of the Spiderwoman" by Muig! What about you?

I am, Harry Potter does'nt interest me at all, cant belive there are soddo's queuing already............in this rain!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have to say, although I like Harry Potter, and have read them all, I've always waited till they're out in paperback. AM reading a book on hormones atm, - v interesting, but a bit confusing.

Phew, glad it's not just me!

Am currently juggling 'Cloud Atlas', 'Then we came to the end' and 'The Atom Station', but have two v small nippers, so not getting very far with any of them tbh. But sooooooo fed up of HP.

midnight - I've got "Black Swan Green" on my pile first as everyone says it "feels" like a more accomplished first novel... not ventured into "Cloud Atlas" yet...

John Le Mesurier's autobiography (v good btw)

got fed up with Harry Potter quite a few books back - too looooooooooong and dull for me

As it happens, I am reading 'Big Babies, or Why Can't We Just Grow Up' by Michael Byfield . I recommend it! I will read the new HP, though probably after the rest of the family.

Message withdrawn

I'm reading "Paula Spencer" by Roddy Doyle at the minute. It's about a recovering alcoholic.

I am reading The Time Travellers Wife

not a Potter fan in the least
(may wish to be one day - just not at this present time)

I am reading A Spot Of Bother by Mark Haddon (Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime author) - I am enjoying it but making slow progress as before bed is my preferred reading time and a 7 week old DS in with us kind of precludes bedtime reading!

Am quite ambivelent about HP although have read the others. Probably will read this one eventually

reading the john thaw thing does that count

Everything counts SEA, so long as it isn't by JKR.

Not getting on very well with Black Swan Green, I must admit. It is more tell than show, iyswim.

Funny you should mention Byfield on this thread, JP, it sounds interesting.

I have just started The Night Watch

I'm reading Sheila O'Flanagan's latest but will read HP at some point

Can say have never read harry potter nor have the kids. I am not against it but the kids are just not interested even though they are big readers and the right age. It always seems to me that adults are the ones reading them. I just finished may contain nuts and am reading the Motherland right now. But to redeem my chick lit frenzy, I am also working throught dickens our mutual friend.
