What is everyone reading?

[MrsSpoon]

Just nosey and looking for recommendations or titles to avoid.

I am currently reading the new Kate Atkinson, the name of which escapes me. It is fantastic thought nothing could live up to Case Histories but this is just as good.

The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult - love everything she's ever written.

Making Money by Terry Pratchett - again. I waited all year for a new discworld novel, bought it on Saturday & finished it last night. I wish I had the will-power to read it a little slower & made it last

Skribble - I read a few Joanne Harris books after discovering Chocolat. Holy Fools & Five Quarters of the Orange are brilliant.

Tess Gerritsen 'The Mephisto Club'. I have read most of hers and am a big fan. All about forensic pathology and crime, a bit like Patricia Cornwell but better stories.

Another kind of solitude - Bohumil Hrabal

Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell. Lovin' it so far.

Miséréré by Bernard Clavel.

Part of a wonderful set of five novels about Canadian pioneers in the north of Quebec in the 30s. Am really enjoying it.

Best book I've read this year is The Time Traveller's Wife.
Reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything is Illuminated at the moment. Read his other book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which is fantastic, and this is just as good.

my favourite book is the 'reading group', and read it every so often.

is the friday night knitting group similar?

Just finished The Ship of Brides by Jojo Moyes

On the second of July 1946 ? to the strains of a brass band ? HMS Victorious steamed out of Sydney Harbour with an unusual cargo? six hundred war brides on route to Britain to meet their husbands.

It was a journey full of tensions. The women were very young ? two only fifteen ? on a journey round the world to meet men they?d spent little time with. And the ship was filled with sailors ? eleven hundred young men bewitched by the brides.

I think my favourite books are

Girl on a swing by the watership down chap

the power of one by bryce courtney,very gritty book and the sequel tandia,both basically set in SA

some of nevil shutes are quite intriguing
