What book are you reading just now, why are you reading it and are you enjoying it?

I am reading the life of pi by Yann Martel.

I am reading it because i bought it from the charity shop a while back, it sat around for a bit and i had just finished a huge tome about India. I also am trying to "read better".

I am enjoying it, its very entertaining, although it hasn't really challenged my beliefs in any way.

Am loving Pi's exclamation of "Jesus, Mary, Mohhamed and Vishnu" - I think it pays to cover all bases

Cloud Howe by Lewis Grassic Gibbon.

Reading it because it's the next book in the Scot's Quair trilogy (really enjoyed Sunset Song!).

Yes, I'm really enjoying it, more than I had thought I would. Looking forward to reading Grey Granite, the final in the trilogy

this week have just read mudbound too and got caught up in it.
also read daughter of fortune by isabelle allende(woman from chile seeks fiance during californian goldrush...enjoyable,)rose of sebastopol(young woman goes to the front of the crimea to find fiance...utterly meh) and an utterly disposable thriller)

reading them because i couldn't sleep much this week and they were in the charity 4 for a pound box

jumpingbeans - I think it is a trilogy - so two more to go. The second book is out and is on my 'to read' pile ...

I have just read the prequel/2nd book 'The Angel's Game' to the 'Shadow on the Wind' - really enjoyed it and then the new Liz Noble - which just convinces me that Chick Lit should just be left alone ...

I have just re-read King's 'It' which I enjoyed except that I had managed to totally forget that a main character dies (not read it since I was about 15), so it came as a bit of a shock.

just finished Out stealing Horses. A disappointment. Lovely style of writing but very unsatisfactory plot that didn't answer anything.

And Now On Radio 4 by Simon Elmes, a book about radio 4. Am reading it because someone bought it for me for Christmas and it's about time I read it. And I like Radio 4.

I'm kind of enjoying it, but it's written by somebody who works at R4 rather than an actual writer, so writing quality is pretty low but you get an insider's viewpoint. Though it does get a bit too insidery at points: I'm not sure I'm that bothered about the effect on the documentary department of a memo released by someone called Geoffrey in 1975.

I am reading a compendium of womens obituries from the Telegraph ! Sounds weird but very interesting also you can read a couple before going to sleep.....

Also reading The Trick is to Keep Breathing by Janice Galloway, which is shaping up nicely........

Oh I'm sooo enjoying Spot Of Bother by Mark Haddon

It's Unputdownable

In the Kitchen by Monica Ali

It was a birthday present and the next book down in my bedside pile

I wasn't enjoying it at first but it's slowly improving. It isn't a book I would read twice though

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: or the Murder at Road Hill House

I picked it up at the library. On loan for just a week at a time. Have it for the second week and am struggling to finish it. It's hard going to say the least!

The Blind Assassin. An awful lot of pages for something I didn't find very compelling.

I've just finished On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. Okay, but didn't enjoy it as much as Atonement and Saturday.

Before that I read Sea of Poppies which was great.

Next I am going to read either The White Tiger or What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt... haven't decided yet..

Judith Thurman: Isak Dinesen.

I am not enjoying it. I am reading it because I am going through an Africa phase (what dd calls mum's Africa project) and this was one in a pile of books I picked up - which otherwise were all a great read.

I don't like it because the author has obviously thought as she is writing about an author it is necessary to write in a convoluted style and see deep meaning in the smallest of events, the most trivial comments. It is annoying the heck out of me. It is also reminding me why I don't usually read biographies.

Have nothing else "light" at the moment though

Reading 'third year at malory towers' . Just finished Gods Own Country by Ross Raisin which was a bit weird. Off on hols at the weekend so wanted something quick to fill in the gaps and this was the next one on the box set I bought .

Enjoying it in a nostalgic kind of way !

I have just finished reading The Last to Know by Melissa Hill after a marathon 2.5 hours in the bath because I had to finish it.

It was on offer in Asda for £2 so I bought it as a cheap love story but I was so wrong. It is full of secrets and plot twists that had me in tears and left me really moved. Still thinking about it now, I love it when a book does that.
