WHSmiths have mislit on buy one get one free... you can be doubly suicidal for half the price!

Erm, serious suggestions....

Oooh Confessions of Max Tivoli.

Can't remember who it was by, but I loved it. Janeite told me to read it originally, so with two MNers it counts as officially MN recommended

Don't read the second one by Victoria Hislop - that wasn't very good.

VinoEsmeralda · 10/09/2009 10:29

Right, the title is very misleading : 'Love Story' by Ray Kluun. This book is one that you wont put down easily! Really good:-)

I'm reading The Interpretation of Murder - tis very good.

I liked the new Tracey Chevalier here. Not what you'd call gripping, but interesting.

white tiger was ok, but not really worthy of Booker win

I recently finished this, although not fiction but still very readable

TheFoosa · 10/09/2009 10:36

mollyroger · 10/09/2009 10:37

It is sort of like a full length version of Benjamin Button - guy born old, living back and getting younger. A love story too.

This one's a cracker - "Child 44" by Tom Rob Smith. It's a thriller, which I don't normally like. Set in USSR in the 50's, good god they were tough.
