[katierocket]

Really want a good read but need inspiring. Hate horror, don't want anything really intellectual. here are some of my favourite books in no particular order to give idea of what I like.

Secret History
Wild Swans
Memoirs of a Geisha
Anything by Donna Leon
Pursuit of Happiness
Perfume
Wuthering Heights
Driving over lemons
Crow Road
The Beach
I don't know how she does it
anything by Marian Keyes

help please, otherwise I will be forced to try and finish sh*te cecelia ahern book 'where rainbows end' which is making me want to bite someone.

ks, get hold of A Pedant in the Kitchen

sorry to nag but you'll love it

Was he a painter Tamum ??

am ploughing through MAo at the moment

thought the time travelelrs wife was shitey

a pendant light fitting?
arf!

ks, have you read Emma Brown? I recommended it earlier- not as good, but quite Wilkie Collins-like, so maybea good one for you?

I love E.J. Thribb, no idea he was still going

(Sorry katierocket, will shut up now)

No, a poet, MrsGR. That narrows it down a bit...

Was he a painter Tamum ??

oops patience

Julian Barnes

it's a must-read for all pedants

You could type it in capitals, next time

So a poet and then a painter

ROFL

This girl is a cliche

I could just idly post her Biog with the relevant names in bold

That way you would be absolved

If you search for the word poet here that should tell you all you need to know

What do you want with a coyp anyway, ks? Actually, I have bought a few second hand books on there and they've been pretty well-described. I think the feedback system works fairly well.

I had done, that is why I was offering to absolve your conscience

How kind

Nicely worded

Note it doesn't say she is living husband number 4

She now (2005) lives in Amsterdam with her present husband (she divorced from Robbie Duff Scott). He was no 3.

OH thank you for this thread I am PMSL

KS

Lisa has been through men like the rest of us go through wine..........

Read the link, I just thought it was the funniest thing.

Ah, but he was married to my boss, wasn't he, so she could indeed have been a painter and decorator (or a plumber, I get mixed up sometimes)

I will shut up so
