What are you reading?

[Quatermass]

I've just finished reading Doctor Who: Human Nature by Paul Cornell, the novel that the recent TV story Human Nature/The Family of Blood was based on. Interesting, and in many ways better than the TV episodes, especially the aliens.

 

[Catch-up]

Just finished a couple by Cecelia Ahern - love her books! And I've just started Numbers Don't Lie by Terry Bisson - great so far!

I am reading.. The Hearts of Horses by Molly Gloss. I think it's her first novel & it's about a lady horse whisperer, ( though they weren't called that then, set in 1917 in the American West during the time of the first WW.
If you love horses & the Wildwest I recommend it.

Before the former I read Jurassic Park by Michael Chrichton, the book before the film, not after & it is far more gruesome & gorey than the film.

 

[Willem]

The Jurassic Park books are great! The second one (The Lost World) is completely different from the movie and much more interesting.

Just finished a collection of Terry Pratchett short stories

 

[Sjoerd3000]

The Da-Da-De-Da-Da Code by Robert Rankin (the only Rankin book they had in the library )

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Did it still have the CD in it Sjoerd. :

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Nope, no CD

 

[turbochicken]

I'm reading "The Perfect King" by Ian Mortimer at the moment, it's a biography of Edward III, this is the 3rd history book by Mortimer I've read and his style of writing makes them difficult to put down

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Nope, no CD

It was in the 1st edition/1st printing H/Back. as a freebie.

 

[Sjoerd3000]

It´s a library book so they probably took it out

 

[deldaisy]

What reading? See "hello I'm new here" thread

Also reading The Zombie Wars as I can put it down and pick it up when I want. Love it. Think I have read or started reading it before. When my daughter was settled and had her books out (she has them out again) we tend to visit each other and graze each others books when we do. (Snack on them so to speak.... steal them if we are still reading them as we get into our cars)

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Still on the Fangs for the Mameries book, as I been listening to audio books in bed, Just been listening to R.Rankins The Antipope, read by himself and others Unabridged version,one of my Favs.

 

[BatrickPatrick]

Thinking about starting LOTR

I've been resisting for no particular reason for a long time, but I'm running out of book ideas sooo...

 

[Dotsie]

Set aside the next six months then. But at least you can say you've done it

 

[Tonyblack]

I'm reading Nation.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Set aside the next six months then. But at least you can say you've done it

I once read LOTR in one go. I started before breakfast and had finished at about midnight (I didn't bother with the appendices though )

 

[Dotsie]

You're not the first man I've met who thinks that speed is impressive.... but I think if you slowed down you'd get more from the experience

And this people is why Dotsie is so wise.
