wots on your to read pile

[pip]

I like both as well. hard choice.

 

[WannabeAngua]

now i have quite a few on my to read pile

pride,predjudice and zombies
a couple of robert rankins
quite a few urban fantasy books

there are about a dozen in all,as always im being nosey and want to find out wots on your piles : : : : : :

Pride, predjudice and zombies is on my "need to finish" list. Can't seem to get past page 36, think it's because I've found out that I much, much prefer the original.

 

[pip]

Good for you. Bloody messing with a classic.

 

[WannabeAngua]

Well, I wouldn't have minded, I think, if it had been written a bit differently. As it is it seems the author has just inserted some extra sentences (to include the zombies), if you take away those what you're left with is the original Jane Austen book. That's just my take on it mind, someone else might find it a good read.

Edit. Just added three books to my to read list. Bought Hells Bells, The collectors (David Baldacci) and the latest George RR Martin book on Play.

 

[pip]

Have the George RR Martin on on my to read pile as well and agree with you on The pride and predjudice thing. Stinks of a cheap fad to be honest.
Got a great set of badges with my copy of Hells Bells. The first editions came with a set of character related badges which look great

 

[Foul Ole Ron's Smell]

Thud!
Moving Pictures
The Wee Free Man
Night Watch
Hobbit
Stephen King's Lisey's Story, Insomnia and Colorado Kid

Also I intend to read Alice in Wonderland and 1984 again.

So quite a lot

I'll have to reorganise my to read pile. I've lost track a little.
tipping in and out of Peter Whimsy short stories and working my way through the Song of ice and fire series
Also have the fourth part of Gormenghast sitting at home but trying to get the courage to read it ( i'm afraid it will suck severely)
I've one or two recently acquired Philip K Dicks to read and i've just gotten Peter Ackroyds History of England pt 1.

Also have the two Ben Aaronovitch London books to start.
Should get me by til Snuff arrives

 

[The Mad Collector]

I'm avoiding Gormenghast 4 for much the same reason. Just added Crusader Castles by TE Lawrence to the pile... Might get to it in a few weeks

 

[chris.ph]

my mrs let me in the works today so there are another three books on my pile now

 

[The Mad Collector]

Nice to see the Mrs is finally letting you have bigger piles Chris

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

But is she witholding the unguent for it.

 

[author3]

By Gormenghast 4 do you mean A Boy in Darkness
Or did some writer write some new one
But if it is a Boy in Darkness you should read it it's pretty good
