I finished The Bad Seed, and it was brilliant. Very dark ending. I've now started Archer's Goon by Diana Wynne Jones, which my fella has been trying to make me read for years, and which I have to concede is very good so far. I hate it when that happens.

I'm reading 'My name is red', by Orhan Pamuk - seems good so far.

... and it's great. I love Litt's books, and he's put an excellent spin on the thriller format in this one

Just don't drop it on your foot. Mine was 24p cheaper than yours.jnaylor said:I picked up Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for 1/2 price at Waterstones - what a bargain at £4... however, it's a pretty daunting so I haven't managed to peel of the plastic bag and open the cover yet.

hmm, read that a few months ago. all very worthy, but the romantic stuff seemed cliched and overall it didn't inspire me to read more of his stuff.hamfest said:

Tom Stoppard - The real thing (a play)
It's about some hateful people, but it's clever enough not to be hateful. Quite enjoying it. First thing I've read of his since Rozencrantz and Guidenstein are dead.
