*What book are you reading ?

[Rollem]

I'd be up for that - I'd like to read books that I actually want to read.

can i join too, please. seeing as i have read "stuart..." and "time travellers wife" and want to read "we need to talk about kevin", i think i'd qualify

 

[SubZeroCat]

Yay!

I can get all of you in Christopher Brookmyre

 

[Philbc03]

Now reading J.K. Rowling's 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'.



*Slinks away in shame*

 

[tastebud]

"Motherless Brooklyn"

Amazingly Brainaddict liked that one too which is rare for your bookgroup choices. He said the protagonist reminded him of me.

SZC I got the ttw from the library the other day, will read it when I get through my current reads... I'd be up for joining this new bookgroup.

Good girl

Your tagline is a Jeff Buckley song - is that intentional?

 

[Orang Utan]

Great! A new group with more lovely ladies and less grumpy blokes!

Right then, Albert/Effra/Hob/whatever, that day that begins with T, five pints please mate, that one in the shirt, get your books out, sorted!

Haha we're cooler than the bookgroup

 

[tastebud]

Look forward to it... what we reading?

And yes it was intentional btw... remember my PM..? Related to that too.. *winks*

No

Related to what?

*winks and winces back*

I have about 30 PMs from you so I'll have to trawl through them...yes. I didn't know you liked Jeff Buckley! Yay, you get 3 gold stars.

I dunno, what are we reading?

 

[tastebud]

No

The one about the nightmares. Actually can we pick a book and all read it, that'd be cool. A good book mind.

Oh. Ok, cos that's quite unrelated to Jeff Buckley....he's dreamy



Ok, good book, good book.....Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides?

 

[Orang Utan]

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides?

Read it

 

[tastebud]

Read it

ditto.

 

[SubZeroCat]

Read it

Yeah me too, but I like it + have forgotten a lot of it.

That was just a random suggestion, I dunno really.

The only ones at the moment that I want to read are Christopher Brookmyre ones (that I haven't read).

 

[Orang Utan]

I only want to read books I haven't read before (which is why I'm destined to be in a book group of one). Not too interested in rereading many books cos there so many out there to read. Sorry, I'm being awkward again.

me too - definitely!

i too will be a bit fussy about book picking, i have to admit.

okay, well next on my pile is 'the bookseller of kabul' by asne seierstad - have you read that?

 

[Orang Utan]

No - not sure I want to though - looks a bit mumlit

 

[SubZeroCat]

Maybe we should start our own thread instead of hijacking this one?

[gaijingirl]

I'm nearly at the end of Shantaram, as recommended by a couple of people on here - it's a fucking brilliant book - and I don't use the "f" word lightly!! (At least not in print)

 

[Orang Utan]

*sits back and watches with interest*

Ok then - the Da Vinci Code?

 

[trashpony]

Ok then - the Da Vinci Code?

Read it.

 

[Orang Utan]

Read it.

Me too - but I wouldn't mind having a bitch sesh about it

Oh go on then.

I spoke to a friend on the phone yesterday who said 'don't go and see the film - it's shit'. I said that I'd no intention of going to see it. She then said that she was disappointed as she'd really enjoyed the book.

I changed the subject.

 

[foamy]

i had a very funny arguement with a colleague about The DaVinci code.

I said it was crap, he said it was great. Through the course of the argument he said it wasn't Dan Browns job as a writer to come up wit new plot lines or to write them well.

I think i won that argument

how the hell did he work that one out?

just ploughing through a book called The Dream Life - fascinating stuff about the way american culture and movies reflected its politics and vice versa (not ideal holiday reading but nevermind )

then going to read Ripley Bogle by Robert McLiam Wilson, which i read years ago, loved, found last week, loaned to Pie Face (who loved it) and now can't wait to get into again
