I had a break from the JD to read some trashyness over the sunny weekend. Finished two girly books both decent sunshine reads
One is called 'Bed Rest' and the other is called 'A Good Girl comes Undone'

Finished a couple of books this morning, one was The Curious Memories of Thomas Penman by Bruce Robinson and despite some earlier reservations it is quite good although the ending is a bit incongruous given the books largely whimsical start.
The other was The Talk Of The Town by Ardal O'Hanlon (yes, that Ardal O'Hanlon) and it's more accomplished than I'd have expected yet slightly disappointing in that the ending feels somewhat unfinished leaving a lack of final conclusion. Perhaps that was always the aim and the reader is meant to fill in the blanks so to speak but I tend to prefer that the author doesn't leave you in stasis regarding their work - I've submitted myself to the authors imagination up to this point so I don't want to feel abandoned at a fairly crucial moment. Next up might be Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith.

Things my girlfriend and I have argued about by Mil Millington.
I wanted a sunny break from Feist so picked this up from our landlord's bookcase. Very silly and is based on a similar website.

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn. Read them all now.
Wow, I admit, it is not the greatest literature in history, but I am addicted, to the characters as much as the written text. Now i am reading the unpublished Midnight Sun, it is Twilight in Edward's perspective from Stephanie Meyer's website just to get my fix. I've also started to read Twilight again from the start, second reading actually makes a lot more sense, the characters seems a lot more thought out than i realised, their thoughts, actions and sentences have reasons to them where I passed it off as storytelling on the first read through. I also watched Twilight the film again too, it made a lot more sense after reading the books, made the film 10 times better. Last edited by Mondo; 08-06-2009 at 22:36. |

The last of the Harry Potter books still. It's better than book 6, but neither of the last two are comparible to the first 5.
