Currently reading book 5 of The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. The series started off good, got slightly boring then picked up again and I'm finally getting into the flow of his writing style now.

I've started Fallen Dragon by Peter F Hamilton.

Much like the Nights Dawn trilogy it jumps straight in with the technobabble and very disparate storylines...

I like it so far

Am reading The Girls at the moment and I think it's going to be sad at the end

I get lots of time to read and when a book gets me, then that's it :-)

The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Very good poignant story.

I quite fancy Wild Swans & Empress Orchid but have been warned that it is very graphic in places! I have the Historian but haven't read it yet.

Thanks Kitten I will try her.

Wild Swans is hefty both physically and emotionally but well worth it - and worth a re-read. Empress Orchid is an easier read IMO but still interesting and there are fabulous descriptions of the outfits!

I wouldn't say Wild Swans was that graphic...I attempted it once and gave up, but due to reading all my books in Malaysia I made it my mission and was glad I read it

As H said v emotional but highly interesting.
