And here was me thinking that the homo-eroticism in the Vampire Chronicles was distracting!

My reccomendations are Espedair Street and Use of Weapons. Two books that absolutely blew me away. Although you're generally onto a winner with Banks, I can't think of a bad book he's written.
Coolio!

I shall schedule them in for once I've finished The 'incest' hour

Just finished reading 'Scarred' by Sophie Andrews.

Its not for the faint hearted. Its an excellent book and I cried at the end

So difficult to understand that what I was reading was real life.

I re-did Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows this weekend as they are the two I have read the least, and to be honest I almost forgot what they were about!

Now reading 'Gridiron' by Philip Kerr. I really need some new books as I keep reading the ones that are on my shelves! I have the urge to read Jurassic Park again but can't find it anywhere :/

Finished The Time Traveler's Wife, finally. It's better than i thought now that i've finished it. It started really well but got kinda stuck in the middle and ended really nicely. Now i am really looking forward to the movie out next month !

Finished The Truce and it is equally as remarkable a book as If This Is A Man, two books that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

It Shouldn't Happen To A Vet by James Herriot is the most recent book I've read, very easy to get through but quite funny and surprisingly touching in places which I didn't expect.

Haha amazing I used to love the James Herriot books! I'd completely forgotten about them!!! Might have to dig one out!

Im currently reading;
'Brutal Art' by Jesse Kellerman
'The Host' by Stephenie Meyer

and have just finished reading 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' by Khaled Hosseini - which was brilliant, same author as 'The Kite Runner' - which is one of the next on my list!!! Am also intrigued by the new Dan Brown book....
