Replay by Ken Grimwood. Normally I just read for 10 - 15 minutes in bed until I feel tired, but I can't stop reading it...

I'm reading "The Kite Runner" by Hosseini Just because a friend of mine presented it to me for my birthday, but I'm reading very slooooooooowly. I'm not a passionate reader anymore. Damn.

I loved the film (of The Kite Runner).
I'm reading a book called Alosha by Christopher someone. It's pretty crap so far but I'll probably stick with it until the end.

i'm currently reading 'The Wrong Boy'. i forget who the author is, but it's really strange and interesting and very much inspired by the Smiths and Morrissey. i do love it so far

I'm reading Louis Theroux's book. Its fasinating, anyone who has seen his documentaries 'weird weekends' will love his book. He goes back to the US and catches up with those who really fasinated him. The book is funny, sad and very intellectual, i fully reccommend it.

just read the lovely bones as my sister would not stop nagging me... i haven't read a single other book since leaving uni due to being completely burned out, and this was not the one to start with. it was a good book, but rather enjoyed smacking you over the head with moody scenes and unrealistic dialogue. it was moody and tense enough! the ending felt a bit rushed, and as much as it did compliment how things happened towards the end of the book it reeked of "oh shit better tie up all the loose ends now!"

The Russain Concubine...so far so good. Finished. Very good. Also... The Concubine's Secret by Kate Furnivall - good but not as good as above. Cat by Freya North - easy to read chicklit and one of my faves. Now just starting the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson. First up, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Loved that trilogy I just finished reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, second book in The Hunger Games trilogy. Was brilliant, can't wait for the last book now!

Written by Dan Abnett, and that guy knows how to write! i'm not sure about abnett's writing. it's very painting by numbers, especially as he has all the characters/universe/settings already done for him, he's just providing some backstory. In any case I read the first 1 1/2 of the Eisenhorn trilogy and did love it, but could never justify the price tag to buy it myself when my friend took his copy back off me! I'm reading of mice & men again
