I thought that Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami was a little experimental, but not overly really if that makes any sense. It depends on how you look at things - books like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer could be seen as experimental simply because of the...

This month I have read Dracula - Bram Stoker 1984 - George Orwell Brave New World - Aldous Huxley and I reread Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - JK Rowling because I had a period of reader's block concerning anything that I was meant to be reading for Uni! :rolleyes:

I can post overseas if you need me to I suppose, it will be more of a challenge to find something cool which does not weigh much to save me precious pennies! ;)

This is a children's book really, but I still think it is wonderful - Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian. It is more concerned with evacuees and not with the front line or anything, but it is a great read if you fancy something a little different.

I have only read a couple of books from 2006 - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer and The Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan. I am waiting for the library to get The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield in for me so I might read that before the year finishes. My...

Can I join in please - sounds like a fab idea, I read last year's thread and it just sounds like such a wonderful thing to do! I hope by reading all the things that you have had to say about all the books that you read that I would be able to think of a suitable present for one of you!

The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams?

I am using a list of all the books I have read this year at the moment - before that I was using a dummy theatre ticket I printed out at work.

Thanks everyone - I will read A Game of Thrones next then!:)

I read whenever I can. I have got a couple of weeks off now I have finished this year of uni - so I am hoping to get loads of reading done on my lazy days sat around my flat. Usually though, I read in the evenings. Sometimes I get an hour or two - but it depends on how much my boyfriend wants...

I think you are after the dewey system - which may explain why you are not having any luck with google

Hi there, As I am hopeless at choosing which book to read next, I thought I would ask you which one of the following you would read if you had the choice. Ash, A Secret History - Mary Gentle or A Game of Thrones - George RR Martin :)

I have read: Daggerspell - Katherine Kerr Howl's Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - JK Rowling Matilda - Roald Dahl and Dragonflight - Anne McCaffrey. What to read next.....I have got it narrowed...

I generally read every day. I always feel a bit lost without a book so I usually take one with me everywhere - even if I know that I probably won't get a chance to read it - you never can tell when you will be stuck waiting somewhere!

I have just started Daggerspell. Well actually I started it once before but I didnt concentrate 100% and got a little bit confused! SO I have had to start again and read a bit slower to take all the names and info in. I am about 65 pages it and I am really enjoying it so far. I am looking...

Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. It is a novel about the grail again, but a million times better that the Da Vinci Code!

If I remember rightly there is only one other Wizard named in Lord of the Rings - Radagast the Brown. Gandalf meets him when he leaves the Shire the summer before Frodo does. I believe that Radagast was under the power of Saruman at the time Gandalf met him, so he wouldn't have helped Gandalf...

Mine is Tolkien. There are lots of other authors who I really enjoy reading, but he is the one I come back to the most.

That was the first place I looked - I have tried two uni libraries and three county library services with no luck! At least I have started my research early and have got plenty of time to try and find them still!

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, I haven't had any luck yet but I will keep going! :)
