    So what did you all read in January?

    I'm too embarrassed to mention my two or three books a month which I can manage. What with work and two active children (four and seven) I couldn't possibly get anywhere near any of you lot. I suppose I could add the books I read to the seven year old before he goes to sleep; currently 'The...

    J.K. Rowling

    It's just class. I'm really enjoying his style; it's one of those six hundred page books which I feel is going to finish too soon. I want to read the whole Dan Brown/ Da Vince Code thread again after I've finished the book. I'm sure I wouldn't have come across Eco's book if it hadn't been for...

    J.K. Rowling

    Can I join up please? Stewart, I'm about 200 pages into Foucault's Pendulum and I now realise why you dislike Dan Brown so much.

    best book to movie adaptation

    Midnight Express by William Hayes was turned into an excellent film which nobody I know seems to remember. Does anyone on here remember this film; the endings are quite different but it doesn't take anything away from the book.

    Anybody got a joke?

    You'll have to be from my side of the pond and maybe my side of Hadrian's Wall for this one. What have Harry Redknapp and the Titanic got in common? They both should have stayed at Southampton:) ;)

    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: Cancer Ward

    Yes I have. He also spent time in the work camps from which I think he used his experiances to write One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich.

    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: The Gulag Archipelago

    PhilW, If you've read Gulag Archipelago you've probably read Cancer Ward. I've posted on this book before but with no feedback; just wondered what others think of it. I found it the most touching, leveling book I've read. So many charachters all thrown together with the same deadly problem.

    The Worst of 2005

    The Worst of 2005
