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...

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...

Which one?

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.

Which order of monks do you belong to? And do you share your collection with the other brothers?:confused:

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.

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:) ;)

A few weeks ago at a church fete I got A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth for fifty pence. It's in near perfect condition as well.:)

Sorry, didn't understand most of that:confused:

"warm apple pie":eek:

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.

Now I like that word.................oooops sorry wrong thread :D

Well I was going to do a Gary Glitter one but I thought it might be too near the mark.:eek:

A Short History of Nearly Everything is the title. I know this book is very popular but I just got bored with it.

Perfect Public Speaking for Dummies by George Dubya.:)
