Mine was Airframe, by Michael Crichton. It's not often I can reading something in one sitting. It has to be quite fast paced, and easy to absorb. :D

I vaguely remember reading that, but I can't remember any of the details. :confused:

It's the 1870's, and I'm by the beach watching over a couple of women sent to get some 'sea-air' for their health.

I recently bought The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born (the comic adaptation), and borrowed The Woods (Harlen Coben), Never Far From Nowhere (Andrea Levy), and A Thousand Splendid Suns (Khaled Hosseini).

I tried it, and gave up on it. I just couldn't keep track. :blink: However, I do plan on giving it another try at some point in the near future.

^ Oooh, good choice. Informative and funny, despite the subject matter.

I make notes, not in the book but on a Word doc. I have a pretty lousy memory, so it helps me with vital bits. :whistling:

Last one I read was Small Island by Andrea Levy. It's a re-read, but I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time around. It takes place during WW2, and is set in London. It follows the lives of 4 people - Queenie and Bernard (British husband and wife), and Hortense and Gilbert, a...

I'm in Church Lane (in London), around the 1850s, watching a young prostitute sleeping.

'Watch your step.' - The Crimson Petal and The White by Michel Faber.

Anything by Haruki Murakami, as others have recommended. Also, if you like psychological thrillers, you can try Out and Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino.

I think the idea of reading a book more than once is useful, as long as it's worth the re-read. Often there are many subtle points that aren't picked up on, until you know how the story ends. But the main point of reading for enjoyment, is to read what you like, rather than forcing yourself...

Wow - looks great! It really does capture the gorey grossness of Captain Trips! :lol:

Having just finished Pride and Prejudice, I'm wondering what all the fuss is about Mr. Darcy?? :confused: What's the appeal? Can someone help me out, because I just don't get it!!

Hmmm, I don't ever actually re-read chapters. I'll re-read a whole book, but never just a section of one. If I ever think back to my favourite part of a book, it makes me want to read the whole book, not just that section.

:innocent: :whistling:

^How about Excel, or any basic spreadsheeting program? You could also use LibraryThing (free for the first 200 books) or Goodreads.

I'm with my husband in his dismal little room, after having just stepped off the boat, fresh from Jamaica.

I loved IT. It's my fave King book, after The Stand.

The Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. Load of rot - the little bit I read of it anyway. :whistling:
