I have just finished Homer and Langley and although I liked it, it is not a book that I would recommend to others. This is not a criticism of this particular book but rather an indication of how rarely I find books that I would unreservedly recommend. As previously mentioned, it is very well...

I have read more Chuck Palahniuk books than any other author with the exception of Stephen King. The strange thing is that I was totally amazed by Fight Club but have been disappointed by pretty much everything else since and yet I still read his stuff (for example, just put "Lullaby" on hold at...

I wondered the same thing but assumed that I everyone else knew and I was just being a newbie...

Is there a prize if the book you suggest gets selected? ;)

Let The Right One In - John Ajvide Lindqvist :stars4: And I found it soooooo much better than the movie! No surprises there though.

Clear winner for me was: The Book Thief - Markus Zusak Honorable mention: The Brooklyn Follies - Paul Auster (mainly because I enjoyed his writing style)

First I'll have to finish: Let The Right One In - John Ajvide Lindqvist (have finished it now, don't tell ;) ) Then I'll get onto: The Intimate Adventures Of A London Call Girl - Belle de Jour Homer And Langley - E.L.Doctorow Brooklyn - Colm Toibin Want To Play - P.J.Tracy...

No but upon seeing your recommendation jumped straight onto my library's website. Sadly this title is not available. I would ask for other recommendations of books by this author but that would give away the mystery to others...

I have cracked the case - the number is 8, right?

Chiangmaifalcon... any hints? Maybe an actor in the film...

In London working as a high-class call girl. The Intimate Adventures Of A London Call Girl - Belle De Jour

I have read both of Carey's Booker Prize winners (Oscar and Lucinda and The True History Of The Kelly Gang) and own Jack Maggs but have yet to read it. I look forward to hearing your final assessment of the book. BTW, I enjoyed the other two books but don't regard them highly enough that I...

What are the song titles Aqua? Looks like with a name like "Bad Habit" it wouldn't be long before someone else grabbed it... BAD HABIT - The Official Website!

I agree with Stewart. The book started with promise but proceeded to become almost farcical. I would give it 3 stars but have never recommended it to anyone.

If the very good idea refers to Black History Month, I agree. However, I'm not sure how many appropriate titles will be available at my library. :sad: Fingers crossed that I can access whatever is picked!

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold In my TBR pile and always places highly in the Angus and Robertson Top 100 (Australian book shop list voted on by readers). From Amazon: Alice Sebold's haunting and heartbreaking debut novel, The Lovely Bones, unfolds from heaven, where "life is a...

Hey Dima, this one has already been Book Of The Month (October 2005).

Having read Coetzee's novel, I was very interested in this. I thought it wasn't too bad and was definitely not as depressing as the novel.

Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
