OK, well I am really really into reading just now. I have just finished reading the Daivd Pelzer series. I have lots of books at home but I keep giving them all to people because Ive read them all. I need to find a good book to read but most of the books people have suggested I've either read or are not my type.
Can anybody suggest any good books and/or where to get any good books?
Naughty - you are doing 780 posts a day you surely have no time for reading books anymore!
I can recommend 1 to avoid if at all possible: Intermediate Economics: A Modern Approach
I've been ploughing my way through it for the last 9 weeks, still no further on!! :shock:
Flirty, if I had a good book to read I wouldnt be posting as much but I have been looking around and havent seen one that takes my fancy yet.
Hard to point you in the right direction of your literary quest without a few pointers as
to what you are looking for ?
Action ?
Adventure ?
Romance ?
Fiction ?
Comedy ?
or just a door stop !
Take yourself off to the local library tomorrow (or mobile library if there's one)
Plenty books there to keep u occupied, they may even be grateful to have some of the books u have read donated to them
The Curious incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (or summat like that)
A Handmaids Tale - Margaret Atwood - not what I would have picked up, thinking it sounded 'girlie' but it is not.... damn good read.
The DaVinci Code - bet you've read that one already tho.
Ooh i'm a right bookworm :shock:
Hunter S Thompson Biography - can't for the life of me think of the name at the moment
Galapagos or SlaughterHouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Absolutely anything by Glen Duncan
Human Stain Philip Roth
The Liar Stephen Fry (so, so funny)
Billy Pamela Stephenson
Brave New World Aldous Huxley
I can't believe that everyone is so dismissive of reading!! Apart from sex and laughing it is probably the most fulfilling thing that you can (although grinding your opponent into the mud when playing rugby is quite satisfying!!). I can't tell you what books to read as i don't know your thing but can offer one piece of very good advise. Don't read Salman Rushdie ever - he probably deserved to be single out by the muslim world but for crimes against literature rather than any perceived religious sleight, and never ever read geoffrey archer becouse he is an arsehole!!!

I'm a relatively new reader, but i can't stop buying books now, my fav one was P.S I love you by Cecelia Ahern (girlie one yes)
But if anyone has read the FPC1 book, could you give me a hand. My exam is in January and the first chapters are soooo boring
I can read anything apart from stuff like that Star Wars crap, so anything suggested should help a bit, hopefully
I can vouch for 2 books (well in my opinion i thought that they were good).
Lenny Mclean - The Guvnor
Roy Shaw - Pretty Boy
I also liked some of Irvine Welsh's books - The Acid House
The Football Factory - thats not a bad book either.
Ur right there Scandal.
But since when did a bit of crap hurt anyone?
Just my opinion
Well, if you like well written books with a deep psychological (often sexual) undertone - I could go no further than recommending anything by Iain McKewan. Atonement is my favourite. They are making Enduring Love into a film for release by Christmas.
Got lots more - if you're interested.
American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis
LA Confidential - James Ellroy
All Families Are Psychotic - Douglas Coupland
All great books but not the easiest reads in the world (particularly the first 2 !)
And if you want sick sex scenes, American Psycho has loads with tons of room to spare !!!
