Andy, have you read Angels & Demons yet? It's the book before Da Vinci Code and I have to admit, it's a much better story
This week I have mostly been reading.... The Forums....... must get a life :giggle:

About halfway through Nelson Mandela's 'Long Walk To Freedom.'
Upsetting, inspiring, informative, and beautifully written - his personality and sense of humour comes through with every sentence, and although he's writing about despicable times and his own incredible fight, he does it in such a quiet, humble way that you find yourself automatically coming round to his inclusive, forgiving view of the situation in SA. Amazing man, amazing book.
Tony Parsons, The Family Way.. Really good.

never let me go by Ishagaro, about my 10th book this year compensations of an hours train journey to work

I'm reading Fruit Of The Lemon by Andrea Levy, the second novel of hers I have read after reading Small Island. Both are brilliant novels, acutely observed, funny and moving.

I'll be very pleased not to look at a book again for a while. Just finished writing my dissertation, lots of psychoanalytical clap trap from Freud, foucault and scruton. I can feel my brain draining out of my ears.
before that - wee free men - pratchett.
McCarthy's Bar by Pete McCarthy
Bit like Bill Bryson but an Irish version!
I have been reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (by Sogyal Rinpoche) since the start of the year. I try to read every day as it really relaxes me, but the book is particularly heavy going and work etc tends to get in the way.
the new bottoming book.... dossie easton and janet W hardy
the new topping book....as above. these are great books for ideas... :twisted: :twisted:
needle point Jenny roberts... read it before and I loved it so am reading it again..
ummmm Jodi Picoult....can't remember that is my bedside reading. (love her books)
am also re-reading "we need to talk about Kevin" lionel Shriver. marvellous marvellous book ...so well written and , as a parent, I particularly like the questions it throws up about the nature v nuture argument.
in edit.... I also read a lot of books at the same time....as well as the above I have a couple of work related books that I am reading... emotional intelligence, ummm and a couple more that I can't remember.
The Time Travelers wife - completely engrossing!
I agree, Jodi Picoult tells a good story but I couldn't get into Salem Falls
