Eek, just realized that Sarz says one of my new books is one to be avoided.
My son loves the Sharpe books and he bought me a copy of the 'Stonehenge' one, but I'd already heard that it was historically inaccurate, so still haven't read it and it's been on the bookshelf for years.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

I've nearly finished 'Song of Solomon' by Toni Morrison which has been a good read. Enjoyable and thought provoking. Feel like I'm going to want to re-read it in a few months after I've digested the story and the characters so I can get some of the deeper stuff if you know what I mean!

'The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters' is a cracker - I got it in a promotional format where they sent it out in installments once a week, very inventive, and I couldn't wait for the next one to arrive.

I'm a book gulper too.
I joined the local library and luckily can have up to 12 books at a time.
Currently re-reading the Isabel Dalhousie books, waiting for last Mark Chadbourn book due July 17th, re-read the 8 preceeding last week, just read the latest John Connolly - I really wanted to make it last, but it ended up read in a couple of hours, and I was going slow.
I don't want to make it sound like I'm really intellectual or even intelligent, i just devour books..
Did the same thing as you Bluemoon, had to get an adult card for the library when I'd run through everything in the childrens library. Things got a bit hairy with my parents when they realised I was reading Molly Parkin books...

Yeah, I'm on about 4th time through the Falco books.
I don't think fiction gets proof-read (unless it is by the author). Grammatical errors are the least of it! I wonder whether any of the publishers want a proof-reader?Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

I've just finished the latest book by Andrea Camilleri, and Nicky Pellegrino's new book, The Italian Wedding.
I've also just finished a trilogy by Carlo Lucarelli, about an Italian policeman during WW2. The stories were more political that I would normally choose, but very thought-provoking. Very up-in-the-air ending though. Before those I read two books by Michele Guittari about an Italian policeman called Ferrara. Oh, and a book by Domenica de Rosa called 'Summer School'.
Seem to have a 'thing' about Italy.....
Last night I started Marcia Willett's The Prodigal Wife and I'll probably finish it tonight. My next book is Chris Stewart's 'Three Ways to Capsize a Boat'

He he he, there's a coincidence! I was just coming to this thread to ask if anyone has read Sepulchre by Kate Mosse! I read Labyrinth and loved it, so I just bought Sepulchre for 99p off ebay
jules, I just put The Prodigal Wife in my Amazon basket - I have every book she ever wrote, I really like them, but the Chadwicks are particular favourites. I love all the ones with Cass and Kate in as well.Last edited by SarzWix; 16-07-2009, 11:00 AM.
