What are you reading at the moment?

[AB Editor]

I'm giving James Frey's "The Last Testament of the Holy Bible" a go. It's alright, but it suffers from voices which feel really inauthentic, which is particularly problematic as the story is told in a pseudo-confessional style through several different voices!

There is just enough there to keep me reading for a little while longer though.

What is everyone else reading at the moment?

Should add.....I have just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books and I hated them to start with but loved them by the end.....shame the author died!

I have a friend obsessed with that particular series Divegirl. I did read one of them, once, and it was quite good for what it is. Some political intrigue and backstabbing should keep you interested.

[chelle7272]

divegirl, i just finished those too, quite enjoyed them but prior to them I was reading Jo Nesbo (blurb calls him the 'next Steig Larsson') and thought his books were much better!

I am just starting to read PC Rathbands book Tango 190, my friends used to work with him before Roule Moat blinded him

[divegirl]

Personally I skipped all the bits with the political bits....and the mathematical theories! He does tend to go a little over the top with his descriptive text shall we say! That said I would have read a fourth one!
Now the thingy of thrones is all name and places....and with my memory capacity this could be a challenge!

[AngelMell]

Just finished "Started Early, Took My Dog" - Kate Atkinson and have now gone back to Peyton Place, which I have been reading in between other books for a couple of years now. Also have Jeremy Poldark and A prayer for Owen Meaney, but can't decide which to start first.

Jo Rees - Forbidden Pleasures

Light read, started yesterday and almost finished

[bensmum]

A Prayer for Owen Meaney is one of my all-time favourites AngelMell, well worth a read
I've just finished Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky - a novel about occupied France in WW2. It's for my book club and it's not usually what I'd choose but it's excellent and so sad that she didn't live through the war to finish the Suite

[Booldawg]

Picked up a Chris Ryan novel from the library at the weeked. Couldnt tell you which one.

[archeraddict]

Shadowmancer by GP Taylor. It's a kid's book really but good never the less.

[missnemesis]

Totally agree with chelle7272 about Jo Nesbo. IMO his books are far better than Larsson's.

[heathfield]

At this moment I'm reading the answers to Question1038240, page 2, on AB. Fascinating!!

[pastafreak]

City of Sin-London and its Vices-Catharine Arnold
Female Chauvinist Pigs-The Rise of Female Raunch Culture-Ariel Levy

[archeraddict]

[jno]

[boxtops]

The Library of Gold - "Robert Ludlum meets Dan Brown". Love it!

[archeraddict]

Aaaaahhhhh! Got it! D'oh!

I did say I was reading a kid's book - not up to anything that needs a more mature brain!

[mickrog]

Just finished Nicci French book,,,Catch Me When I Fall

Just starting Jeffrey Archer book ...Only Time Will Tell

[paddywak]

Nothing too heavy, The Night Watch by Terry Pratchett, he's always good for a smile of two
