Emm, I have to agree about this book, I could not see what all the fuss was about. As for being hilarious, I think I smiled at something in it once, but as for laughing, nope. |

| Whilst last in Florida, I read "half a yellow sun" sorry can't remember the author but a great read about the war between Biafra and Nigeria, told from several different people who you become very attached to.
The other book , my favourite was "The Kite Runner" this has to be the best book I have ever read, a story about to boys in Afghanistan and how their freindship develops. a must read!

| Having a lazy afternoon reading some old topics, and found this one interesting, as I love reading. I was wondering what books are you reading at the moment, or is there any you would or would not recommend. I'm currently reading a Nora Roberts trilogy Gallaghers of Ardmore, I also like the shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella, James Patterson, Martina Cole (though some of her books I enjoyed more than others). Does anybody read the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich,  . The world according to Jeremy Clarkson are a good read on a long Journey.

| Currently reading the Good Guy by Dean Kootz, (read The Husband a while back and thought that was good so bought this one).
Last trip I read a couple of the newer James Patterson, I used to really like him but the last couple haven't been as good I don't think. |

| Just returned from a beach holiday and managed to get through;
The Infidelity Chain Tess Stimson ......an easy read and quite good.
Going Dutch Katie Fforde.........very predictable
Those Faraday Girls Monica McInnery.......a new author for me and I would read more of her stuff.
Faith Lesley Pearse........another easy read but I enjoyed it.
I am finishing Tell it to the skies Erica James and then I will have finished holiday mode and will look for something a little meatier

| Fiona, don't try the channel crossing, they admit they were mad and wouldn't do it again. They were extremely lucky to get away with it. We have done part of the Canal du Midi on a yacht and it was great. We would love to gone all the way to the Atlantic but had to come back to work in those days. It is a very relaxing form of travel and the only hard work are the locks.
There is now another one out as they took the boat across the pond and went down the eastern seaboard of the States. I haven't got it yet but keep thinking I must get it off Amazon. |
