Book Club

Slight change of tone here but I have just made a real lemon of myself over my reading on the plane.

Went over to Florida a couple of weeks ago and bought myself Bill Bryson "notes from a Big Country" to read. Great Read and would recommed it to anyone. I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would by another for the return trip and purchased "I am a Stranger Here Myself" from a bookshop in th Oveida Market Place. Got to the airport and settled down to start reading only to find it was the same book I had already read under a different title!![msncry]

I so hate that - why publish the same book under two different titles for the UK and the US!
I did feel a right twit I can tell you [msnsad]

Has anybody read any of the Jasper Fforde books about Thursday Next? Have to say a friend gave me the first of these a few weeks ago and I'm now hooked and have raced through the next 3 in double quick time!

I haven't heard of them. What sort of books are they?

Jan I just love the Bill Bryson books, have them all apart from the last one about science, brain has not been up to reading that level yet! I have just bought Ewan MacGregor & Charley Boormans book on their motorcycle journey, and am keeping it for our hols!

Anyone seen the new Pride & Prejudice film? Took the gals to see it last weekend, very good - after the reviews was expecting to be disappointed, but we all enjoyed it.

I have that one Fiona - started reading it but found it a bit heavy going. May have to try it again at a later date.

Don't have Sky Liesa because I am such a cheapskate I won't pay a fortune so the gals can watch even more rubbish and I have more rows about homework! I may relent once YD has finished her A Levels but it goes against the grain for ax ex-BBC girl to pay any money to Murdoch's mob.

Have just got Always & Forever by Cathy Kelly, about my level at the mo for late night reading, can manage something with a bit more concentrating while on hols, although do still have the latest Joanne Trollope to finish!

[laugh][laugh][laugh]Oh Jan, hope you can laugh about it now!

[stabard]

Yep - It does give me a laugh [laugh] and as I left the first copy in the florida house I can still reread it here in the UK now. So I suppose there is an upside to my lapse in concentration

Has anybody read The Innocent by Harlan Coben? I am reading it at the moment and finding it really good, although I dont get much chance to read these days and have been reading it since July! When I do eventually finish it I have The Other Woman by Jane Green lined up.
