I've just finished reading "overheard in a dream" by Torey Hayden.  It's a lot different than her other books which are true stories told from her point of view as a child psychologist or special ed teacher,  this is i think maybe based on a few dfferent cases with some more dramatic and fantasy stuff put in.  

anyway i ordered the valley of the horses by jean m auel at the library ages ago but i've not heard anything, i also have to order 1984 or my mate steve says he'll disown me!

Yeah 1984 is brilliant, one of my favourite books ever! I have Valley of the Horses so you can borrow it when you're back here, I have the rest of the series too, Valley of the Horses is actually missing a few pages at the start though where my dog chewed it!

I recently finished Atonement by Ian McEwan. It was good, I enjoyed it for the most part, especially the bits about how as a writer you kind of play God, found it dragged in a few places unneccessarily but overall it was a good read.

reading brisingr now, the last in a trilogy of eragon & eldest

sorry for the double post...

just finished "the name of the wind"...
not a high profile book but I thought it was a really good fantasty story - I can't wait for the sequel!

No worries about double posts There's really only just a few of us use the site these days so it's grand.

I'm still just reading study books, when I was on hols though i read Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky, a great book, she brings characters to life so quickly, and a very tragic story behind the story as she died in a concentration camp in WW2, the book was never finished.

I'm reading Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman. Short stories again. Just read a really weird one... it's like a sherlock holmes story but has a really good twist at the end. And it has aliens in it.

Currently reading The Kingdom of Malinas by EJ Tett, a young, up& coming fantasy writer It's very good so far, finding it hard to put down!

Ive just finished Duma Key , by Stephen King. Twas silly but good.

You are young! You're younger than me anyway! Love it so far but haven't  much of a chance to read, with sis being up and stuff, hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll get a chance!

Only a year younger! Cool, glad you're enjoying it anyway!

Younger is younger! Yeah it's good, I'd have read more if I hadn't been so exhausted the last few nights & I forgot to bring it up to mum's last night (also forgot my pyjamas so it's not a reflection on the book, trust me! I just left the bag behind that it was in)

Cool.

I'm still reading Renegade's Magic by Robin Hobb. And now also reading the Momaya Annual review, which AR leant me! Which is short stories, though I've only read two of them so far.

Cool! All I'm reading at the mo really are textbooks Still, 6-7 weeks and I'm finished  after the summer, plan on reading a lot then!
