I've recently finished reading Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coehlo, good read, especially since it's so much about sex from a woman's point of view, and it's written by a man....It's the story of the life of a brazilian woman who becomes a prostitute in Switzerland.

I've finally finished the lame 7th Harry Potter book - and it took being stuck at home for a week with the lurgy to do it!

Now I'm reading "In the company of the Courtesan" which is about this 17th Century courtesan in Venice , pretty good so far....

I read White Oleander by Janet Fitch recently, was very good, disturbing, about how people screw each other up, a good read!

Just bought a book the other day ... 'PS I love you' ... wouldn't of heard of it only my friend told me to read it.

Have any of you read it? I tried reading it last night but got bored after the first page! I really should read it though after spending that money on it ...

Hmm....rant coming on.....read it and let me know what you think, I haven't actually read it but I have a whole lot to say on the subject!

It's written by the daughter of our prime minister....

I get those kind of rants! ^

At the mo I'm reading The Monster Hunter's Handbook: The ultimate guide to saving mankind from vampires, zombies, hellhounds and other mythical beasts.

It's not a story, it's kinda like an encyclopedia, but tis ace!! I love books like that anyway, and how ace is the title?!

it is a really cool title!

I think you were subjected to a rant o the subject of that same book Em, in the buffy thread over at the lost world as Spike from that is going to be in the movie version of it...


I'm just reading a book i got hubby for xmas, The Sopranos series companion, it's just somethign to dip in and out of as I haven't had the energy for anything else really!

Ah yeah I remember! I was probably ranting about the fella who wrote Eragon...

I got Stardust by Neil Gaiman and American Gods also by Neil Gaiman for Christmas so will try and read them soon. I still haven't finished The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, it's good but I just can't seem to get into it!

I've been like that a lot lately! not able to really sink my teeth into a book...I go through phases like that sometimes though, then I might read three or four books on one really intense week!

I've seem the movie stardust & liked it! .. so is this book worth reading then?!

I've not read it yet, but I've read other Neil Gaiman stuff and he's really good. Usually quite funny so I might start reading it soon!

oh no I didn't mean that ... I meant the one I bought ... "PS I hate you"

I haven't read it so i can't say for sure that it isn't...I've no intention of ever reading it myself though! but then i can be stubborn like that! It might be good, it is a bestseller, but that's mostly because of the marketing drive it got in my opinion...see, just can't help myself, rant starting!

no worries ... the first page is just soo boring I dont know whether I can last the whole book!

hehe, that just proves my suspicions.... Don't let me put you off though!
