Bleak House by Dickens.

It's so boring....

[BoneDog]

i assume its nothing like the film i saw,where the letter M was missing from mass(yes there is a film)SHIT its instruction not destruction i feel so foolish now!

No, none of that business going on! I hope the guys in that film rubbered up. Otherwise there's a possibility of crap up the Jap and that's just asking for trouble.

I love the James Patterson Women's Murder Club Series......Currently reading 7th Heaven.........I've read almost all of them now

Try Henning Mankell if you like crime writing.

Just read that. Thought it was OK, got better as it went. Some people love it but I wouldn't go that far.

Saw the film yesterday. Decent, bit rushed, strange casting, but better than I anticipated.

Currently reading 'The Andromeda Strain' again, cracking read

I've just got the sequel, The Secret Speech from the Library, might not bother with it now if it's pretty average.

no, it is good, if you like his style and the characters it's a must read but, without giving too much away, the plot is not so realistic and it's a bit of a stretch of the imagination - at least compared to the excellence of the first book. but do read it.

[Head Honcho]

Absolutely amazing book. Fantastically written and hard to put down.

Started this last night and I must say what a way to start a book. Just brilliant, hope the rest of the book is just as good.

Based on true events:

Look up the documentary on YouTube with the same name, it's totally gripping.

John Le Carré couldn't write a better spy novel.

[MC Prussian]

Have you seen "The Two Escobars"? Might make for a good addition to your reading.

EDIT: Yes, he has. (After having gone through the Documentary Thread)

1984 George Orwell, reckon it might top my all time favourite book which is Fever Pitch.

[Rincewind]

Not reading it but I would like to promote it. Author has same name as me and writes for children mostly about pirates as far as I can see.

pirates

[21st Century Fox]

Anyone else pre-ordered a copy of the english translation of 1Q84?

[The People's Hero]

Not pre ordered but will be looking to read once they are available.

Was watching "wonders of the universe" earlier and he was talking about time running down and at the end, everything in our universe will literally burn out etc and be done with. Made me think it all just seems so pointless in the grand scheme (guess it fepends on what you think that scheme maybe aha) and where the future of mankind lies if we make it that far into the future. Went down to waterstones and found this that looks like it may be interesting.

nope, afraid not. Not even a measly pop up

[21st Century Fox]

Just finished reading this by James Dickey (Deliverance).

About a U.S. airman shot down in Japan during a WWII bombing raid and follows his attempts to make it to the snowy mountainous area of Japan. The kind of story that would usually follow a heroic character but the main protagonist is a murderous, Alaskan outdoorsman.

Really good, excellent character study.
