*_ash_* Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I can't find the 'currently watching' thread (if there is one) If anyone has an hour between reading, this last night was brilliant. Just wow! To post on topic, I'm currently reading Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Finished Different Class by Joanne Harris, which was just as good as - if not better than - Gentlemen & Players. Highly recommended, especially in audiobook format, where the additional voice provided by Ewan Goddard adds a perfect, shudderingly creepy note to Steven Pacey's reliably excellent narration. Currently reading Into The Woods: How Stories Work and Why We Tell Them by John Yorke, and You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) by the fabulous Felicia Day.

Nagel Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 The 'strange and sometimes worrying' Curvology by David Bainbridge. “Curvology”, a new book by David Bainbridge, focuses on the part played by evolution in men’s—and women’s—understanding and appreciation of the undulations of the female form. Men’s and women’s bodies differ more than is necessary simply to gestate, bear and nourish children. Why? http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21645120-why-and-wherefore-womens-curves-shape-shifting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Redshirts by John Scalzi. Junior ensigns on the starship Intrepid suffer an unusually high death rate on away missions, whereas the captain, chief science officer and chief engineer all return unscathed. Sound familiar? Very amusing but getting darker half way through, and cleverly done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 "The Book of Ultimate Truths" - Robert Rankin. Proof, if it were needed, that Hedgehogs live in the upper atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just finished Night Show by Richard Laymon (gory horror) and now I'm halfway through Holding Wonder by Zenna Henderson, a collection of SF stories from the 50s and 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Raiders of the Lost Car Park The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived and Witches of Chiswick. Working my way through the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. It keeps switching from 2012 to 2013 but once you've cracked it, its a good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Raiders of the Lost Car Park The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived and Witches of Chiswick. Working my way through the genre. My favourites were the Brentford ones with Pooley and Omally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lectrolove Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The Hand That First Held Mine by Maggie O'Farrell. The synopsis sounds like chick-lit (family secret, two women whose lives collide fifty years after the death of one of them) but the exquisite beauty of the writing elevates it to a whole new level. Just breathtaking. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
