Funky_Gibbon Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've just finished reading (about 4 minutes ago) Lords Of The North by Bernard Cornwell. It's the third book in his series about the Saxons fight against the Danish invasion in the 9th Century. It's been a pretty good series so far although I prefer his Sharpe novels as he's able to put more historical detail into them. Next up is going to be Because The Night by James Ellroy since it's about the only JE book I haven't read yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exterminate Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Just finished reading Jodi Picoult's 'My Sister's Keeper'. I enjoyed it but it made me cry. Can anyone suggest something light hearted to read?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mush Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've just finished reading (about 4 minutes ago) Lords Of The North by Bernard Cornwell.

It's been a pretty good series so far although I prefer his Sharpe novels as he's able to put more historical detail into them. If you've not already read them, can i recommend to you Cornwell's Arthurian Trilogy - The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur. They are amongst my favorite Arthurian novels ever!

They are amongst my favorite Arthurian novels ever! I read them a few years ago. I thought that apart from that series he did that started with Vagabond (set during the reign of Henry IV) they were the weakest of his novels. Still pretty good but not something I'd want to read again unlike most of BC's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samesame monkey Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Just finished 'Matter' this morning, utterly brilliant, Banks at his best! Quandary now, I have three books to read, and can't decide which to go at first. 'The Gum Theif' by Douglas Coupland, 'A Spot of Bother' by Mark Haddon or 'Wintersmith' by Terry Pratchett. Decisions, decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
