Simon T Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I recently ploughed through Freedom by Jonathan Franzen which was heavy going but brilliant. To reward myself I am now reading 'Who ate all the pies?' a biography on chubby footballer Micky Quinn - a great easy read Can anyone beat that?

CottonTop Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Neither are trashy but I have "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" on my bedside table that I am reading with my oldest and then I have "The Swan Thieves" by Elizabeth Kostova. Just started that one so can't say much about it. I read "The Historian" also by Kostova and it was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horribleblob Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I can't beat that, Simon T. If ever I want trash I re-read a Raymond Chandler - that's about as trashy as I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
