brisbane Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I read the Time Travellers wife a couple of months ago, thought it was fab! Not reading anything at the moment, I've started some books but they just don't seem to flow. Think I need a funny read without being too hard work. Any ideas?

Rooty Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Brisbane theres a funny Chick lit novel i read ages ago called 'Can you Keep a Secret?' by Sophie Kinsella which i found a very easy, light hearted funny book which made me laugh out loud many times.

taxman Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm supposed to be reading "Gentlemen and Players" by Joanne Harris and although it is very good I've been unable to get a really good run at it because I've been busy and hence I've not got into it quite how I should have.

aligel Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 At the moment I'm reading 'Island Madness' by Tim Binding. It's dead good. Read another of his called 'The Perfect Execution', then saw this one in a charity shop so thought I'd pick it up. Very enjoyable - it's a sort of murder mystery woven around how it is to live in a place occupied by the Germans during the war (Guernsey). Brilliantly written!

taxman Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm reading "The Stranger House" by Reginald Hill, who wrote the Dalziel and Pascoe books. It's a murder mystery set in the Lake District and I'm really enjoying it's blend of modern crime with historical intrigue. The heroine is a feisty redhead - right up my street!

shoeshine Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I'm half-way through The Toyminator by Robert Rankin. It's Robert Rankin as usual.......an unlikely mix of a sort of Toy World mixed in with our world, full of humour and fast-moving fantasy action. I shall be a bit sad, as usual, when I have finished Rankin's book. Never mind. I intend to seek out more of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
