What are you reading right now! - Page 48

Ohhh The Lost Symbol...biggest let down ever. Spent weeks and months looking forward to that coming out, we even ordered two copies so Andy and I didn't have to wait for the first person to finish reading it...what a waste of hours! I adore Dan Brown books but this was hideous, there was one "twist" that I didn't see coming but bar that it was a total let down. It'll probably be a good film as it'll be more direct, we both had the feeling that it was like reading something that'd been written for film and then padded out to make it long enough to be a good book. Total let down!

I've got The Lost Symbol to read next, after I've finished reading ...And Another Thing, which is the controversial new Hitchhiker's Guide novel, that wasn't written by the creator... Can't seem to shake this feeling of déjà vu lol

I'm still reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. I watched a good film on tv last night rather than read, so I'm still slow as a snail making my way through the book. I am still enjoying the adventure though ...

Hypnobabe · 22 Aug 2010, 12:03

Just finished Awkward Situations For Men, by Danny Wallace, the bloke who wrote Yes Man - that books still makes me laugh out loud and is highly recommended!

Next to read is Alison Weir's The Lady In The Tower, about Anne Boleyn.

I have finished Angels & Demons by Dan Brown !!! ... yay ! ... Imo, it was a much better adventure than The DaVinci Code, though I did enjoy that, too. The only part that bothered me was I knew what couldn't happen, I just couldn't guess how it wouldn't and when it didn't, I found it very farfetched ... lol ...

Tomorrow I begin Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell.

Btw, does the film Angels & Demons do the book justice and/ or is it any good ? I have opportunity to watch it this weekend.

Ta and niteNite ...

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

GDW · 25 Sep 2010, 10:45

This.

Sue K · 25 Sep 2010, 17:38

I'm proud of me... lol ... I began Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell last night before going to bed !!! ...

... wowDwow ~ THAT'S a ... second... lol ...

Pudding · 26 Sep 2010, 03:00

Finally finished The Lost Symbol...f*ck me what a drag. It started off really well but it's about 200 pages too long. Dan Brown spoiled the plot by over-explaining shit that had absolutely sod all to do with anything relevent. Reminded me of when I was at school and was given a 1000 word essay but I could only manage 800, so I filled it out by throwing any old shit in there. As Lucy mentions, it'll probably be a good film.

Sue K · 26 Sep 2010, 03:47

Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell and in fact, I think I'm off to read some more at 10pm est and then off for an early snooze.

Hypnobabe · 26 Sep 2010, 11:44

The Fry Chronicles... Managed to find a signed copy in Heffers in Cambridge on Wednesday to add to my collection of signed-by-the-author books.... Unfortunately I didn't get it done personally by Sir Stephen of Frydom....

melon · 26 Sep 2010, 13:25

The art of wrist spinning by Peter Philpott... just a little further reading, see if there are any different opinions from that of the coaches, so far its all pretty similar

Sue K · 26 Sep 2010, 17:12

Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell and I did read a bit last night. Brrr, it's going to be a gory thriller ! I like it ! ... lol ...

Sue K · 04 Oct 2010, 22:11

I'm still reading Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell and being re-introduced to characters I'd forgotten about from other Cornwell's other books featuring Kate Scarpetta. I'm enjoying it immensely.

mtaylor315 · 10 Oct 2010, 04:18

I've just finished two books :

1984 by George Orwell - truly amazing. one of the few books i've read that has kept me hooked throughout and also made me think about its themes and the ideas it gives.

Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut - this books definitely different. . though in a good sense

. Really amazing writer!

I've got a keen interest in history & am sitting an Advanced Higher course as well this year at school, so have started reading 'Battle Cry of Freedom - The American Civil War' by James M. McPherson - very good read so far, although the small print and 880 or so pages make it slightly daunting to me
