Too lazy to read many new books these days, but I do listen to A Book at Bedtime. I've found lots of good modern authors that way (and usually have to get the book to find out how it ended!) B |

Yes a fantastic book especially for those who know someone on the autistic spectrum. I cried at the end - most unusual for me, usually a tough nut! Maz. XX |

Last Christmas hubby bought me the last in the series of Harry Potter and I put it to one side....in the summer bought the first four and am now on to 'The Chamber of Secrets' (the first thick one). I don't know if it is a good thing or not but I tend to speed read...I enjoy the story and the action but I don't retain ... can be quite good for me because, with thrillers etc., I can read and read again after a year - and I don't remember 'who dunnit' !!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Nothing wrong with Harry Potter - whatever your age; can't wait for 'HP and the Halfblood Prince' to come out. |

Christine, must admit to having read all the Harry Potter book and enjoyed them all. Can't get into the Lord of The Rings books though. Maggy |

Have recently read this - found I couldn't put it down - such a different read - I found I was reading at pace as though someone was actually talking - would really recommend it - must be going back to childhood as I am now reading 'Harry Potter' ......... its good |

That sort of presents another problem doesn't it - aside from all the probably excellent modern books that you'd love to read, there's also a major list of classics that you'd like to get through (even if only to say that you've read them !). |

Hi Simon I tend to read thrillers. I was never much into reading as a youngster. But the other day I was helping my daughter with her English Lit homework and had to read some excerpts from Great Expectations. I think I might have to give it a read. It really gripped me Jeanette x |

I've finally got round to reading this novel and think it's a really good read. I wish I could find the time to read more as I always have this un-nerving feeling that classics are passing me by that would really inspire me. What other good stuff has anyone read recently that you'd recommend ? |
