A book I would recommend, for a good laugh, is "Ladies of Letters Log On" - can't remember the author, I picked it up in the library and found it a hoot. Both sexes would enjoy...... Apparently they made a Radio 4 prog on it which I missed. If repeated I must listen, Patricia Routledge is, apparently, one of the stars.....a friend in Seattle heard it! |

The Da Vincie Code is living up to the hype. I'm 1/4 of the way through and can't put it down. |

Read Short History not long ago - so interesting! Will def put Da Vinci Code on my list. Rose - just finished the Eats Shites and Leaves (after reading the Shoots one) some v funny bits in it. Also the Timewaster Letters are v silly. Forgot to recommend the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith - make sure you read them in order! Maz. XX |

Iused to be a real enthusiast of Patricia Cornwell,but I have found her recent books far too dark.I did wonder about her own mental stability when I saw her program about Jack the Ripper. I liked the Bernard Cornwall trilogy Harlequin etc.very good I also feel that our own Dorset writer Minette Waters is a bit written out now-disappointing.She was as good as Patricia Cornwell but not so hung up on the intense gory descriptions.

I'm reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything at the moment, which is excellent but hard going at times.. am about 2/3rds through. I've also bought his "notes" books (of which I can't recall the ttiles but one is about England the other America) which I'll read next, unless I decided on something a little lighter in between !! |

Have just got back from Dorchester and I popped into Ottackers and bought the Dan Brown Da Vinci Code and two others of his in a three for 2 offer.Also went into The Word and picked up Eats Leaves & Shites which is a runner up by a different author to the Eats Shoots and Leaves,which really appealed to me. STOP MENTIONING GOOD BOOKS I CAN'T AFFORD ANY MORE, bOOKWORM rOSE |

can't keep up with it Paul.... there's a different chapter every week. And the illustrations are all different too, it's a bit of a distraction! |

I'm reading a Bernard Cornwell novel called Battle Flag. Not intellectually challenging, but exciting. |

Hi Deb, im nearly finished the Da Vinci Code and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Ive also just started the last book in Stephen Kings Dark Tower series cos i couldnt wait. If youve not read any of his Dark Tower books i would recommend them, the volumes are as thick as bricks but once you start you cant put them down. |

Answer as a man by Taylor Caldwell. I am hoping to read soon, after my birthday, a book about the history of the East Suffolk railway. :-) Joy |

If you want a book that will make you laugh, cry, scream, shout at then I recommend A MILLION LITTLE PIECES by James Frey. It's a fantastic book that both men and women will enjoy.... and it's a TRUE story!! There is even talk about making it into a film!! If you have a teenager dabbling in drugs then get them to read it too.... I can promise that they will be so affected by it that they will stop!! |
