Thanks for starting this thread, I enjoy these monthly ones.
The F word: How to survive your family; Louie Anderson
The Collectors; Dadvid Baldacci
The Book of Lies; Brad Meltzer
The first book was just a kill. Anderson is a great comedian whose father was an alcoholic. Dysfunction never came off more amusing it is in this book. The Baldacci book was excellent, the Meltzer book was a bit of a let down with a far fetched story line featuring the original weapon that Cain used to kill Abel.

That sounds pretty interesting. I had no idea he wrote a book.
I read:
The Sign for Drowning - Rachel Stolzman
A Clash of Kings - George R R Martin
Sign for Drowning was pretty good for a debut and gave really good insight into the world of the deaf. Clash of Kings is almost 1100 pages and I normally don't even like fantasy, but this series is extremely well written.

I read:
Let The Right One In : John Ajvide Lindqvist
Wolf Hall : Hilary Mantel
The Lost Symbol : Dan Brown
Red Queen : HM Brown
The Death of Bunny Munro : Nick Cave
Crimes Against Humanity : Chaitanya Davé
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? : Philip K Dick
The Children's Book : AS Byatt
Disgrace : JM Coetzee
October was a great month for me in regards to reading, there wasn't one book on that list I didn't enjoy. However, the standouts would have to be Let The Right One In, Wolf Hall, Crimes Against Humanity and The Children's Book - very easy to see why WH and TCB were shortlisted for the Booker Prize!
