I'm very tempted to move to your town ! I was member of an online reading club a couple of years ago. One of the reasons I quit is that I couldn't always afford to buy the book of the month, which sometimes was a rather expensive hardback. I was astonished how easily other members, especially...

I think his new book is called " the big over easy" and was released on July 18th

You must be kidding ! Even if the book were available in French, our library surely would not to have it. Although I live in a fairly large city, our local library is a joke. I don't think they have any novels that were released after 1980. Thank heaven, we have some good bookstores and one of...

I had "princes if Ireland" in muy hands when I last visited London, but put it back on the shelf because I still had "London" to read. I am sorry now I didn't buy it because I've read "London" in the meantime and truly enjoyed it. Some chapters were more captivating than others. I especillay...

I read " the Eyre Affair" this summer. I hadn't enjoyed a book so much in a long time. Just read" lost in a good book" and enjoyed it as well. I haven't bought number 3 and 4 so far, although I always am tempted when I am at the bookstore, but I hope to get them second-hand sometime.

Thank you for the advice. I hate giving up a book, anyway, and do that only if I truly hate it.

I am a bit disppointed by "Pillars of the earth" so far. It isn't as enthralling as I hoped, but I ahve only read 120 pages so far and I am told it is worth hanging on.

Welcome, Tamsine. What do you plan to read next, after TPOTE? __________________ Thank you for your welcome. I often read several books at the same time. I usually have one in my bag, one on my bedside table and one in the living-room. I started " the Dante Club" weeks ago. I like the...

Do you have a favourite author? __________________ Hi . I have many favourite authors. I like classic English literature : Dickens, W. Wilkie Collins, Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy, Elisabeth Gaskell, but I also enjoy modern writers like Anne Tyler, Arto Paasilinna, Annie Proulx, Joanne...

For those who like historical mysteries I'd suggest you try novels by Janet Gleeson. She doesn't seem to be well-known. I picked up " the grenadillo box " at a bookstore by chance some months ago and absolutely loved it. Recently, I read " the serpent in the garden" which I enjoyed just as...

I first read " the return of the native" and was instantly hooked by Thomas Hardy's writing. I then read " life's litlle ironies" and " the well-beloved" which I enjoyed less. Had I started with those, I might not have gone on reading his other works. My most recent read was " the...

I read it several years ago and loved it. I remember he described the flowers in the garden so vividly I thought I could smell them. It is a pity he wrote no other novels.

Pillars of the earth I started reading it two days ago and I must say I am disppointed. I had heard so much about it and it regularly is listed among the most popular books of all times. It is OK, but not as enthralling as I expected. :confused: Well, to be honest, I've only read 120 Pages so...
