    Philippa Gregory

    Phillipa Gregory I actually really enjoyed the Tudor book Gregory - The Other Boleyn Girl, The Constant Princess and The Boleyn Inheritance. Has anyone else read her books? I felt like the movie totally ruined it all

    Booktin does in Swarup's Slumdog Millionaire Novel

    Oh I’ve seen the film, I was wrapped up in all the hype and after all the ‘de de de de de de de’ (that was the Who Wants to Be A Millionaire soundtrack - duh) I came to the conclusion that although I thought the film was good, it wasn’t a totally ‘feel good film.’ Maybe the critics meant, his...

    I agree! I couldn't really get into Little Women - I think it is too remote

    Dan Brown

    I can't agree with you - I read the first page of Da Vinci Code and I thought it was over simplistic and crass...not my cuppa

    Belle de Jour: Slut or Celebrity?

    I think she's bigger in Britain than the US - but I was talking to this guy from Brooklyn who said he's seen billboards of her book around. She's an anonymous call girl who has documented her life - it's spawned three books and a TV series here - I think it's being made into a film. Check out...

    Ever read a book and years later want to re-read it but have no idea what it was?

    I read this book called The Other Side - it was the spaciest book I've read, really maudlin but I can't find it anywhere! Totally agree with abecedarian, I'm jealous of the lifetime lists too...

    Belle de Jour: Slut or Celebrity?

    I personally LOVE Belle, I think her writing is direct, to the point and totally addictive. I do know however, that people have great issues with her chosen subject matter: her life as an escort - I know she is a real person blogging some aspects of her life but...the way female sexuality is...
