I love the Tales of the City collection, it's true they're the perfect stories for reading while sitting in the sun or curled up in an armchair for the day. Reading one of the Tales of the City books gives me a good feeling, like having spent the day chatting and catching up with a good friend :)

my favourite actor the last while is James MacAvoy,liked him in the last few movies I've seen( which my other half has noticed I'm purchasing purposely cos James is in them) and oh that smile and those blue eyes :blush: other fav actors would be Liam Neeson, Benicio del Toro, Jack Nicholson and...

POTE was the first book I'd read by Ken Follett and I really enjoyed it. It's a first for me to read historical fiction and I was surprised at how into the book I got. I've now purchased World Without End and hope I'll like it as I see from the views here that the people who have read it...

It'd been a while since I'd read a book in one sitting but last week out sick from work I had the time so read Terry Pratchett's Wintersmith.

Garp is a great book, I recently read Hotel New Hampshire again and now I think that's one of my favourites of John Irving. You feel like you're living with this family and I missed them when I finished the book:rolleyes: I read his latest Until I Find You and I'm still not sure if I like it...

Northern Exposure was one I loved as well, was a good series. I'm wondering has "Scrubs" been cancelled...I saw on play.com that they have up as far as Season 3 and then nothing else, just wondering now cos that's a great series :)

Today popped into Chapters in Dublin and bought two books, The Snapper by Roddy Doyle and The Big Picture by Douglas Kennedy. Never heard of Douglas Kennedy before, liked the look of the book so said I'd give it a try.

If I can remember back far enough I know that the first book was a Famous Five one, which one it was I wouldn't know but I loved the whole series. Didn't they always have great meals in those stories, always managing to stumble upon a farmhouse with a table laden with food..:p My first novel...

I usually read before going to bed and always for a train, plane or bus journey have a book with me. it's like abecedarian says, it also feels like I forgot my toothbrush or something if I don't bring a book with me when I'm going somewhere :)

I love Grapes of Wrath, it would be my fav but then I've only read that and Cannery Row by Steinbeck so I'll have to read some more of his stuff.

Is Cuckoos creepy ? Like very creepy ? Just checking, not that I'm scared of creepy books....:o I heard the movie Children of The Damned was sort of based on this book.

I too loved The Hobbit but had to give up halfway through Lord of the Rings Trilogy.. I have never given up on a book, will usually get to the ending but with this I got to a point where I couldn't keep up with the names and hobbits and really didn't care where the ring was... Read something...
