What are you reading.
We were just talking about books on the eurothreads and it occurs to me that we are a diverse lot on here. We are drawn together by the love of bruce's music and music in general but we all have other interests.
I sadly read about 3 books a week and am always looking for new good books to read.
So I'll kick off with the 3 best books I have read recently.
1 We need to talk about kevin Lionel Shriver
2 Fingersmith Sara Waters
3 The Time Travellers Wife Audrey Niffenegar
(actually I read this over a year ago but just loved it)
So suggestions for good books welcome xxannie

Re: What are you reading.
hoorah!...this is so cool, Annie :D
You are not alone, Annie as I do between 2 and 3 a week also.
As well as the 'Living during the Ind.rev' as said on the Euro thread, I'm also reading William Boyd's- Restless.
Other books from the last couple of weeks reading, that I have thought to be ver good were:
Pig Island by Mo Hayden
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes
The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory ( a FANTASTIC read !!)

OOh that's good, Annie, as I'm only about 40 pages in.
We can review together! :D

Re: What are you reading.
Sound like a cunning plan. is Philippa Gregory the one who writes historical novels or am I muddling her up with someone else?

Re: What are you reading.
That's right, she does the history novels
' The Queen's fool ' is not her latest, but my Aunty just saw it and thought I'd like it.
It was a fantastic read. Though the main story is fictional,everything that goes on around it is based on fact.
So, you get a great read and a history lesson, ta boot!

Re: What are you reading.
Oh dear, is this what it's come down to?
We all joined these boards because of our passion for all things Bruce - rock & roll and all that! Now it seems that the wild women of rock are turning into budding Ken Barlows and forming a book club.
How times change
Come back Bruce! Quick! Before they start swapping knitting patterns too
