The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory ( a FANTASTIC read !!)
if you liked this one, be sure to read "the other boleyn girl." it is incredible!!!
i'm reading "the aerialist" by richard schmitt. it's an interesting read about a young man who literally runs away to join the circus. haven't really decided whether or not i like it, but i can't put it down!!
aneee-how do you like the fingersmith? i read it a while ago...

Come back Bruce! Quick! Before they start swapping knitting patterns too 
Just to be ever so slightly controversial, I sort of don't agree Kath.
As still a relative newcomer its taken me some time to get used to the lack of Bruce related content on (or should that be 'in' I never know???) Mary's Place, but I've come to love how its Bruce that binds us together, but then we can talk about and have loads of other connections in our 'real lives'. So although I get better and more frequent Bruce fixes from other sites, I'm still here most often. Does any of this make sense?
As for books, I currently have a couple on the go
- Mercator: The Man Who Mapped the Planet by Nicholas Crane; which is a lot heavier and more academic than I'd expected, but I'm ploughing through it and
- Long Way Down by Nick Hornby, mostly for when I'm travelling
and a few more on my waiting list
- Imperium by Robert Harris
- The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld
- Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux
- And about 8 books about Bruce :p
Overall I'm a far better book buyer than reader

Re: What are you reading.
I really enjoyed the Fingersmith, actually gasped out loud at one point in the plot.
I think she is an incredibly talented writer. just bought Nightwatch but haven't started it yet. need to read library books first.

Hi Nick...hows things. Not that you have any intrest in books LMAO
I'm fine Annie. Regarding books, to be honest I rarely read for pleasure as it's a bit like a busman's holiday for me. Plus I get frustrated when I see mistakes!! Sue's like you though - 2 to 3 books per week. I'll ask her for her Top Tips.

Re: What are you reading.
Jon...you wait till another tour is up then it will be buzzin with Bruce topics on here.
Re books and Bruce...I suspect if he hadnt started reading some of the books that have influenced his lyrics over the years we would have fewer great songs to listen to.
Every bruce fan should read The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck (and see the movie) xx

Re: What are you reading.
At the minute, I'm slowly working my way through Toyah Wilcox's Diary Of A Facelift.
It's a day by day account of everything she went through before, during and after surgery
