The past few weeks I've read a few books. The Millenium trilogy - LOVED the first one, Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. Enjoyed the other two but felt it was stretching the credibility a bit at times. I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull for a bookclub I'm in. Was not impressed at all. At least it was short. I think it has a history/reputation for being a "life changing book" but I just didn't get that out of it at all. I finally read Kite Runner and I'm half way through A Thousand Splendid...

Controversial I know but I was watching the new Foxtel channel 'Stvdio' on Monday and came across a program about this book. It has absolutely fascinated me not only because of it's content but mainly because it is still pretty much 'forbidden' and copies are extraordinarily expensive and very difficult to find. Do any of you ladies who were in the targeted age group to receive this book (12-15) in the 60's remember the hoo-haa surrounding the issuing of it? Judging by the documentary it...

My family want me to tell them of some books that they will buy me for Xmas? Are there some new releases out there that anyone knows of which will be good reading? I like books by Di Morrisey / Jodie Picolt /Danielle Steele those sort of books. I dont like vampire books or sex books just your basic books for 51 year old womenLMAO

Well i got these books for my son & now they are sitting on my Bookshelf so on friday before went went away camping i thought i may as well read them i was going to eventually but i just thought they wouldn't interest me. I took it camping sat in the van Saturday for 3 hours reading i couldn't put the book down. I read until 4am this morning i only have 2 chapters to go then i'll watch the movie but i wanted to read the book first. OMG what a book i love it. OMG how sexy does Edward sound WOW...

Out of pure boredom and the desire to read a new book, i would like to know everyone's top 5 books of all time :) mine are: 1. The Pelican Brief- John Grisham 2. The Trophy Taker- Lee Weeks 3. Whiteout- Ken Follet 4. The Life and Death of Charlie St Cloud- Ben Sherwood 5. The Rainmaker- John Grisham Yeah 2 John Grisham ones made it in there- he is a pretty good author, but that is another discussion for another thread.

Has anyone read this book? It has been featured on Oprah and a few other places and is supposed to be a great, insightful read........I tried to get it today at our library but it was on loan and they only had one copy :brow: typical!

What was your most favorite book as a child? I loved the series of books about the 'large family of elephants' - My fav book from the set was Five minutes peace :D ( let me say having kids I finally get the story :hehe: )

Is anyone here a member of a social book club? You know, the type that get together once a month and chat about the book they've read this month (the book they chose for the month) kind of thing? I noticed around my area there were a couple, but none of which were taking on new members - clearly quite popular. So i started one of my own. I think it's a great idea to have a book club. I LOVE reading. It's one of the small number of things that relaxes me. I hope that this little...

Since talking about the book My sisters keeper I was wondering if anyone has read any of the authors other books aswell? I found the book in Big W today along with a few of her other books that sounded alright after reading the back blurb so I have a few more questions: Are the stories good enough that you would reach for the book again? If you have read any of her other books which would you recommend?

How many of you out there Love the Twlight books, I am on to the third book and just love it, I am a nanna and just love the story, it has really sucked me in, I love the subtext to of trying to fit in even though there are differences and trying to be accepted for what they are not who they are, the love of Edward and Bella, no sex, etc. What do other people think? Please let me know.

I just loved this book and it is similar to Elsa the lioness that was set free into the wilds of Africa by Joy and George Adamson, has any one else seen the YouTube clip about the lion?:winner::clap:

charlaine harris has a series of books that include the word "dead" in the title. it's a series of seven books and also involve vampires. i'm already on the second book.. these books are so similar to the twilight series it's not even funny..they're more for adults though and involve sex and all that, so i wouldn't recommend your kids reading them, but they are great, especially if you like the twilight series. i'm actually shocked to see how many comparisons their are in both books-as if...

Have you read a good book lately? Tell me about it - I need some new books to read but there's nothing that jumps out and says READ ME! so give me your recommendations. I like general fiction, crime, sci fi ... pretty much anything except mills&boon type romance iykwim.
