No but the father of the main character wants to write a book about ukranian tractors. It was a moderately enjoyable book - though a little hard going in places.

i remember my first year of A-Level english, we were all asked to do a book review. I did Nineteen-Eighty Four, my mate however, chose to review this:


Watching him give a half hour critique on a child's book was amazing!

[Decadence]

Anyone ever tried to read this?

[city fan]

No, it'll never catch on......

Would recomend:

A fortunate Life - A.B. Facey
The Kite runner - Khaled Hosseini (its a tear jerker)

My next purchase is going to be the book of boring postcards released by phaidon

Hi,

I'd highly recommend any or all of the following books - in no particular order of priority:

Tom Clancy - Executive Orders
Good book, but the ending is a real cheesy cop-out. And it's long, some 1200 pages.

Soseki Natsumi - I Am A Cat
Three novellas in one, (each about 100 pages), about life, as seen through the eyes of a cat, from his birth to his death. Fun with some good, gentle laughs, but there are some scenes that will make you really angry at how humans treat animals too.

Tove Jansson - Moomin: The Complete Comic Strips: Book 1
and
Tove Jansson - Moomin: The Complete Comic Strips: Book 2
Reprint of the original Moomins comic strip, by Dutch author and creator Ms Tove Jansson. Really great for young or old.

Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged
Set in the 1900's, and set around a series of people who are trying to become the best American Train track operators. Sounds dull, but it's a damn good book. At 1100+ pages, though, with tiny print, it may not be for everyone. Think of "Dallas" (the TV show), but with far more intelligent characters, plot-lines and a better script.

My next book, after I complete "Atlas Shrugged", will be Edward Rutherford - London, which is a novel about London from the Roman Era to Present Day, via a series of different characters.

May I remind some of us of Forum Rule 9:
You must not:
Use images from 3rd parties' websites without their permission. Linking to an image on someone else's website without their permission is considered to be bandwidth theft. This is not a copyright issue but a bandwidth issue. We have had big problems with people linking to our images without permission and we don't allow members to do the same to other people.

So if you could please uplift them to your own sites or onto an image hosting site such as imageshack or photobucket it will save us the job of deleting them and spoiling the fun

Ta!

A bit of a meandering read. I could do with some severe editing. I found that not only did it take rather a long time to get to the point, but that there was way too much sex and violence in the getting there - especially in the first half.

All in all, it's probably not really appropriate reading for impressionable minds.

To quote Stewie Griffin:-

Stewie Griffin [reading the Bible]: My my, what a thumping good read. Lions eating Christians, people nailing each other to two-by-fours. I'll say, you won't find that in Winnie the Pooh.

[Uridium]

Serious one I'm afraid.

Just finished reading "Shantaram" by Gregory Roberts.

an amazing story based on the writer's own life

[Steven]

My flatmates have been reading "Properties of concrete"

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I too would also make a genuine recommendation, but fear a public ribbing... so erm won't
