[Kazz]

What was the last or present book you have read and would you reccomend it?

[Moli]

I am on the 3rd book, by Jessie Smith, she was a Scottish Traveller..They are really good...

I'm re-reading English Passengers by Matthew Kneale. Think it won the Whitbread prize a few years back.
I'd recommend it wholeheartedly to anybody. It has so many elements - adventure; smuggling; sea-faring; treachery; history; geology; religion. Really really good. I read it much too quickly first time (a great failing of mine - want to find out what happens at the end, so don't read slowly enough) so I'm having a liesurely re-read!

I have recently read Touching from a Distance, its about Ian Curtis and Joy Division and was written by his wife Deborah Curtis. Quite good but not brilliant. A good read if you are/were a fan of Joy Division or New Order.

[Elaine]

KO and Yola, if either of you want to read this book, I can post it to one of you and when you have read it you can pass it on to the other if you like???;)

[Kazz]

As I started this thread I better reply;)

My present book is "History" sad eh.:roll:


Elizabeth the Queen a biography on Queen Elizabeth I by Alison Weir well worth the time to read read, a history of Elizabeth's personal life within the framework of her reign. This book gives an insight a human touch to a biography of a woman hardly allowed a private life.

Mind you I enjoy history :D And this may not suit everyone.

I recently read Desert Royal by Jean Sasson it is a very fascinating insight into a part of the Saudi Royal family told to the author by one of its princesses. Not everyones cup of tea but I enjoyed it.

[Booktigger]

I finished a Jeffrey Deaver book earlier and am just starting on a Jonathan Kellerman book - both titles escape me though!! Have read a few books this week, a Ramsey Campbell and Shaun Hutson.

[dandysmom]

I mentioned Elizabeth Peters in my earlier post: I'm reading her latest: Tomb of the Golden Bird now; before that was The Labyrinth. Picked up at the library today: The Oxford Murders & The Last Templar. Any Robin Cooks are good. Booktigger, forgive me if you already know this, but you can go on Amazon & check out any book you might be interested in & read reviews & customer ratings. I do this all the time when I hear of a book or author that I think I might like ...I used to hate it pre Web days when I would get a book from the library on the basis of the jacket blurb & discover when I got it home that I didn't like it!!! :roll:
