Re: Book Club: Suite Francaise


Have to agree that movie of the book is usually quite a let down for me too.

Haven't seen 'bones', but didn't know it was based on the KR books.

Secret Scripture was on the bookshop 'read it today' list. Had a quick look at some reviews and thought it would be a good read.

ST, sounds as if we have similar tastes in sci fi and fantasy, however I do love police procedurals and psychological suspense also...and I obviously read a lot too!

Re: Book Club: Suite Francaise


I forgot to mention my other love is historical ficition - Drothy Dunnet's (sadly passed away now) wonderfully researched books had me glued. Both in the reading and in the following up on the history...

I (admitting this with some embarassment) adored Dan Browns books especially Da Vinci Code.

Re: Book Club: Suite Francaise


I'm not really big on historical fiction, but I did love Ellis Peters Brother Caedfel books (not the TV series!), and the Da Vinci code also. And any fiction about ancient Greece and Egypt. Also Pearl Buck's China novels (Good Earth). Does anyone still read her?

Forgot to mention Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody books!
