What book are you reading at the moment?

I just started Wilbur Smith's The Triumph of the Sun last night. To early to say, but it started with a bang, so it must be good. I am a huge fan of his

Read The Face, by Dean Koontz - if you liked his writing style, that is one to look out for.

Lil Chookie - I agree with you in regards to the ending of My Sisters Keeper... it was almost like she was really tired and needed to hurry it up so she could go off to bed!

I read a stack of really good ones last year - Just finished a book that everyone keeps recommending to me - 'The Pilots Wife'.... well, can I just say.... yaaaaawn!!!

Won't be recommending that to anyone, it was just too slow and drawn out!

Have just started a bio 'In My Skin' by Kate Holden (Australian girl who was a heroin addict and prostitute)... have only just started it for my book group, but some of the other ladies that are almost finished have said its incredibly descriptive and raw.... One of the 'straighter' ladies has said she's had to put it down a few times and go back to it!!!
Have only just started though, so I'll let you know how it goes

Sarah - If you're into bio's at the moment, you could try 'A Million Little Pieces' by James Frey - His book was the one that started the big controversy on Oprah a couple of yrs ago - Its also about drug, alcohol & substance addiction.

Its very full on and very raw - Very heavy, but I think well worth the read... I also think if they made high school students read it, its that confronting that it could very well deter more than a few teenagers to try drugs...

Have also just bought 'No Country For Old Men', which I'll read over the next week before I see the movie, as I think its the front runner for best pic at the Oscars this year!

If anyone needs anything recommended, just let me know
