    I've just started The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown because my brother reckons it's good. We shall see.

    Kaytee, you're going to have to apologise for your Gatsby slurs

    It's not the best US book, but it's one of them

    It's already a movie (they are doing a remake). Gatsby is played by Robert Redford.

    PN - I love my e-reader, my DH got if for me one year for my birthday. It is fantastic on the train. I often have to stand and can hold this one handed in tight spots

    Hi Ladies. Can actually join this thread now, I have my reading mojo back. Lost it when pregnant with DD1, I struggled back then just to read a magazine article (to be honest I still struggle with magazine, love them, but just skim them).

    Up to Book 9 of the Southern Vampire Mysteries aka Sookie Stackhouse aka True Blood - really enjoying them. I did struggle with the first, as the TV series was pretty much the same, so there was not much suspense there, but since they started to deviate it has been really enjoyable. Knocking through a novel at a rate of 2 a week at the moment and make sure I have the next few on reserve at the library.

    I am going to be at a loss when the series is finished, well at least until book 13 comes out.

    No e reader here either. Bit put off by not really owning the book (didn't Amazon just delete someone's collection??), plus finances as I am just using the library these days. Happy enough to borrow for the moment.

    I read the Marian Keyes Mystery at Mercy Close. I have to say it was not one of her best. I struggled a bit through parts of it. I believe Marian Keyes had a nervous breakdown during the writing of this novel. You can sense that I think when reading. My SIL explained that Marian Keyes has struggled for years with depression. Very sad.

    I am now reading Monica McInerney The House of Memories. Monica McInerney is such a great writer. This is a sad book, still an excellent read.

    I have also finished Reflected in You, this is the second novel by Sylvia Day in her trilolgy. It's called the Crossfire Trilogy. A 50 shades type of book, much better written IMO. Not sure when the third book comes out.

    I download all mine to my computer so I can back them up. I haven't heard of anyone's being deleted but I do try to steer clear of the news as much as possible.
