Bertiebear, I met the same author and bought the book, but not read it yet.

The more I read it, the more I like it It keeps getting better. Happy reading LazyD!

I have managed to get through 3 books in as many weeks! Must be something to do with being a lady of leisure nowadays..

Anyway, Michael MacIntyres autobiography, fairly enjoyable and quite touching in parts. Still find it strange that such a young guy has written his autobigraphy.

Another autobigraphy, Stephen Fry, The Fry chronicles. Again enjoyable, but quite hard work in parts. Definitely one to read when there is plenty of time available.

Italian Verb Drills by Paula Nonni Tate. Don't ask.

An Idiot Abroad - Ricky Gervais & Karl Pilkerton (excuse spelling)
really funny.

[BertieBear]

Haven't read that one.

Grumpy old rock star - Rick Wake-man is funny,
More serious reads to try The Psychopath test, and Them by Jon Ronson

It's brill; Cheryl , after first couple of pages, it's very intriguing .

I love to read, I like Martina Cole (I do think her earlier stuff Lady killer,Goodnight Lady and the runaway were her best) She is great for a book you can't put down but they are fairly graphic and violent.
I love Jodi Piccoult my fave book of hers is my sisters keeper but all of hers are great.
Marian Keyes Brightest star in the sky is a lovely book and if you want to laugh and cry Cecilia Aherns P.s I love you is perfect (The film doesn't touch the book) I could go on forever as I love to read but thats enough for now

Sarah,
I have just been given a Martina Cole book ," Lady Killer", never read her books before , they sound
good.
Another book I seen recently is Sue Johnston "Things I could'nt tell my mother"( waking the dead fame) read first page in
shop, all about caring for her mother first line Enna Sharples once said about her mother dying.
quote "she sat up, broke wind and died" , she then talks about her own mum, and herself after that.
It looks good , I'm going to get it.

yes Alan Sugar's autobiography, "What you see is what you get" very very good, and quite funny.

Quite good too is Michael Cain's autobiography, "The Elephant to Hollywood"
Our local paper ran a competition, the prize was a copy of a book by a local author, Stewart Binns, about 1066 called "Conquest" it was great, if you like historical stories.
Then I read a book by one of my favorite authors, Harlan Coben, called "Play Dead". It was one of his early books and was a bit confusing at times, but a good read never the less.

I am reading "The Last Fighting Tommy" now, it's pretty good.

I have just picked up a copy of a book by one of my other favorite authors, Conn Iggulden, "Empire of Silver". He writes stories about Genghis Khan.

That explains were the summer has gone and why certain things, in the garden, didn't get done this year.
