Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
Once again i'm not sure if there is already a thread about this but i'm sure the mods will move it for me if there is.
I love a good read and have loads of books of all types. I wondered what everybody was reading at the moment? Bonny x |

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
Good thread and one I was thinking about creating a few days ago.
I read quite a lot and have always enjoyed it, ever since I was a little lad. However, I was looking at a list of the top 100 books of all time and I realised that I'd only read 21 of the books on the list!! Now I know these lists are flawed and this one wasn't really up to much, but it made me want to read a few more 'classics', so that's what I've been doing over the last couple of weeks. I've recently just finished reading The Great Gatsby , which I really enjoyed and I have been reading Frankenstein for the last couple of nights. So far, so good.  |

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
For some strange reason I fell out with reading not read since last Autumn. Have probably 20 or so books waiting to be read various authors (donated by me neighbour) Into Stephen King myself, most recent read of his was The Drawing of the Three. Second book in his Dark Tower Series, liked it so bought the rest of the series on Accy market, not read them tho.
Last book I actually read was by Dean Koontz, By The Light of the Moon…..I really have to start reading again, maybe when winter starts to kick in.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
Some good reads there, even the Enid Blighton lol.
I have to say though, that for some reason I dont like Stephen Kings style. I have read the Lisey's Story one, but when it first came out and cant for the life of me remember much about it. Ive got quite a few of his books but I have given up on them now and don't think i will bother reading any more by him. Even though he is so popular and I know he spins a really good story but its his style that bugs me a little. Have you got many of his Margaret? I am of the same bent as Flashy, I like the true crime and psychology books and have quite a few myself. I had compiled some lists with a view to selling some of my books, but when it came to the crunch, i couldnt part with them. Bonny x |
