books
 

this has probably been done several times before,but hey i never read it :D


i cant seem to be able to get into anything but true crime or biographies, the more gory the better, but it has to be true, i detest soppy love stories and fiction...give me a book about the kray twins and i'll not put the book down till i've read it all.


what sort of books do you like reading??


:D

Re: books
 

I am reading/and have read lots of Martina Cole. I am reading The know at the moment. This one I think has took me the longest to get into. The others I have read Two Women, Faceless, Dangerous Lady, Maura's Game have been very easy to get into, and I just can't put them down when until I have finished.But this one was slow going to begin with - Just started getting interesting now to the point where I lie awake at night, looking at the clock thinking ' Just one more chapter'............' oh just one more' :D:D

Re: books
 

Anything and everything!!! :D :D

Re: books
 

Yes by me here :p

LOL! I'm giving you the link as there's lots of good suggestions in there. As slinky has said the Martina Cole books are excellent which came recommended to me in that thread by mez, I then recommended them to slinky (talking of which sis I think you still have one of mez's books) and she's hooked :)

As for me I always ask you for recommendations and usually you have some good ones .... though the last books you lent me were crap! :p :D

Re: books
 

Yeah I do still have that book Tinks. Was first one I read.....then i started buying my own off the market.....excellent books

Re: books
 

My favourite novel is The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
I have quite a wide taste in books, I love Jeffrey Archer's fiction novels and will read anything by Stephen King.


ps shouldn't this be in general chat? seems a serious enough thread to me.

Re: books
 

I have just read 'The Island' by Victoria Hislop, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I usually get through two or three books per week, the one that I found the hardest read was Sophie's World.....it is not a very thick book, but it is very, how shall I put it...... metaphysical. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it, but I was certainly educated about the world of philosophers by the time I had read it.
I don't think it would qualify for a 'summer read' with Richard and Judy.

Re: books
 

has anyone read the bible

this book has been a big influence on my life and i try to follow its teachings in everythig i do and i like nothing better than sitting down and reading a few psalms before i lay my head to sleep :)



obviously my edition has a lot of misprints in it :D

Re: books
 

Am a big kid at the moment and am reading The Chronicles Of Narnia (again...) Love autobiographies, just finished Peter Kay's and before that Little Britain (both very funny). I like Wendy Holden, Jackie Collins, some James Patterson, Philip Pullman and I defy anyone to know more about the Harry Potter books than I do.

And in answer to your question Chav, yes I have read the Bible, probably not the same version as you though, lol.

Re: books

Re: books

Pretty easy to echo!

Re: books
 

I was asking Tinks when the New Harry potter book is out cos i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: books
 

The new Harry Potter (Harry Potter and the Daethly Hallows) book hasn't yet got a release date :( but there are rumours that it with be 7th July. (7th book on 07/07/07, gerrit!!) It is currently the number 1 book on Amazon even though nobody knows what date it will finally be released. The new film however will be released on 13th July 2007. Yippee!!!

Re: books
 

I would never watch a film before I read the book...........I enjoy reading better than watching it on T.V. I think it's because I have a great Imagination and on T.V it's just there!!!! no Imagination.

I can't wait for the book........and July isn't soon enough :mad:

Re: books
 

I totally agree Slinks I much prefer reading to the film/TV versions. Da Vinci Code, The Lion, Witch & The Wardrobe, Trainspotting, Fever Pitch, Bridget Jones etc..... I'm now trying to think of a time I prefered the film. Still love the Harry Potter films, though I do prefer the books.

Re: books
 

Angela's ash's has got to be the one film that stuck in my mind for being the worse film ever.

The book had me in tears, and I loved the book. But god I was very VERY disappointed, it missed too much of the story out, and the best bits at that.:mad:

Re: books
 

The worst film adaption has got to be Flowers in the Attic! Such a suberb book I'm sure they could have made a good film from it but it was so badly made. It was low budget, terrible acting didn't capture the feeling of the book in any way. A total disappointment. :(

Re: books
 

pmsfl, i'll have to agree with ya on that one yee, it was complete crap

Re: books
 

Sahara - film was rubbish - book by clive cussler was good. I watched the film with someone who hadnt read the book and she thought it was a good film. Said it wasnt as good as the book - the film missed out loads of what was in the book. Dont like the Jack Ryan films either well except for the 1st one they did - hunt for the red october and i saw the film then read the book.

Re: books
 

Definately - especially when you get to the ingredients - try saying them when your sober never mind drunk!!!! :D

The only bit that does bother me is when they advise you not to drink alcohol with them.

Re: books
 

Ok just tried saying some of the ingrediants after having a few and flippin eck you're right, we had a laugh though :D

Re: books
 

The new Harry Potter will be released Saturday 21st July. It has been announced today!! Yippee!!:D

Re: books
 

I really hope not, but I do think she will. To stop herself from writing anymore. All we know is that the last word in the book is "SCAR"
