Thatollie, is this your first time reading Misery? If it is, I'm jealous, I'd just love to approach that book for the first time again. Hope you enjoy it!
It is my first time reading it, unfortunately I'm not enjoying it, nothing has really happened so far [I'm 80 pages in, one reading and left it to read something else, same thing happened with the Le Carre book.]

EDIT: I'm enjoying a book I picked up today, "Written lives" by Javier Marias.

Michael Crichton - Timeline
John Twelve Hawks - The Traveller

Timeline passed through our house a few months back.  An interesting and enjoyable book.

Plea of Insanity by Jilliane Hoffman

I read her first two books which were really quite good but I'm finding it hard to get into this one. It's a steady read as opposed to a read-in-one-sitting like Broken Angels by Richard Montanari which I finished just before. His Kevin Byrne series is fantastic.

Unfortunately with night feeds draining my brain the most I can manage at the moment is girly books, Carole Matthews being a favourite. At least I can pick them up and just read a few pages before I give in to the land of zeds. (zzzzz)

I am reading anything about Heard Island, if anyone nows a web site I haven't found or suggestions on a book please let me know. And reading anything about Dinosaurs this pertains to my first book. I'm almost done.

Regarding 'Ulysses', the American humourist James Thurber became blind later in life, and arranged to have someone read 'Ulysses' to him.  Apparently the woman became so fed up she threw the book across the room!   ;D

So no, I've never tried reading it - and don't intend to!   :D

"What am I reading? You tell me...

  Laborers in california's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can. Living a hand-to-mouth existence."



Dunno...Grapes of Wrath (which I've never read as I can get depressed all by myself   :-[ )?

Just finished Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. I quite liked it.
Though I've resigned myself to reading my own rebellious work for now.

Today has been hell. :(

hehe "of mice and men" is it?

School coursework looming back from the depths of my mind.

And if anyone wants to know I'm feeling a good deal better about today now. Ahh the therapy of gossiping with the gals.
