Read any good books lately

Here is where you discuss everything under the sun, just keep it clean.

You know I like that idea. But I'm afraid I do like to go back and read a good book later. Be it a year, two years, ten years down the line. That's why my bookcase overfloweth. :roll:
It may be time to get ruthless.

I read Divorcing Jack by Colin Bateman last year. Anyone?
A surprisingly wonderful book. Made into a film apparently. Which I then watched and thought was great.
It's about a Belfast journalist who gets caught up in the 'troubles'. For a dark subject matter, it's bloody funny.
Everybody should believe in something.
I believe I'll have another coffee!

I used to commute an hour, I discovered Books on CD; I bought C.S. Lewis(Lion Witch & Wardrobe, Last Battle for my daughter), and My Life as a Geisha, and a few others by Tom Clancy (Hunt for Red October, Power Play). I loved them! But I found driving in heavy traffic was not a good idea, too distracting. So I used them right before I went to sleep. My brother was hospitilized, so I gave them to him to used while he was in ICU. Great by pool, or at the beach!
