I'm nearly at the end of The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. It's a good thriller that I've really enjoyed.

What's floating your boat, book wise at the moment ?

Is that code for a mucky book?

Or real corset ripping romance? With heaving bosoms?

If you like heartachy historical romance with feisty (but realistic) and cynical but ultimately loving men - go Judith McNaught.

Titles to start with:

Something Wonderful

Kingdom of Dreams

Almost Heaven.

They are as trashy and gorgeous as they sound! Absolutely delightful!

Thank you! I've just googled those and realised that I've read one of hers already. Whitney my Love. Will be sure to try some of her other titles.

Ha ha! No way! That's a really highly acclaimed title of hers, but I never got into it myself. Think it's cos I read a load of her other ones first.

I've just finished that and really enjoyed it. Now reading The Girl in the Spider's Web, it's a follow on from the trilogy, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Steig Larsson. Obviously by a different author, as Larsson has died, but it follows the original characters, enjoying it!

If you're interested in hedonistic philosophy read an actual philosopher-it is much more interesting. I would suggest pre-utilitarian philosophers.

Ah, Bioshock! That explains it.

Don't expect too much of the book. It's pretty awful, and that's coming from a fellow atheist.

" A Sport and a Pastime" by James Salter. Fascinating book about an American living in 1950s France, having a love affair with a French girl; written through the eyes of a narrator who is definately wierd .

" Jupiters Travels" Ted Simon; written about his round the world motorbike Trip in the 1960s; years before the idiots " Ewan and Charlie" did " The long way round" nonsense.

And ee cummings' erotic poems ...

"The Plot Against America - Philip Roth..

Brilliant! Charles Lindbergh defeats F D Roosevelt to become President in 1940.. He's a Nazi sympathiser.. All hell breaks loose - it would make a great film!"

I thought so too, but I found the denouement a little too obvious - mind you I did read it ten years ago so maybe I need to revisit.

I like many of Ben Elton's books! Not so much his very early books - but his satirical books evolved really well - as are the 'social commentary ' books! My favourite book of his was Two Brothers though - a completely different genre for him!
