Currently "Dictator" by Robert Harris. I'm putting it off because it's the third part in a trilogy, he spent years writing it, and now I can't remember how the last one finished.

I keep meaning to look up a synopsis on Wikipedia.

Just read 'Deviant' by Veronica Roth and now ready to scour the charity shops for 'Insurgent' and 'Allegiant'

Also started the second GOT book 'Clash of Kings' but that will be the toilet/bath read as it's a hefty tome.

I'm about to finish The Crow Road by Iain Banks.

I have a mountain of books to read next, and even more that I want to buy.

A fantasy meet/date scenario would be browsing a bookshop, second hand ones are wonderful, and having stolen kisses against the bookshelves.

The Crow Road is excellent.

They are a bit long winded, not something I could read hours on end, I was doing ok until I got to part 2 of this book and I've totally lost interest. Think this one is classed as book 5 but I bought it in 2 parts and I think book 3 was in 2 parts as well. Hoping to pick them back up when I have more time to focus on the back ground stories

"Currently "Dictator" by Robert Harris. I'm putting it off because it's the third part in a trilogy, he spent years writing it, and now I can't remember how the last one finished.

I keep meaning to look up a synopsis on Wikipedia.

Mr ddc

Read it as it is a very good read"

It really is, isn't it.

I still find it fascinating that we know so much about people from 2000 years ago.

(no plot spoilers pls, I'm only halfway: I wonder whether that Julius Caesar bloke will get his comeuppance )

"I've just finished Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee. It's SF and quite strange and quite wonderful. Id recommend it to anyone especially fans of Iain Banks. I've now got the stress of choosing my next book..."

Cheeta-just put that in my basket

I have to admit that some of the seriousness has been ruined by the fact that I can't help picturing Cato as Burt Kwouk

{as Julius Caesar}

"Not now, Cato, I know you're hiding in Africa with 5 legions and a bunch of Numidian barbarians"

Loved that book, wonder what the film will be like, sometimes they're a disappointment.

There and to the left a bit

Blooming loads right now,I used to get through a book a week when I commuted every day, but since I now mostly work from home have yet to find a good "reading time" to sit down and get my nose into something...currently working my way through Ben Elton's "Two Brothers" and then have the new Peter James lined up next.

It is. Film was alright, not a patch on the book though.

The book was ok. Don't really see what all the fuss is about.

I'm currently waiting for the new Norse mythology book by Neil Gaiman and the chance to fan girl all over him at the signing. Rereading The Night Circus as it's a suitably autumnal book and so evocative.
