I think it's the Outlander series if I remember correctly. I have seen a few people comment on them but have never read any myself and then they fell off my radar and I forgot about them. I do like a weighty tome though, I feel like a get value for money from them (must be the Scottish part of me ). I think I'll add the first to my extremely lengthy list of books that sooner or later I'll buy when my ship comes in!

Try E bay...you can pick them up fairly cheaply on there...get a few in the same satchel and you wont lose out on postage

I think you're correct...Outlander...that sounds familure

We Need to Talk about Kevin and The Post Birthday World both written by Lionel Shriver
Anything by James Patterson

Just started Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles - 1st up - Interview with a Vampire. I my NOOK !

Just finished reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer (the Twilight series author)

Lovely thick book .. bizarre story, but very readable.

No vampires or werewolves included.

Briefly - Earth has been invaded (in the past) and its citizens now have alien parasites - 'Souls' - which inhabit their bodies. Usually, when the Soul takes control, the human host is completely lost, but a Soul called Wanderer has to contend with Melanie, a stroppy human presence who almost drives her mad with memories and attitude. These memories drive Wanderer to an intense situation far outside her comfort zone.

Sounds weird, I know, and its not the horror story it sounds like, but a story of relationships and emotional development in a crazy mixed up world.

Like the sound of that. Might just get myself a copy.

Have started reading '1000 years of annoying the french' by Stephen clarke,so far it's very very funny

I was thinking about adding that to my wish list - I'll wait and see what you think when you get to the end of it before I do though

Don't wait just go for it,it really is soooo well written and can't imagine it being a bid seller in France,really takes the trueful piss

Okeydokes, it's on my list! Now I just need someone to give me a job so I can finance my habit! Just sent a heap of applications off, so fingers crossed!

I'll get that pile of Bryce Courtenay's off to you soon - just waiting for things to get back to normal a bit "üp north"

...and don't be sending up my Bryce book.

It's a helluva long chase.

Thanks I sort of noticed you'd been just a tad busy over the last couple of weeks

Kept me off the streets for a while, thats true

Well I wasn't going to mention your secret double life ....
