I thought that was a paint colour chart?

Did you see the film based on the Marigold Hotel book? I loved it.

Oh and how did you get on with the fifty shades of grey book?

I was not impressed by the film either.
50 Shades of Grey is still on the bookshelf - will let you know when I have read it. For some reason have not been interested in reading lately.

Have also bought the Kasmiri Shaw!

The Book 'These Funny Things' was brilliant - the film Marigold Hotel did not do the book justice.............in fact I fell asleep half way through the film !!!!

I think that's the problem, once you've read the book any film based on it just isn't the same.

You can't beat a good book

Love a good book.

Anyone know iof there is any truth in the book Shantaram being made into a film? (don;t know how true it is but someone told me today that Johnny Depp is going to be in it) - if true I hope they don;t cxck it up

see "film adaptation" it is accurate, a great shame.

Reading it you'd think it had been organised by GoI not a film studio!

Thanks Bipat, have thoroughly enjoyed this book, might be "fluffy" but this is all I can cope with at the moment.

"The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society." Great book and perfect for the beech. I loved it so much I bought it for two of my friends.

There's a very nice book titled "Goa" by Mr Romesh Bhandari, former Foreign Secretary Govt of India. It gives a complete history of Goa down to the present times. Very nice book.

Cheers

Pleased that you enjoyed it Noni, I am now reading The Thread --Victoria Hislop. Also "fluffy" but also so much recent history of Greece and how they suffered in the last war, worth reading for that.

Thank you so much for suggesting this book. The Bhandari community, as also our own community, were persecuted in Goa and many now live in North Kanara region and Karwar as well as Mumbai etc.
Author has had an amazing life also. I will certainly read his book.
Just looked, it is available on Amazon.

I just read "Ozzie" - autobiography of Ozzy Osbourne............................

" Small Island " . Great book about Jamaicans in the British Army in WW2 and subsequent immigration of those Jamaicans to the UK and the racism they suffered . Really enjoyed it .
