I've had the Kite Runner for months and never got round to reading it - is it any good?
Yeah, I read it a while ago but it stuck with me

Hubbys side of bed Dick Frances latest 'under orders; and Jeffrey Deaver ' false impression'.

Mine- don't read before sleep too tired, but reading Sole survivor by Derek Hanson and Morality for beautiful girls by Alexander McCall Smith - both started when on recce in April!
When do you have time to read? This forum /arcade/work/housework/walking dog/cooking???no time!
I end up taking my books on holiday and reading them non stop then. A weeks holiday in Scotland in August this summer rain? should get 2 books read at least

Okay, obviously James Patterson's Cross (got Kerry W addicted to them) and can't wait for Harry Potter as well.

Haven't read anything really good for awhile though.

Anybody read Tales from Earthsea?
It seems to be very much like Harry Potter.
Except it was written in the early 60's

Have read all of Koontz that Porirua library has! Need something to fill the time until HP day on 21st.

Also enjoyed the Pullman trilogy - see they're going to try and spoil that with a film now too!

Captain Corelli's Mandolin - The film was amazing, the book was good but the ending was better in the film.

BTW only the old folk call them 'films' over here - its all 'movies'!!
