Seems promising

i saw that some day ago and i was tempet to buy it, but Dan Brown doesn't deserve 19€

You don't need to pay 19€ to read a book, there are many ways to do so like libraries etc and all that

If you wait a couple of months you'll be able to get it from a Charity Shop for very little and have the warm glow of doing good.

I don't think Mr Brown will miss the lost royalties either.

Hiya

Just wanted to say that I often follow up on recommendations I see through this forum - on all sorts of cultural things, not just music - and on your 4 line summary I was tempted to borrow this from my library. I am probably only 1/3rd way through and I have to say it is FANTASTIC. The most I've enjoyed a book since the Millennium series. When the first section stopped mid-sentence, I did have a WTF moment, but I trusted it and pressed on - very rewarding.

It really is great isn't it?

There's several times throughout the book that I questioned what had just happened but it's so subliminally written that it just flows into your mind.

I didn't think it would be the kind of book I like but I have to say it's in my top 10 of all time. And that's saying something.

Currently reading the best B-Day present that had just arrived on the mail today!
Noel Fielding's "The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton"! Woohoo!

Being a real goff with the original Dracula book.
An edition I spent £16 bluumin quid on.

it was a few years ago, but i remember that reading Stoker's "Dracula" as quite entertaining and enjoyable. nothing gooffy. but stupid marketing slogan ("sex, blood and" something else) convinced my teacher to say: "you shouldn't (or even without 'shouldn't) read that".

There are three copies of Dracula in our house. The one Kerry owned before we met, the one I owned before we met, and an illustrated special edition hardback.

Goths, us?

As a friend said to me the other day, "wearing a Hawaiian shirt doesn't make you not a goth Mark, people just think 'Ooh look, a goth in a Hawaiian shirt!'"

Just started this little beauty.....

F.G. Burnaby - A ride to Khiva. My travels and adventures in Central Asia. More than great written book, highly recommended, not only if you're interested in Russia and Central Asia region.

After watching Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on Channel 4 last night, I'm going to start reading the book.

Colin Thubron - The lost heart of Asia.

After i've read one chapter of book mentioned in post above, i have to gave up readding it. strange thing, i just don't believe in that report/story. and book, after 70 pages is a bit dull. well, maybe later i'll try to read another chapter and see how it will be.

now: The Good Soldier Švejk by Jaroslav Hašek

I'm going to try to start The Glass Bead Game again. Tried twice before and never got past the introduction. If I can't get into it this time it's going to a charity shop.

I just saw it in the local supermarket for £3.80 and felt compelled.
I'll happily pass it on when finished.
Iz - You first?
