I finished "Cardiff Dead" by John Williams, and it was so good! It's abt a ska band that did a hit in the 80's and then split. They meet again 20 years later after the death of one member of the band. You can feel music, and love, but like in real life, not silly romance! And Cardiff... God you can feel Wales in that book! It's also a bit of a polar, but not too much (I don't like polars)

Just finished About A Boy by Nick Hornby. I've been waiting for the book to NOT be on loan at the library for a couple of years. It's *that* popular. [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] Great book. Hornby is awesome. |

The State of Democratic Theory by Ian Shapiro for the second time (it takes a goodcouple read-throughs, for me anyway) I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic. It touches on a lot of general issues that'll get your mind working about specifics.Edited by: cneill

frank miller is generally really good, all of those daredevil issues are pure gold. the dark knight returns is an excellent read (i'd recommend it to anybody), its one of the best books from the 80's its up there withwatchmen and the rest, the sequel, thedark knight strikes back was a bit dissapointing though (thats just my opinion though) |

Really liking it. The first Batman I've ever read, prior to this my only exposure to the character was the films and the Adam West TV show. I see now that the films (the first 2 anyway) were not really as great a leap in attitude as I had thought.
I promise I'll read a proper book next and write about it. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Another one? We'll have to start a Dan Browne eskimo fan club.
I bought Angels and Demons yesterday, I'll probably start it tomorrow. The first chapter of it was at the end of the Da Vinci code and it looked pretty good.

there's a movie yeah, but the book is completely different, different story line and everything yet there are a few similarities to be found.

Its good, but there are parts of it that were so incredibly annoying I wanted to throw it against the wall.

aaaargh that book....i started it a while back and just found it really taxing!! the vocabulary is nuts and having not seen the film apart from when i was half asleep, doesn't make it any easier....i started to get accustomed to the vocab though so maybe i'll go back and give it another go |

I think I'm just about to give up on a book, but then it'll either be Oryx&Crake, Leaves of Grass or Bel Canto (again).

I've just been on holidays so i've read loads recently.
I actually just finished Star of the Sea today. I didnt really like it, i thought it was a bit pretentious or something at times. Unfortunatly, as i hadnt slept in severel nights, I didnt understand the ending fully. If some eskimo could kindly tel me what the deal was with the end it would muchly relieve my poor brain, addled by sleep deprivation and sea sicknes
