In the middle of The Da Vinci Code right now. Before I started reading it, I assumed it was just a summery of facts, myths, ect. But it's a fictional story, and a very interesting one at that. So far, a great book :)

AWESOME BOOK. NOTHING MORE TO SAY

right on ! enjoy !

after that - start looking for Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds. If you cant find it - let me know.

I think I may have heard some of that years ago when I was wee nipper. I may be thinking of the wrong thing but was there a song called 'Forever Autumn'? Will look into it.

Only about a third of the way through War o Worlds but Im really enjoying it. Surprised how fast paced it is, the short chapters are quite punchy and it hasnt let up yet.

Its made me think of other old books that I may have taken for granted such as Jules Verne '20,000 leagues Under the Sea' or 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'. Anyone know if these are worth looking at? Or any other suggestions for overlooked classics?

The Thin Place


strange and disjointed novel - but i'm enjoying it very much. . . one reviewer on amazon called it "Stephen King meets Kafka" - that pretty much sums it up with a good dose of "to kill a mockingbird" thrown in.

Just finished the H.G. Wells classic War of the Worlds.

Would recommend this book to everyone, its one of those stories I have always taken for granted, thanks in part to the films, but Im really glad Ive gotten to read it. (cheers urgeok)

Surprised how little the films reflect the book but at least the Spielberg version, on occasion, nods in the general direction of the book. Im thinking the red weed, some similarities with the curate and Tim Robbins character and the tripods carrying cages for captured humans. Whatever you do, dont be like me and assume that because you've seen both films numerous times you know the book.

Read this book people and enjoy!

Kafka books used to drive me insane.. It took me forever to finish The Castle because I hated the main character.

i would recommend the thin place - the characters are more sympathetic and coherent - although there are a lot of them (and we even see from the point of view of beavers and moose and dogs) - but the book has been enjoyable thus far (i'm about 50 pages from the end)

I'm reading "Vrolok" which is by a new author Nolene-Patricia Dougan. It is totally fantastic! I can't wait for her next book. Anyone else read it yet? If not you definitely should, it takes the Vampire horror to a whole new level :D
