The 20 Book Challenge (118)
sally101: by coincidence just picked this up today and then saw this thread - but it sounds pretty good.
I just read Q and A - the book which became slumdog millionaire. I'm not a film watcher but might try it now as I enjoyed the book.

Didn't read Q and A but saw the film, well worth watching.
I was in a book shop today and the book that is selling out as soon as it hits the shelves is ........

Probably but I forgot about this thread for a while
I'm reading a 'so called' thriller and I cant wait to finish it to be honest. Will probably finish tonight or in the morning and will post about it then.
The last one I read was brilliant 'Night Train to Lisbon. I posted about it a few posts back and I would highly recommend it.
I see you still haven't read 'Theres Something about Kevin'

Well Vinny, I actually gave that book away and never got it back...still cant get my head around reading it though...strange given my line of work
Have been promised another one in the next few days..my boss has nearly finished it and we are swopping books big time...I just gave her" the girl with the dragon tattoo lol".
The one she is going to give me is "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night time" It is about a kid with Aspergers...have you heard about it?

Yeah I read it M. I really enjoyed it.......found it well written and thoughful. It's written from the mind of someone with Aspergers supposedly.........It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. Its been a while since I read it to be honest.
Just finished the futuristic thriller 'Salvation in Death' by J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts. Set in 2054 or so, its about a female detective and a murder of a priest. Give me Hieronymous Bosch any day
About to start 'The Oh My God Delusion' by Ross O Carroll-Kelly. I read the first chapter a couple of weeks back and found it hilarious.
Catch you soon
When I was last over I bought Ghost Light by Joseph O'Connor...Im three quarters of the way through it now and dont want it to finish....Im savouring it like a melting 99....
Its a delight to read....you have to read it slowly so you dont miss a sentence of O'Connors brilliant writing....I'm loving it...although last night I almost shed a wee tear...a very moving love story....
I cant recommend it highly enough...please read it!.....

Hi C
Saw that for sale recently but was unsure so didn't get it. I will see if I can find it again.
Am reading "Started Early, Took My Dog" by Kate Atkinson. It's very readable and pacy but rather unusual.
Read another Baldacci - "Split Second" - and it was very good. I definitely enjoy his books and will look out for more.
My problem is that I buy books faster than I read them and I always have a tower of them waiting to be read next to my bed. I never, ever finish a book without having another one to pick up soon after. Cork is a great place for 2nd hand and bargain bookshops. I think I would be a rich woman if I didn't buy books but my life would be poorer
" How to Neuter a dog " By Igo Knocka-Bollickoff
trueword: Was not a big fan at all until I got an audio book of his "The Gunslinger" Absolutely loved it, first audio book and he reads it himself, got the rest of them all 7 books 5.5 days listening and am thinking about listening to them this christmas.
Story is about a gunslinger - what else- but it is futuristic and has demons and magic in it, not sure if I would have read it as a book but listening to him read it is truly amazing.

The Gunslinger, part one of The Dark Tower series! Absolutely the best King books around! I fell in love with Roland, the Gunslinger.... (always did like ol cowboys, lol)
