What's the verdict on these? Bit curious about them.

I love them so far. The first book was pretty good, I'm only thirty odd pages into the second one.

A Clash of Kings..2nd Game of Thrones book..I would definitely reccommend it! Started watching the series a few weeks ago, and I was hooked straight away so once I had finished I bought every book and working my way through them..they're fairly big but worth the read!

Same here, yeah they are big books but you so fast to read. I'm about 300 pages on and started it a few days ago.

Just picked up critical mass - How one thing leads to another by philip ball.It is about 'ideas and insights on its quest for a science of society'.

Looking forward to reading it. Seems like a good nonfiction book although not something i would normally go for.

I am almost finished reading Snakes in Suits. It was recommended to me so I purchased but left in my bookcase until recently.

Talk about an eye-opener as to how people are going where they are in the work environs; getting away with what they are and generally how well people are able to manipulate and pull the wool over their supervisors eyes hassle-free and with the suprvisor being blind-sided and ignorant to what's happening in their group! :eek: Massive Read for me & I am sorry I didn't read this in full earlier.

Oh how I'd love for more people to read this book and not to find themselves in situations with two-faced, nasty individuals like I have.

I can't put it down! I've about a third left and I'll probably finish it tonight. Children will be neglected once again :P

I'm glad I read it while I was writing my Master's thesis and thus feeling a bit sorry for myself: helped put things in perspective! And I'm sure your kids are enjoying their temporary freedom...

How To Lie With Statistics. It's really good, very entertaining and informative.

Read 3 books on hols,

Iron house 5 stars John hart Would reccomend !!!! It's brilliant.
Still missing 4 stars Chevy Stevens. It's good if you like crime novels.
Lost river 3 stars Stephen booth. Can get boring in parts.

Finished the 1st book in the Dexter series this morning and then went into town to buy the 2nd one but none of the bookstores had it....am gonna have ta wait nearly a week to get it now

Currently about a quarter of the way through Life, Keith Richard's autobiography written with James Fox. Many of the stories he tells about their early days are great for getting an insight into the humble beginnings of the band, living together in a freezing London hovel, the kitchen piled high with dirty crockery that no one dared tackle - very Withnail & I.

Keef really seems to have been taken aback by how quickly they suddenly started making an impact, in a matter of weeks the buzz from their performances in the Crawdaddy club in Richmond meant that everywhere they went they were met by legions of screaming teenage girls - a pretty unexpected experience for a bunch of guys, who although they were not adverse to making money & getting laid basically just wanted to play the blues. In one paragraph (which I suspect may be slightly embellished as it's just too good a line) on an early concert after they had started making an impact Richards tells of returning to the stage of a venue after the gig was over & meeting a janitor sweeping up, who remarked casually that it had been "a very good show tonight - not a dry seat in the house" !!!

Overall pretty good so far, one to check out for fans of one of the 20th century's greatest bands.
