i read a book on the lyceum theatre for my essay, got quite interesting near the end lol!

now ive finished all my work for this year, ive started reading "nineteen minutes" by jodi picoult, ive read over half of it already and its really good. its about a boy who goes into his high school and shoots and kills 10 people, then it goes back in time so you can sort of understand why he did it. dont really know how the ending is going to be that interesting though, cos normally wth her books it revolves around the court case and if the person is guilty or not, but seeing as we know from the start that the boy shoots them, im looking forward to seeing how she ends it

Yes, I haven't read it yet - don't have time! :(

I was going to wait until it came out in paperback but it was half price so around the same price. :p

I've just bought the second book in the Kathy Reichs series. :D 1p off amazon! (Plus the postage though!)
My next aim is to get the rest of the V.I.Warshawski books. They're pretty cheap too.

I agree, i thought it was really slow starting, the end was good though.

i have just started the blackwater Lightship by Colm Tobin, its really good at the moment.

im currently reading "Life With My Sister Madonna" by Christopher Chiccone.

It's written by Madonna's brother, and it's his memoirs and in it he kind of exposes the real Madonna, and what a bitch she was to him over the years, it's a really gripping read, and if it's true (im sure some is made up) it's made me think of madonna in a whole new light!!!

I have read that.. it is really good book.. I am in 2 minds about it too.. it kinda makes me question Madonna (and I love the woman) but if what her brother has written is true, then you can forget everything you have read about Madonna so far... he said she made up stories to release to the press like moving to New York with like 3 dollars in her pocket is bull ****

I finished the Balckwater lightship, it was good even if a bit depressing and was a bit different as apparently i have seen the film. I was thinking half way through i am sure i have read this before! and then realised.

Now need to find another book to read now. Any suggestions???

I am reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book to read at the moment. It is in a letter format but you soon get used to it.

I am thinking about doing a MSc in Management of Research and Enterprise at Southampton - I will start out just doing the Post Grad Cert first so I guess my reading is going to slow to a stop for a while....

I haven't seen the movie myself, but I think I'll want too after finishing the book.

Go for it Trinity - good luck with it :)

theyre all good. i enjoyed "my sisters keeper", "the pact" and "nineteen minutes" the most though i think. "change of heart" which im reading now is also good. i think the first book i read of hers was "vanishing act"
30-06-2009, 08:25

I agree My Sister's Keeper and Nineteen Minutes are good ones to start with, also Tenth Circle is really good.

finally finished reading "change of heart" by jodi picoult. it was really good and actually really sad by the end. i guessed most of the twist in it though really early on in the book
