Film got awful reviews here...honestly speaking I kinda knew that it is impossible to make a movie out of that book...

I suspect the same thing... Thought the same with Yes Man, and was right, the book is hilarious and well worth a read if you haven't already, but the film was pants.... Still, I'll probably see Time Traveller's anyway...

I am not saying I won't see it...but I suspected it may not be very good...but I have never thought of this...book is written with beautiful words...you don't need any visuals...movie HAS TO have visuals...it HAS TO show love...which apparently shows in some places as somewhat...ahem...pedophilian...

[MeatGrl1]

There does not seem to be a topic on this, I have just looked but forgive me if I've missed it :oops: !! So what are we currently reading ?

I'm reading Michael Jackson's Moonwalk

I'm really hooked, I've laughed out loud and I'm finding it really fascinating how he started and personally I find it really interesting, but obviously won't appeal to everyone but I can't put it down, every spare moment I have I read a bit more :cool:.

[duke knooby]

i reckon that would fit nicely in the "what are you reading right now thread"

however... its from soooooooooooo long ago you'd have risked infraction points posting in it :twisted:

lol

[MeatGrl1]

Wouldn't want that :lol:, and I couldn't find it.. Sorry feel free to merge :oops: !!

i jokingly refer to it as "the Bible" ... you know... the adventures of the Sex God of RockNRoll ... lol ...

your mentioning it brings back the memory of my first read... my husband picked up copies of it and StoryTellers cds for my friend Donna and me ... and when at the store ... Tower Records... he saw a notice... that Meat would be at one of their outlets within the week for a book signing ! ... clear out of nowhere !!! ... lol ... if he hadn't seen it i would never have known as i hadn't yet been introduced to the wonderful world of the internet... lol ...

i finished up the book the morning of the signing ... and... got it signed !! ... yeah ... what a memorable day that was... thanks for allowing me to remember... and share !!!

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Brilliant!!!

[Sue K]

i'm still reading ... Bones ...

[allrevvedup]

Love all the people...it's a book featuring interviews and the standup act of Bill Hicks.

Very very funny, the man was incredible in a lot of ways and i'm sorry that it took so long for me to notice his talent. I'm also sorry that I used to like Denis Leary because he just ripped off Hicks to the nth degree.

[allrevvedup]

The Official History of MI5 ... I'd tell you what it was about but I'd have to shoot you afterwards :))

long as it's not as dull as Spycatcher...that's a week of my life i'll never get back

[AndyK]

long as it's not as dull as Spycatcher...that's a week of my life i'll never get back


Depends what you count as dull .. it's packed with facts and figures and dates and such like, but gives an interesting insight into UK and world history over the period it covers.

[allrevvedup]

i tried to find Spycatcher interesting, given the fact that it was incredibly controversial when it came out, in 1987 i think?.

I read it when I was a journalism student as it was recommended by one of our tutors as essential reading.

Suffice to say I did and normally the spy game and hisotry would appeal to me, but it seemed to try to suck the life out of the reader, maybe hoping no one else would remember any revelations from it!

[K1ttycat]

I trying to read "Under the Dome" but I just can't get into all of the characters...too many to keep track of...lol...

[dottie]

Clive Cussler - Spartan Gold

[Sue K]

now i'm reading Bridget Jones' Diary ... i'm finding it very entertaining... been there done that yeeeears ago ... lol ... it's reminding me of my early years ... single ... and working in an office ... oh ... the funny things we worried about then ... lol ... that too shall pass... lol ...

Bridget Jones .. The Edge Of Reason ... by Helen Fielding ... still ...

the thought occurred to me the other morning that both this and Bridget Jones's Diary should be must-read for teens before they're out of high school ... or the equivilent of HS in the rest of the world ... both BOOKS feel to me like books on "how to be friends" ... and "how not to treat women" ... and "men and women can be friends and lovers" ... and the rest of it ... funny and insightful books ... DEFinately funny ... lol ...

of course i'm also of the thought young children should be made to watch Our Gang films to learn about race relationships ... OH AND ... The Little Colonel starring Shirley Temple as well ... :-) ...

[Hypnobabe]

Pride and Prejudice by Ms. Jane Austen

May I quote this very funny little scene between Mr. Bennet and his missus:

Mrs. Bennet: "You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves."
Mr. Bennet: "You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least."

I love Jane Austen, there was another similarly funny scene in Sense and Sensibility when she described how a mother spoils her little girl with marmalade every time she gets mad. Wonderful.

thanks for those bits Bubbles... i haven't a clue why but i was never "forced" to read the classics in school !! ... all i really remember was trying to decipher Shakespeare ! ... lol ... not good at it was i i'm afraid... lol ... i think the best time in English class i had may have been in ... hmmm ... 9th grade maybe ?? ... Basil Douglas Anderson ... omy ... was my teacher... from Boston ... with that JFK accent ... and we'd just lost JFK... BDA encouraged us to write stories of our own ... i remember writing one of my experience in a cave at the shore ... he called me to his desk after class... and told me how much he enjoyed it ... that he felt he had been right there... lol ... and... here ... it was a work of fiction on my part... lol ...

anyroad... thanks again ... i'll look up Jane Austen next time i'm to the Salvation Army store ... i pick up alot of good books there including classics for near to naught !!! ...

oh... and PS ... all my life i've loved to read.... so... lol ... reading for an English class would never have been a problem on my part ... as long as it wasn't Shakespeare ... :shock: ... lol ...

When in reality i drive a van, drink newcastle brown ale and read the daily star!!

But we can dream Wario!!!

Angels & Demons ... by Dan Brown ...

[Couch Potato]

Angels & Demons ... by Dan Brown ...

I really liked the book, but i preferred The Da Vinci Code...the other 2 digital fortress and dception point are also good.

I didnt like the lost symbol much

[Couch Potato]

OHHH did anyone ready David Peace's red ridings quartet? 1974, 1977, 1980 and 1983???

I thought they were great, the TV adaptation only showed the books in a 3 part series, and I dont think the TV show was any good compared to the books (just like many film adaptations).

[Sue K]

Angels & Demons ... by Dan Brown ... still ...

Read Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz in 6 hrs non stop on the plane home. Absolutely brilliant, a real page turner ! Have never read a Dean Koontz book that wasn't at least good, this one was exceptional !

[Sue K]

I'm still reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. I'm about halfway through and I am truly finding it more fun than the other book Brown wrote. Sorry, dementia's got me at the moment and I can't think the name ... lol ...

DAVINCI CODE ! I thought of it as I clicked off.

[Couch Potato]

Im now onto Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...only got a few pages in.

For all you wrestling fans who have not read it yet, id reccommend Bret Harts book, infact, even if you dont like Wrestling, read it, Such a great book.

I have FALILV tucked away for a read. I saw the film. It was wildly weird and Johnny Depp as I've never seen him before, but I liked it for what it was ... lol ... And thanks for the head's up on the BH book. I want to read Mick Foley's autobio and I think Rick Flair recently wrote something as well. Did you hear anything about that ? Thanks again ! ... :-) ...

Mick Foley has 3 books (I think) ab out his 'wrestling life' Have a nice day, foley is good and the hardcore diaries, they are all great. Have a nice day is about 500 pages (as is BH book) but its a great read.

Ric Flair has at least one book out, he slates Mick Foley in it, they really do hate each other. Ive not read it, but I keep saying Im going to.

Ive never seen the film, I must watch it. Johnny Depp is also playing Paul Kemp, in the fiml adaptation of The Rum Diary, another Hunter book. Wich is a great read, very 'hemmingway' the way it was wrote!

Hope your enjoying Angels and Demons :)

[Pudding]

Still working through Dan Browns' - The Lost Symbol I manage to read a chapter everytime I go to the toilet, so 68 more craps to go before I've finished it :))

[daveake]

Is it a keeper, or do you use a chapter's worth of paper for each crap?

[Pudding]

It's a great read so far :up: If I wanted to read a book to then use it for shit paper, I'd probably start reading the Bible.

[AndyK]

Still working through Dan Browns' - The Lost Symbol

It's a great read so far :up:

You really think so? I thought it was very poor, clearly written for the film franchise, much like the later Hannibal Lechter books from Thomas Harris. I'd worked out the ending about a third of the way through the book, unlike Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code which both kept me more gripped. I think Mr Brown's day is done, he should retire Langdon and go back to writing below mediocre thrillers liek the other two he's written the titles of which I can't remember.

[Sue K]

I'm still reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. Once again, I'm only reading while on the bus to and fro the day job. Perhaps it's time to turn off the computer and tv for an evening of reading.

[LucyK!]

Ohhh The Lost Symbol...biggest let down ever. Spent weeks and months looking forward to that coming out, we even ordered two copies so Andy and I didn't have to wait for the first person to finish reading it...what a waste of hours! I adore Dan Brown books but this was hideous, there was one "twist" that I didn't see coming but bar that it was a total let down. It'll probably be a good film as it'll be more direct, we both had the feeling that it was like reading something that'd been written for film and then padded out to make it long enough to be a good book. Total let down! :(

[Pudding]

You really think so?
Yep, I really think so. There's not many secret societies left now that Dan Brown could write about, not unless you count Warioloafs fanclub :))

[samurai7]

I've got The Lost Symbol to read next, after I've finished reading ...And Another Thing, which is the controversial new Hitchhiker's Guide novel, that wasn't written by the creator... Can't seem to shake this feeling of déjà vu lol

[Sue K]

I'm still reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. I watched a good film on tv last night rather than read, so I'm still slow as a snail making my way through the book. I am still enjoying the adventure though ... :D ...

[Hypnobabe]

Just finished Awkward Situations For Men, by Danny Wallace, the bloke who wrote Yes Man - that books still makes me laugh out loud and is highly recommended!

Next to read is Alison Weir's The Lady In The Tower, about Anne Boleyn.

[Sue K]

I'm still reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown... :D ...

i´m reading "limit" by frank schaetzing. very good story!

[Sue K]

I'm still reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown and still enjoying it ... :D ...

I have finished Angels & Demons by Dan Brown !!! ... yay ! ... Imo, it was a much better adventure than The DaVinci Code, though I did enjoy that, too. The only part that bothered me was I knew what couldn't happen, I just couldn't guess how it wouldn't and when it didn't, I found it very farfetched ... lol ...

Tomorrow I begin Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell.

Btw, does the film Angels & Demons do the book justice and/ or is it any good ? I have opportunity to watch it this weekend.

Ta and niteNite ... :D ...

[Elijah's way]

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

This.:-)

[Sue K]

I'm proud of me... lol ... I began Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell last night before going to bed !!! ... :shock: ... wowDwow ~ THAT'S a ... second... lol ...

[Pudding]

Finally finished The Lost Symbol...f*ck me what a drag. It started off really well but it's about 200 pages too long. Dan Brown spoiled the plot by over-explaining shit that had absolutely sod all to do with anything relevent. Reminded me of when I was at school and was given a 1000 word essay but I could only manage 800, so I filled it out by throwing any old shit in there. As Lucy mentions, it'll probably be a good film.

[Sue K]

Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell and in fact, I think I'm off to read some more at 10pm est and then off for an early snooze.

[Hypnobabe]

The Fry Chronicles... Managed to find a signed copy in Heffers in Cambridge on Wednesday to add to my collection of signed-by-the-author books.... Unfortunately I didn't get it done personally by Sir Stephen of Frydom....

[melon]

The art of wrist spinning by Peter Philpott... just a little further reading, see if there are any different opinions from that of the coaches, so far its all pretty similar

[Sue K]

Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell and I did read a bit last night. Brrr, it's going to be a gory thriller ! I like it ! ... lol ...

[The Flying Mouse]

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

:twisted: I'm just about to finish re reading this, just the last chapter to go and then it looks like i'll be re reading Deathly Hallows lol

Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell and reading it like a house a'fire ! I love murder mysteries especially about serial killers. Wtf is wrong with me ? ... lol ...

[sexyeyes_jo]

i don't normally read but at the moment im reading sharpe's tiger its not bad at the moment the tv series with sean bean was ok to what i remember

[Battybarb]

been babysitting a lot lately so started reading again,just started "The Silent Lady" by Catherine Cookson

[Sue K]

I'm still reading Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell and being re-introduced to characters I'd forgotten about from other Cornwell's other books featuring Kate Scarpetta. I'm enjoying it immensely.

[mtaylor315]

I've just finished two books :

1984 by George Orwell - truly amazing. one of the few books i've read that has kept me hooked throughout and also made me think about its themes and the ideas it gives.

Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut - this books definitely different. . though in a good sense :-). Really amazing writer!

I've got a keen interest in history & am sitting an Advanced Higher course as well this year at school, so have started reading 'Battle Cry of Freedom - The American Civil War' by James M. McPherson - very good read so far, although the small print and 880 or so pages make it slightly daunting to me :lol:

[Sue K]

I'm still reading Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell ... still enjoying it immensely and... duh to me ! That's "Kay" Scarpetta, not "Kate" ... lol ...

[Hypnobabe]

The Almost Moon, by Alice Sebold, and The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins.

Before anyone jumps on me, I defend anyone's right to believe in God, but personally, I don't.

[allrevvedup]

Big Man by Clarence Clemons, he of E-street band fame

Not sure what to make of it a stories of legend become a bit annoying after a while but it's a decent read. Maybe could have more about Springsteen and the rest of the E-Street Band, but am only half way through it so who knows!

worth it for 2 euro anyway

[Sue K]

I'm on the afterword of Ann Rule's Heart Full Of Lies (A True Story Of Desire and Death) THANK LOAF !!! Gawd, it's been a lengthy, boring read ... lol ... but I hated the thought of not finishing it. The reader KNOWS this woman was convicted of murdering her husband and while reading about her, imo, she stood out as a wackaDoodle !!! I don't see how she conned anyone with half a brain into thinking her smart, beautiful, kindly, etc ... She was an out and out wacko, imo ... I'll finish it today, I SWEAR... lol ... and then onward and hopefully, upward ... lol ... xo

[BostonAngel]

This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx by Nikki Sixx of course! I adore him.

[Hypnobabe]

Other than course books, which don't count in my opinion, nothing... Which is amazing for me, as I normally have three or four on the go at any one time...

[Sue K]

Welp, I did finish the Ann Rule book and found the Afterword the most interesting bit of the book ! ... lol ... Onward to "Help ! I'm Laughing And I Can't Get Up" by Liz Curtis Higgs (an "encourager"). Miss Higgs is "an award-winning speaker" who goes about the world giving encouraging speeches on how to laugh. "Rated "G" for "Good, clean fun!"" so it says on the back of book. I bought it at a local Salvation Army outlet. What caught my eye was what was written on the back cover of the book... "Are you ... (honest... there's three dots... lol ... ) Overworked? Under-humored? Stressed out? Down in the dumps? Here's the perfect pick-me-up!" I must have been feeling all that at the time of purchase MONTHS ago... lol ... and now I have the book in a box of them I'm reading in alphabetical order... lol ... I've only read a few pages and it seems so far a bit of light-hearted fluff... EXCEPT ... she quotes the Bible. A big "uh oh" light went off in my head when I read "I may not remember my exact words at the time or the exact order of things, but something happened all right! If you want exact truth, read the Bible." ... Yeah, uh-oh lights, bells and whistles... lol ...

[A Slice Of English]

A Clash of Kings by George R R Martin, Book 2 in the Song of Ice & Fire series. WELL into it now that Game of Thrones is on TV. Loving it.

I finally painfully finished this extremely unfunny book however, I am nearly finished a delicious one called The Kite Runner. It's by Khaled Hossein and is the story of two boys growing up in Afghanistan. The Washington Post World said ~ "A powerful book... no frills, no nonsense, just hard, spare prose... an intimate account of family and friendship, betrayal and salvatoin that requires no atlas or translation to engage and enlighten us. Parts of The Kite Runner are raw and excruciating to read, yet the book in its entirety is lovingly written"... and that's exactly right. There's moments so shocking, sad and blunt that I found myself slamming the book shut and in tears, even on the bus... Yet others I am hugging the book to myself and enjoying the moment ... It's unfortunate in its way that I recognize the towns mentioned in the book, unfortunate for the fact I know them from news of the war that continues there... but it is bringing the towns to life for me ... and I find that interesting... Yes, there are the bad guys, but there's the good guys, too... xo

Oh, gosh... lol ... I forget what the heck the book was about !!! I'm sure I liked it, though... hmmm ... good gravy davy... Anyway, next read was Message In A Bottle, I forget the author, but it started out alright for me, but then, I found it to be hokey and sappy and I found the main female character to be deceitful. And I know the book was made into film with, oh gosh... Why do I KEVIN COSNER... I always want to call him Warren something... lol ... At anyrate, KC played the male lead and I've always found him to be a bit of a mope. Kevin Cosner, that is, and I couldn't get his mopiness out my mind and I think it really ruined the story for me entirely. The author is male and imo, he made the female characters a bit too giddy for their ages. Imagine ME saying that... lol ...

Anyway, now I'm on to No Time For Goodbye by Linwood Barclay. I felt the concept good and was going along with it as an easy read and then, well, the police in the story didn't follow-up on something the way I felt they should. I wonder if that's part of the plot or just writing that imo is a bit shoddy ? We'll see...

:twisted: I've been on a Stephen King marathon myself lately.

At the moment i'm in the middle of Cell (the end of the world via mobile phone).

I read Misery years ago and think it's an awesome book.

The Shining is something else.
I read somewhere that SK never forgave Stanley Kubrick for the film adaptation. While that's not always a good indicator of a good movie, it was enough to put me off for long time, which also caused a general negative towards the whole story.

Then I caight some of the mini series on TV, and really enjoyed it.
Bought it on ebay and watched the whole thing, thought it was great.
So then I watched the SK version, and thought it was OK (different from the series, but nothing I could see causing so much offence to SK :wtf: ).
So the book was recommended to me a few weeks ago, but I still had a stack of books to read, but now i'm coming to the end i'm putting The Shining on my to do list 8)

I've finished No Time For Goodbye. It turned out pretty okay... plot twists here and there and then I thought... "oh is THAT all it was ?" ... and I did think that one character was not to be trusted and I was right ! He was just too calm and cool about the whole thing. All in all, a decent read.

Now on to a very fave author, Jonathan Kellerman and his character, Dr. Alex Delaware in Obsession. I'm looking forward to a good read. So far so good. My curiousity is peeked to the hilt ! (Is that the correct usage of "peeked" ? It seems not... lol ... Perhaps it should be "piqued" ... right ? My brain's a bit fuzzy this morning)
