Reading Group - Book 2
Suggestions for our second book folks?! Sorry this took a while, but the best things are worth waiting for! Fun times ahead for sure! :D
The booklist we chose from last time:
http://bestsellers.about.com/od/book...ading_list.htm
We chose one from the first 3, so perhaps we want to choose from the next 3? I'm open to any alternative suggestions:
4. 'Three Cups of Tea' by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
5. 'Memoirs of a Geisha' by Arthur Golden
6. 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time' by Mark Haddon
-
i've always wanted to read Memoirs of a Geisha. I will however read anything! :)

This one also sounds good, I shouldn't start looking at books . . I just want to buy them all :) I already have a library starting in the house :)
-
I have read "Memoirs of a Geisha" and would be happy to re-read this. Have more recently read the "The Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" which was also an excellent read.
"3 Cups of Tea" is on my to do list, and that one "Sleep" sounds pretty good too.
Oh decisions decisions! HA HA! I love books, and like yourself, I tend to buy more than I have time to read! :lol:
-
I love 'The Dog in the Night-time', started 'Memoirs of a Geisha' but couldn't get into it, and 'Before I go to Sleep' is the next book I planned to buy. My choice would be 'Before I go to Sleep' but I'd read any of them.
-
o.k, I really can't decide! they all sound very good to me :-\ Why don't we read one this time and the other next?
-
"Before I Go to Sleep" - S J Watson. Everyone seems happy to read this so let's give it a whirl!
Is it ok to give ourselves until end July to read this folks?

DEAL! :D
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Before-I-Go-.../dp/0857520172
£7.79 from amazon, hardback.
I know hardbacks are more expensive than paperbacks, so for those who would rather wait and buy the paperback version, I think it should be available by about mid June, which would allow you a couple of weeks to read if prior to book group discussion in July.
Tilly Teckel - do you want to lead the questions for this one?
Cheers folks - Happy reading! x
-
Good find on Amazon there!
I'd be happy to lead the questions this time but you may need to give me reminder a week before - I have a mind like a sieve ;)
All excited again now, hope lots of peeps join in this time!
-
-
The more the merrier! Just get yourself the book, enjoy the read, and check back on here July time to join in the discussions :O) x

Will get the book today. Can't wait :)

Spotted the book in Tesco today for £8. Mine is the way from Amazon or I'd have bought it. Handy if anyone wants to join in without buying online.
-
Delighted to see a positive uptake for this book! All aboard folks! Fun times x
-
My book is on the way!! I should have it by Friday :) Can't wait!! :D
-
Have started book. Gripping from page 1 :)
-
My copy arrived yesterday, just as I am 10 pages into a new book.... o what to do? Continue with other book, or get stuck into our one first! LOL!x
-
My book is here now (!) just as I finished my last one, so no dilemma for me :) x
-
Dilemma over - Before I go to sleep picked up last night, the millenuim trilogy (which I am also excited to read) will wait for a couple of weeks! x
-
I started it yesterday and i have read 166 pages :/ It is so difficult to put down!!! :D
-
Oh my goodness, this book is ridiculously gripping!! I have been reading it continuously since about 2 o'clock and I now feel sick with excitement!! I am obviously not going to give anything away but just wait till you get to page 333!! This is one of the best books I have read in a long long time!!!1 :D
-
Got my copy yesterday, starting it tonight. May take a nap beforehand cos I think I'll be up most of the night!
-
I have finished :D might read it again!! :D
-
Oooooh, I enjoyed that. Had to stop myself turning straight to page 333 though! Started it last night and finished it this morning; just couldn't put it down. Will get my thinking cap on for questions... good excuse to read it again I think!
-
Get some good questions Tilly :)!! A book as good as this needs good questions so no pressure :) i honestly can not believe how much it gripped me from the very very beginning :) x
-
P.s. Everyone should read this book, and also, I am going to read it again from Monday I think :D
-
Am on about page 100 - the pages are flying past.. I'm already gathering suspicions and making preconceptions which will all be totally wrong no doubt, but I'm enjoying it and making margin notes as I go! xx
-
Looking forward to the questions Tilly Teckel - you ready to go soon? YEHAR! :O) x
-
Hey, thanks for the heads-up, I'd totally forgot! Told you I had the brain of an amoeba!
Questions to follow very soon..... (once I've skimmed through the book again!) :)
