    Default 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!

    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 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!

    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.

    "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!

    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!

    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.
