h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What's wrong with you AC? Nothing serious I hope?
I have just started a light hearted romp by Katie Fforde..cousin of the marvellous Jasper. Grown up chick lit but what I need to read after The Secret History. Oh and I am reading a new book on Teenagers!

still reading the immigrants it sort of grows on you although I am reading it very slowly as am busy at the moment
sorry to hear you arent well oz wassup ? hope its nothing serious

Oooh Reef thanks for the tip off I didn't know he wasn't in that and I've got it on my pc, know what I'll be watching tonight

Thanks ditz and thanks LB. Unfortunately I suffer with a condition called Ulcerative Colitis, if you haven't heard of it it's inflammation of the colon with various unpleasant effects. I've had it since I was 17 and have managed it over the years, but due to some major stress over the last few weeks it's flared up quite badly and has left me rather debilitated. I'm on medication and am going to see my specialist soon so hopefully with a carefull diet and popping pills etc it will start to get better over the next few weeks. Thanks for the 's

As for what I'm reading I've dumped the disturbing book and have opted for Sharpe's Rifles, PHOAR Sean Bean.

My ex hubby had all the Sharpe books

I'm slowly collecting them all. Am really enjoying them

I didn't really like the books

Oh AC, I hope your doc sorts you out . Poor you! Take it easy

I have just started Love in the Age of Cholera by Gabriel someone Marquez. So far a few pages in it is a very lyrical read altho friends have siad it is a bit dense so we shall see. Started Memory Keepers Daughter as well, cant wait to get back to it!
What is teh Emigrants about lbp?

its 3 stories translated from ( I think ) german - its about jewish people in different situations - very moving

That sounds really good lbp. I bought the Eyre Affiar for a friend today, a book club girl who is now living in the states. Her marriage has recently folded and she is quite low so I thought this might be an entertaining diversion!

i would say its just what she needs

I'm still working my way through the Sharpe books and am still really enjoying them.

i have just read some chicklit by sarah harrison - heaven on hold or somesuch - it wasnt gripping or even very interesting

I think I have read something by her cant remember what tho. Love in the Time of Cholera is good but a tad slow for my liking. I really want to get back to Memory Keepers Daughter but this is our book club choice so I need to stick with it for a bit longer.

Have given up Love in the Time of Cholera..just too slow. But I have finished the Memory Keeper's Daughter...Oh what a book, just brilliant. I couldnt put it down.
Intern shall I do a review when I have a minute?

I've given up with Goldfinger and I'm trying a Torchwood book, to see if the books are better than the TV show and so far it's not disappointing

I dont read sci fi fantasy stuff at all...does nothing for me.

You've got to find the right kind. There are some really intelligent books in this area, too. And many really bad ones.

I agree, my Mum's always like Isaac Asimov's Robot books, you can't go wrong with Douglas Adams or Robert Rankin, I like his books because I used to work in Brentford and Ealing, where his books are set, the books that are set round TV shows are good especially the Babylon 5 ones, one called Voices is excellent, you don't really need to be a fan of the show to read some of them

The new Janet Evanovitch/Stephanie Plum is out so I'm afraid Gorgeous Captain Jack has been put back on the shelf until Lean Mean Thirteen is finished
