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

Cheers LB, I'm amazed you can part with them, I can't get rid of any of mine. Only the really rubbish ones that I hated can I get rid of. Did I ever mention Sherrilyn Kenyon to you at all? I've borrowed a couple of hers off a friend and really enjoyed them so am going to start buying them soon, just waiting to get some cheap second hand ones on Amaz.

i keep "classics " and stuff but the crime books and the odds and sods i try to get rid of i give some to my ma but she then gives them back to me so i dont really achieve anything ! i dont know sherrilyn kenyon what sort of stuff does she write ?

It's a sort of Buffy meets Reefgirls 'interesting' stories. Vampires and werewolf etc with a bit of a romp in there too

hmmm not my kinda thing then really but still each to his own

I finished Jane Eyre!! Just spent the last however many hours reading, was wonderful. Am now downloading the BBC adaptation

it is wonderful you are right - have you read daphne du maurier ? rebecca and my cousin rachel ? i think you would like them too

No not yet, the first two are on my to read list but I'm not familiar with My Cousin Rachel, tell me more

actually, of the two its my fave tho i love them ( and her others ) my cousin rachel is very mysterious and i dont want to tell you too much as it may spoil it for you - basically he meets his cousin ( i think by marriage ) who has lived abroad for years and the story unfolds from there, as with rebecca she is a mysterious person and the story gets you from the start - in fact i may have to re read it now i have started to think about it see thats what this board is all about i think

Definately, I now have to decide what I'm going to read next

I have just started the third book in the pendragon series by stephen lawhead - they are great - not as battle scarred as the cornwell emphasis on the spiritual and merlin i love em so am reading them slowly so i dont finish em too quick

Oh Rebecca is such a wonderful book. Definately one I could reread again and again. The TV adaptation with Joanna Davies years ago was very good. I havent read anything else by Daphne Du Murier but I should. I think I should reread Rebecca. I am now reading one called Peripheral Vision , an Orange long list. It si one of those ones where you have lots of characters introduced in different scenarios and you are not sure how they relate yet. I am sure it will become clear and it is good writing.

sounds complicated

A bit at the moment! But it is good writing. Just means you have to concentrate!

i see so its no good reading it when you have a crowd of dogs causing chaos then

Probably not..unless you teach them to read as well!

cant teach em to do anything ditz - sit - come when called - stay etc sometimes i think its that they dont speak english - its the only explanation

Learn doggie then....its obvious!

course ! why didnt i think of that ?? talking about rebecca and my cousin rachel means i will just have to go and read them again and soon

I found Rebecca quite haunting. Such a lovely book. There was a sequel written by someone else called Rebaccas Story but I dont know if it ever worked. I looked at it in the library but wasnt tempted enough to read it

yes thats right i think it was susan hill wasnt it - i didnt think i wanted to read it either as rebecca is just such a wonderful book as it is try my cousin rachel thats haunting too in a different way
