Also happened to spot an old post of chary's in the Library thread:  www.readitswapit.co.uk, which looks like a fantastic site!  Worth looking into.  Anyone ever actually used it?

LOL! I was the one who posted it and I've never used it! It did sound like a great concept, though.

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill, as it turns out is really Stephen King's son and it was quite a good scary read.  Woo-hoo.  It isn't out till next month, but working in a store has advantages.  Also, good for the crime reader's is Sharp Objects.  I thought it was very good, but disturbing.

Just bought Breakfast at Tiffanys. My bookclub at home read it last month, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

At the moment, I won't let myself open any other book to read as I am trying hard to concentrate on my Life in the UK book!   (ugh, I find all the political information so increcibly boring!!)

Have to check that one out, i love crime novels, why was it disturbing?

Right now, i picked up Patricia Cornwell's latest, Predator and started it last night.

Great quick book!  If you haven't finished already, just keep in mind that it's nothing like the movie! (like so many, I guess)

Right now, I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.  Next up The Neon Bible by John Kennedy Toole, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, David Foster Wallace, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being, /Milan Kundera, (which is probably one of those books I should have read in college or high school.  You have to catch up with the classics sometime!)

I haven't seen the movie, but I'm glad you told me that because I was thinking of renting it. I finished the book on a train ride. I really liked it!

I just finished My Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson. I liked it although it was a slow read.
