Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui" by Karen Kingston.  Every time I read it (I've read it several times now) I am inspired to get rid of even more stuff!

Any other mystery fans out there?

Well I've finished the latest HP.  Now I've set aside to read the sequel to Driving Over Lemons - called A Parrot in the Pepper Tree, but not had time to start it yet.

I never have the patience!  I always end up reading the last chapter when I'm about halfway through. :P

Well I never did get 'round to A Parrot in the Pepper Tree (yet).  I was really waiting for Steve to finish Pies and Prejudice: In Search of the North by Stuart Maconie.  I bought it recently for me to read, but he got to it first because I was reading HP.  So now I'm onward in search of the North...  So far, fun read! [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

I might have mentioned before that I love the North!!! [smiley=smitten.gif]

I'm dragging my way through Ian Rankin's Fleshmarket Close. It isn't highbrow reading, but if you like murder/mysteries, he's one of the good writers. He lives in Edinburgh.

Cait,

Is it any good, or has the series lost its lure?

If you haven't found it, read William Goldman's The Color of Light. Also read Luke Reinhart's The Diceman. Believe me, you'll find both books fascinating.

I haven't read that one, but I do like Ian Rankin!

I'm reading The Instance of the Fingerpost ... but am reading very slowly lately as, for some reason, I'm unable to keep my eyes open for more than 5 minutes once I'm in bed.  :)

Caroline (and anyone else who lives in Yorkshire) - for your Northern literary education you must read 'Billy Liar' and 'City Lights'  by Keith Waterhouse, (the second being his memories of childhood in 1930s Leeds,  'A Kind of Loving' by Stan Barstow, and 'The Uses of Literacy' by Richard Hoggart.  I'll test you on them next time we meet. ;)

I like it.  Each book as a few new central characters and that keeps it interesting.  Besides, I am very much a sucker for nice long Victorian novels.
