About 1/3 the way through Cloud Atlas. Very, very, very good!! I'm really having a hard time putting it down.

With Or Without You by Carole Matthews - light and airy chick lit. My system is: one chick lit book, one serious book. So I did Sushi For Beginners and then the Line of Beauty, now With Or Without You and next will actually be... Cloud Atlas!  ;D

That's funny - my book club is reading Line of Beauty next!  I'm still totally engrossed in Cloud Atlas.  I can definitely see why it was short-listed for Booker! You'll have to let me know what you think of it when you start reading. :)

I still have Cloud Atlas sitting on my desk ready to be read! I thought Line of Beauty was overrated, myself. Let me know what you think!

I'm reading the trashiest ever biography of Jean Harlow -- written circa 1960. Got it at a carboot sale for 10p.

I'm re-reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. Beautiful book!

Just finished reading Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah. Really moving and heart wrenching...

Just finished Cloud Atlas  and would strongly recommend it! Started reading I, Lucifer today and have already laughed out loud in a public place at least four times. Good stuff!!

I'm re-reading Running With The Demon by Terry Brooks.  It's the first in "The Word and The Void" trilogy.  I read them a few years back and enjoyed them immensely.  So far, they are just as good the second time around. :)

I just finished cute, frothy chick lit called "He loves me, he loves me not" (very funny skint Irish aristo caper) and Jane Green's "The Other Woman" - again, excellent light reading, all about her relationship with her MiL.

Next I am moving onto Cloud Atlas, purely because of the reviews on here and a book on having children recommended by Britwife and some others on here.

Mark Twain - A Yankee in the Court of King Arthur.  I'm really enjoying it.

Secret Life of Bees was a wonderful book!
