I'm soon going to be starting Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk. Looks very interesting. ;D

Just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I ran out of reading material so I borrowed this from DS and I couldn't put it down! Fantastic.

I'm reading the sequel to that now.  It's good, but not as exciting as the first book so far.

You lucky thing - how did you manage to get hold of that? I thought it wasn't coming out until September!

I'm now reading The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. I'm only two chapters in and I'm hooked.

That's in stark contrast to the book I just finished, The Business by Martina Cole, the goal of which seemed to be to pad out a thin story by repeating each idea over and over again, in as many words as possible. Gross misuse of the word "literally", and utter rubbish. Literally.

A friend of my husband's who works in a bookshop was desperate for an advance copy and ended up with three.  I kind of regret reading it so soon because now I'll have to wait even longer for the third book!

How cool is that? I wish I knew someone who works in a book store.  :P

I am re-reading Catch22 by Joseph Heller. Read it in school but forgot most of it. Such a funny book.

One of my favorite books - I've been thinking of re-reading that too.  I'm also going to try and get my 18-year-old son to read it.

I heart all things Waugh. In fact, he ought to be added to the 'Funny Book' thread!

Me too.

A friend of mine just told me that Waugh's house is near where I live and is up for sale at the moment.  Just the sort of random literary pilgrimage I like!  If only realtors had "Open Houses" here like they do in the US and I could disguise myself as a buyer to get inside...  ;)

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.  My husband had to persuade me to read it because I thought it would be too upsetting but what a great book - thought provoking without ramming the horror of the holocaust down your throat.  My 18 year-old is now reading it.
