C.J. Sansom's Dominion is next.

I liked that but so different to his Shardlake series.

I just finished Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall for my book group, only to discover it's July's book, not June's. So I completely missed out on Vikram Seth's An Equal Music. Ooops!

Under the Dome - Stephen King

Oh I read that, I liked it  :) A mini series is coming out this month based on it, I look at the commercials like huh?? Where did they get this stuff from? Not from the book!

I am reading Jurassic Park by Michael Critchon, so far it is completely different from the movie, its quite good!

I'll be interested to hear what you think of it! I LOATHED it - for reasons I'll explain after you've read it!

That doesn't bode well.  :-\\\\ I think the blurb about it appealed to my social work mind.......

I liked it! Now, there were things in it that I could probably say I loathed, but I thought overall it was interesting to see how everyone reacted to the incident.

Haven't started it yet, but had a flip through and the format i.e. multiple viewpoints appeals. Anyhow, love the smell of a fresh book; just wish I had more time to read for pleasure....

It did win a prize for the worst sex writing in a book in the history of books. Just sayin'.  ;)

I'm currently reading a very mediocre book (forget the author just now).  One of those chick lit (sort of) novels set in Jane Austen's era, sort of written in that style.  But not.  Waiting for something interesting to happen....but it probably won't.

There were a lot of unnecessary sex scenes. They didn't add anything to the story.

I've just start Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
