A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby.  I've never read any of his other books, but this one is really good.  Really witty and a pretty quick read.

me too! this is my first nick hornby book. I really like it so far... 3/4 through.

I saw a woman on the  DLR reading it and had to mention I was reading it too  :)

I am actually in the middle of reading several books...

Wicked
The Kite Runner
The Art of Happiness

not to mention a handful of others I started and put down for later.

but I will probably finish off A Long Way Down and start Paulo Coelho's The Zahir next.

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

I'll add Vince and Joy to my list then for when I get to Borders.

Ended up spotting it at the Library and finished it the other day.  Really enjoyed it. 

Finished Where have all the boys gone? by Jenny Colgan over breakfast today and loved that.  Definitely looking for more of her books as this one made me snort with laughter a few times and I really got into it.

Cannot say the same for Wish upon a star by Olivia Goldsmith.  It made me angry when the heroine goes to London on business then just decides to stay... and works illegally in a shop.. and gets rewarded in the end by becoming independently wealthy and getting the stuffy Brit she spent a third of the book fighting with! grrrr.

Lady Chatterly's Lover - D.H. Lawrence

Love, love, love this book.  It is one of my favourites!

They made a movie of it a while back and we went to find it - it was in the PORN section!!!! (when regular movie stores had porn sections)  We watched it anyway and it was just a really nice movie...with lots of sex, tastefully filmed mind you and not a bad interpretation of the book!

Yeah I thought it was very good - first time I'd read it.  I am now re-reading The Corrections.  Then it's off to the library again this weekend!

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.
