We can start a thread with a certain book to read and then in a month (we also decide on the date) we discuss it...how about that? The thing is where can we find a book that most of us haven't read yet? :-)

Just finished Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. First half was great, second half was...weird. About to start The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I have high hopes for it as it was recommended by a friend with great taste in books. I love these two books. "The road" is not an easy one..

We should actually start an online book club :-) what do u say?? EW tried a couple of years ago - it sank. They do run real bookclubs thou - there is probably one in your area There is still an EW on line book club, if you go to Forums > Home > Book Club, you'll find it. Don't know how active it is, the most recent posts date from a few days ago. Oh you live and learn - thought that had died a slow and painful death :)

Just finishing a very good autobiography by a NZ guy called Paul Henry - "what was I thinking". Prior to that was "All B@stards Say No" which was about the story of 42 Below Vodka. Really enjoy my NZ books I guess. About to take my daughters Famous Five book and have a quick read and try and remember why I used to enjoy them as a kid so much! <em>edited by Kakariki on 27/09/2011</em>

Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer which is about Pat Tillman, an American who gave up a high paying career as an American football player to join the army after 9-11 and was killed by friendly fire, the death being used for propaganda by the Bush administration who initially covered up it was friendly fire. It's disappointing so far as Krakauer is a good writer but I'm assured it gets more interesting once Tillman joins up (I've not reached that part yet). Also Freakonomics which is really interesting and funny. Also Authentic Happiness, a self-development bok by Martin Seligman which I've been dipping into for a while. In fact I just this afternoon have been putting into practice something I learned in the book which is good because otherwise I'd be pretty p'd off at the moment! Normally Krakauers books annoy the living daylights out of me, but i recently read Where Men win Glory...what a dreadful thing to happen, the whole thing is a shambles from woe to go. The book itself fizzles at the end, (my opinion) but after what happens, you have to feel....well just where could it go from there? I picked up a Wilbur Smith hard cover at C4 last week (and no, I don't know why I did :))...read about 3 pages and am *gasp* shocked and horrified with all the graphic s3x, so havent revisited it. Surprised it was available in the supermarket! Currently can't decide just what I want to read, so am going to have a look at some of the books mentioned here.

Just finished State Of Wonder by Ann Patchett which was good. Need to get back to the library though as my choices this time are pretty uninspiring! Cocopops is that the new Paulo Coehlo book? Love his books. yes I've heard mixed reviews, so let's see :)

"Adrian Mole, The Prostate Years", and Robert Goddard's "Blood Count". Just finished "The End of the Wasp Season" by Denise Mina, but much preferred "Afterwards" by Rosamund Lupton, which I read in one go a few weeks ago.
