Jason Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I just finished "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer and don't know what to read next, but it might be "1984". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassermaet Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I keep trying to start that book but I didn't get any further than chapter 3. Need to try and read it again I think. Nineteen Eighty Four I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanofNess Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I just finished "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer and don't know what to read next, but it might be "1984". You could try Into Thin Air by the same author, if you haven't already read it, great book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabiaTerra Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just finished Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. An alternative take on the Grail legend. I wouldn't call it gripping but it was reasonably entertaining. I've read a lot worse (The Da Vinci Code). 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautim Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've just read her new book 'Sepulchre' which is the same sort of thing - past and present follow a trail till they meet in some sort of crisis/climax. This time the glue holding the parts together is a tarot pack. I won't say any more because that would spoil it for other people. I did enjoy it - I think it was better than the last one and I did find myself reading much too late at night because I wanted to find out what happened next.

khitajrah Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Bad Science by Ben Goldacre - completely debunking popular "health fads" including Patrick Holford and "Dr" Gillian McKeith. Rated 5 stars by the BBC Focus magazine which is why I said to my OH "I really, really want to read this!" (ps. Thank you for remembering it for my birthday!) Forensic Science (Second Ed.) by Andrew and Julie Jackson. OU module required reading and thoroughly enjoying it - excellent for helping you pick CSI apart Attempted to read The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart. What a load of **** and I won't be finishing it - I got as far as page 140-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOYAANISQATSI Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 'Dodie's phenomenal pheesic' Translation of Roald Dahl's 'Georges marvellous medicine' into Shetland dialect, by Christine De Luca. The youngest brought this home from primary school, so I grabbed it for a quick scan.Funny stuff, not only is it something in the Shetland dialect worth reading for once but it makes a great improvement on the original.Hope there's more of these out there, It would be great to see a discworld novel done over Sheltiestyle.
