I have read a couple of Margaret Atwood books and liked and people keep raving aout her book The Blind Assassin (?) so I think I'll give that a go. I have read quite a few Patricia Cornwell books but one of them gave me nightmares which put me off. I think it was Black Notice.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get inspired!Random Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961882549625406258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-16041513994341444582008-01-10T15:50:00.000+00:002008-01-10T15:50:00.000+00:00Ooh..

By the time they're asleep, you're tired too! And I've just no idea what to read nowadays. <BR/><BR/>Though I LOVE Margaret Atwood books. I tend to go through phases - if I find an author I like, I stick with them until I've read all of their books. <BR/><BR/>Thing is, I'm stuck on Patricia Cornwell at the moment. And she's written, like, too many. <BR/><BR/>Anyway. Shut up Lemon. Just to say I respect your wish to read more. It may inspire me to do the same..Lemonpillowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225914497006192596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-75336020834635542222008-01-10T07:50:00.000+00:002008-01-10T07:50:00.000+00:00LKSN - Somehow I knew that you would say that you ...LKSN - Somehow I knew that you would say that you didn't rate that film.

I saw the film a few years ago and couldn't remember much about it except that it was awful (even though the gorgeous Julianne Moore was in it), so I don't know if the book follows the same story as the film. However, I enjoyed reading the book and it didn't make me feel as bad as the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-25207494202208183052008-01-09T22:01:00.000+00:002008-01-09T22:01:00.000+00:00titration - I also really like hearing about books...titration - I also really like hearing about books that have impacted people.

You'll have to let us know whether or not you recommend the ones you read. I look forward to some sound reading advice, especially since I've almost finished the QI annual (so preferably something extremely highbrow, then) :o) <BR/>VCxxthe vicious chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612010834889316816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-70962446032913142202008-01-09T16:26:00.000+00:002008-01-09T16:26:00.000+00:00I always want to read the books that people say im...I always want to read the books that people say impacted them or changed them. And I totally agree anything that starts by saying "this mighty tome" would be downgraded by me as well. Kindof sad. Which reminds me I need to go use my amazon.com gift card to buy some books! Thanks for the reminder. :)<BR/><BR/>O and I'm entirely jealous of you and G.
