Are you reading anything at the moment? I like to read. I'm reading Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie currently which I have read before but I love this book and can reread it always as it's very good. I find reading very relaxing and also perfect for a hot evening like tonight.

    Yes, I like to read. I have just finished one book written by a doctor who had to go all over the world repatriating sick or injured people.

    A mixture of hilarity with a bit of sadness. The moral is don't hurt yourself abroad!

    Now reading a customs officers life, really just laugh out loud. No misery on this one, not yet anyway.

    Both those books sounds an interesting read.

    I don't read much humour but perhaps I should start doing that, it does good to laugh.

  • I love to read, I'll give any author a try, I luv the Martina Cole books all London gamgsters.

    A really funny book in parts is Angela's ashes. My only problem is once I start reading I hate putting the book down xx

  • Have to agree with you Moi, i have read them all, Martina Cole, get me hooked,xx

  • I have just starting reading, a true story, a young 36 neurosurgeon, treating patients , then another day he was the patient for lung cancer, Interesting though sad.

  • I've just finished 'A Fine Madness' by Alan Judd. It's about the murder of Christopher Marlowe. Terrific.

    Going to start 'Clara & The Sun' by Kazuo Ishiguro.

    Just ordered this

  • My hubby used to read all them,

  • I've been reading all the books by Cara Hunter. They're all based in Oxford where I was brought up (I live in mid Wales now) so I can relate to all the places, street names, buildings etc. Brings back memories of my mis spent youth!!

  • Its good to go back to our youth days, brings back loads of good memories for me. would i like to be that age again, no thank you, i would like to be in the age group 25 to 30, when my  family were young, lol but so was i.

  • Yes, my problem is books that are made into films

    if I read the books first, I’m guaranteed to hate the film 

    if I see the film first, I hate the book

    (and it is as strong as hate)

    eg I loved The Book Thief (book) I re read it over and over but when the film came out i thought it was terrible 

    I saw Harry Potter films then (tried) to read the books but kept falling asleep See no evil
