Have just finished a hilarious book Wilt in Nowhere by Tom Sharpe (Madeline was hooked too) although other reviewers on Amazon did not share my joy. (Who the heck are they anyway??!!).
It reminded me that a little while back my friend and I were talking of setting up a book club. With such busy lives it never really took off (although there is still hope) but I have been going through some serious bedtime reading, my own personal book club if you will, whilst taking “my summer break!”.
Rianna is getting on to me to start reading the Lemony Snickett series. She has book 11 now, the show off!! I have just finished the last of the Dan Brown books. So I have read The DaVinci Code, Deception Point, Angels and Demons and Digital Fortress. Love him or hate him I have enjoyed the escapism and detail in his books.
So on my bookshelf I currently have the following to read:
- Captain Corelli’s Mandolin – Louis Bernieres
- The Undercover Economist - Tim Harford
- Never Far From Nowhere – Andrea Levy
- Cup of Gold – John Steinbeck
- Who’s Afraid of A Large Black Man – Charles Barkley
- Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation – Lynne Truss
Am also on the lookout for some serious Caribbean poetry and prose.
See what you can read when theTV is turned off!!!
