Re: what are you reading?
I've been reading the Preston/Childs books... (Relic, Reliquary,Cabinet of Curiosities, Still Life with Crows, Brimstone...) for some reason, their writing totally gets me. Really enjoying them.
Last weekend I ran thru a Matthew Reilly book just because it was there... total crap writing... absolutey annoying and rubbish... and yet I couldn't put it down because the man does know how to keep the action going!! I was so annoyed that I kept reading!!! LOL |

Re: what are you reading?
I need something new to read
looking for something involving ice, glaciers, other very cold things, and survival against all odds - and it has to have credible depictions of deep psychological processes but the writing has to be excellent too

Re: what are you reading?
Preston and Child have one called Ice Limit, but I've not read it yet... I'll bet it fits the bill tho! I plan to read it when I'm done with this series...

I'm just over halfway through Bill Bryson's A Short History Of Nearly Everything (and boy is it hard going - although I will henceforth be invincible in pub quizzes after reading it), and when that doesn't happen to be in the room, I read a page or two of Empress by Shan Sa. I keep meaning to get around to Elizabeth Gaskell's North And South, because it's a good thing for me to read, but at the moment it's just sitting on my shelf looking at me, and I have quite a few others still to read as well... |
