Re: What are you reading?

I've read Brown's last 4 books and I'm not going to give anything away, but they all have the same basic structure which is quite frustrating. If you've read The Da Vinci code then you'll see the similarities with A+D.

Re: What are you reading?

Just finished Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction - easily the best Adrian Mole she's done since the Growing Pains. Very laugh-aloud funny, which is quite embarassing for me as I do most of my reading on planes.

Re: What are you reading?

I'm just nearing the end of 'The Big Over Easy' by Jasper Fforde - the blurb says:

It's Easter in Reading--a bad time for eggs--and no one can remember the last sunny day. Ovoid D-class nursery celebrity Humpty Stuyvesant Van Dumpty III, minor baronet, ex-convict, and former millionaire philanthropist, is found shattered to death beneath a wall in a shabby area of town. All the evidence points to his ex-wife, who has conveniently shot herself.
But Detective Inspector Jack Spratt and his assistant Mary Mary remain unconvinced, a sentiment not shared with their superiors at the Reading Police Department, who are still smarting over their failure to convict the Three Pigs of murdering Mr. Wolff. Before long Jack and Mary find themselves grappling with a sinister plot involving cross-border money laundering, bullion smuggling, problems with beanstalks, titans seeking asylum, and the cut and thrust world of international chiropody.

And on top of all that, the JellyMan is coming to town . . .


I'm a big fan of his books anyway, but this one is top class - thoroughly recommended

Who cares? When you're reading it, you feel like you've got some of the same stuff
