I'm trying to read "Night Train to Lisbon" by Pascal Mercier but for some reason I can't get past the first 10 pages, which I've read over & over...
I don't know if I'm just not in the mood/mind frame to read it, or if the book & I are just not compatible.

Might give it a go again actually now that you've mentioned it and see if I can read it early evening instead of night  Let me know what you think..

Finished 'The Elephanta Suite' by Paul Theroux -- quite good.
Borrowed 'The Gangster We Are All Looking For' (by Le Thi Diem Thuy) from the library, now part way through. About Vietnamese refugees resettled in the US.

I've just finished a new novel by Rose Tremain : The road home. An immigrant worker from Eastern Europe tries to adapt to a new way of life in contemporary London. Well observed and entertaining. Shows another version of life as an expat in all its complexity.

'Winter Holiday', Arthur Ransome. Comfort reading and even better than normal with a foot of snow outside my windows...

| | What are you reading at the moment?
I used to read a lot but since having my daughter I seemed to have lost touch with a good book. I was just wondering what are you reading at the moment?
I have been looking on Amazon in the hope of getting our bookshelf restocked but seemed to have lost touch on what is out there.
So come on guys, whats good? What have I missed over the last two years? Look forward to hearing from you.

Some of the books I enjoyed reading last year were:
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
I hope you find some time to have a read!

Thanks very much
Just looking at 'A Thousand Splended Suns' on Amazon as you sent that. Sounds interesting. It is in the top 100, so must be good.

It's a great book and the Book Thief was a real eye-opener. I've been reading books by Tom Bryce and I'm addicted now.

I just finished The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It is written from the perspective of a murdered girl who watches her family from heaven. It's a strange book in the way it is written but it works & I found it hard to put down.
