Oh, and recently read the tales of beedle the bard - got it out to read to my daughter and we gave up because it was so bad.

That killed any desire to read anything of JK Rowlings.

parasite rex by carl zimmer . interesting read that makes parasites seem pretty amazing. didn't expect to enjoy it as much as i do

I can vouch for the book thief, a good read

'A Street cat named Bob', by James Bowen. Easy read, very uplifting.

Vendetta-John Follain

Swiss Watching by Diccon Bewes. Absolutely hilarious

A book on how to recognise animal tracks in Scandinavia. Handy for when I visit the mountain cabin.

What it is like to go to war. Written by an old man who had trouble getting over all that madness.

"Die Stimme meiner Eltern hörte ich nie." (I've never heard the voice of my parents.)
The true life story of Erwin Hauser, a Swiss.

It is about how he and his sister grew up in a Kinderheim,
(a house for kid's with parents either both working or divorced ... )

but they were denied to know the truth about their parents and were told they were dead.

The book talks about how they went on search for their parents and also reveals a rather sad chapter about how the Swiss treated the children who ended up for various reasons in those houses.

The 6th book of the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series
If you like fantasy, this is the ultimate series to read. Forget, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, etc etc etc...
The Malazan series sets a new benchmark in the genre.

The restaurant at the end of the universe, by Douglas Adams. Second in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy trilogy.

Awesome, required reading.

Since Jane Austen only wrote 6 books, I'm currently going through a Georgette Heyer phase.

At the moment, it's Frederica. Delightful escapist stuff, witty, and the attention to detail - considering she wrote these between the '20s and mid-70s and therefore pre-Internet - is impeccable.

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Enjoying it very much, perfect for lazy Sundays.

I really enjoyed the last book I read, "Caveat Emptor" (about an art forger) that I've ordered "The Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World's Largest Unsolved Art Theft".

Hoping to start that this week. Any more art theft/forgery/crime, etc books to recommend let me know!

I'm reading the new book of Doctor Roger K. Leir, translated in French.
Not sure how it will be named in English because strangely it's published in French before being published in English...
(French name is Contacts ovnis - la dernière frontière / Ufos contacts - the last frontier ?)

As the other books, it's about Extraterrestrial Implants in Humans and it's very intriguing ...

The paperboy <--- LOVING IT !!!

"Never eat alone" and "Book yourself solid". Both books are business books and incredibly valuable for anyone who starts a new business or wants to grow his network.

I am just finishing off "The Light Between Oceans"
Loved it, really brilliant book.
I have recently started an online book-club, feel free to come past and join in the fun ¨
We are busy choosing new books for the next read, if you have a book that you want to read, or loved, I would really appreciate the input as we will be voting on new books next week.

Oh God, I loved The God Delusion.

Currently am trying to soldier through the wikipedia article on cats (in french!)

The internet is a book...Right? ; )

That good huh? Have that on my E-reader, been meaning to read it since forever! Maybe I should just pick it up again.

Just read 'The Prestige' by Christopher Priest, as always, the book, or in this case, the diary, is far better than the film. However, the film was superb and had a very macabre ending, however the books ending is a very sinister macabre ending, much different to that of the film, brilliant.
