dunno who's more crazy!

Karin Slaughter's "Fractured." It's a thriller set in Atlanta, and I am really enjoying it.

Completely OT...but Jeppa, which part of Sunderland do you come from?

Not from Sunderland originally (Durham City) but moved here 37 years ago when we got married. I now live at Roker near the Glass Centre, sea on one side, river on the other.

I did the opposite to you, I was living and working in London when I met my husband and came back up here when I married him.[/QUOTE]


We're both from the NE Jeppa, but moved southwards for work . I miss being by the sea though.[/QUOTE]

That`s the best thing about where I am now, lovely views, we moved here 5 years ago to an apartment as I couldn`t manage stairs any more but then I lost my husband 2yrs ago but at least I don`t have any garden to worry about and it`s really secure (which you definitely need when you`re on your own in Sunderland nowadays)

I noticed you mentioned the King Arthur trilogy by Bernard Cornwell, I`ve had those in my basket at Amazon for a while now but still not bought them, are they good ?[/QUOTE]


Sorry for your loss Jeppa The OH and I are thinking of downsizing, but want to stay in the South because of my daughter, but don't know where we'd like to go yet. The Arthur trilogy is excellent however, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very different to the 'Camelot' interpretation

I agree Squiggle. I finished "A Christmas Carol" a couple of weeks ago, and it put me in the mood for some more Dickens.

When you've had to study and dissect Dickens, it puts you off reading him for fun

Very true Kaytee, it`s not the same when you are studying a book, rather than reading for enjoyment.

It`s okay Yogi, I`m not in the cupboard. The pic is my golden retriever, called Keira and she`s four years old.

the last book you read?

"All quiet on the Orient Express" by Magnus Mills.

I like his work; it tickles my sense of the absurd.

I'm currently reading a non-fiction book - "Whipping Girl" by Julia Serano.
She's a bit of a heroine and role model for me (even though she's about half my age... )

Heart of Darkness ~ Joseph Conrad

Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut. I'd recommend it, esp to Lost fans.
