    Can we read the number one bestselling Booky Wook instead of anything that may involve actual thinking? I got it for christmas and aint had the inclination to start it yet! :rolleyes:


    i've got that to read as well!!!

    me, you and Sian will have a literary threesome... you can make the tea afterwards :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    the road was the best book i've read in a long, long time. i think it's the kind of book you'll either love or hate.
    Brilliant :) well the one I'm reading right now is amazing but thick and with small writing so it's taking me more than a few days to get through :o . I'd gotten used to the kinda books you'd read in two days at the most :D so it can be frustrating like 'I've been reading for 2 hours now and I've only read 20 pages, wtf?' :D but it's worth it... and then I'm looking forward to the road :)

    I don't think it's wise, you two reading Russell Brand's Booky Wook... you seem to already have his rather debauched attitude down to a t ;)

    well i think i read the road in two days so that shouldn't be a problem for you. i couldn't put it down and then couldn't stop thinking about it!

    I love finding books like that. The one I'm reading right now is 'shake hands with the devil' by Romeo Dallaire... fantastic amazing shocking book... and I've been reading it about a week now :eek: every spare second I've had I'm reading... just haven't HAD much spare time the past week. But I hope to finish it over the weekend.

    http://www.amazon.com/Shake-Hands-Devil-Failure-Humanity/dp/0786714875

    I was reading some of the reviews and agree with this one completely:

    "Most people say that it's a good review when they can not put a certain book down. For me this book was a completly different experience. I simply HAD to put it down, my frustration became to much."

    oh no, he does nothing for me either but I think he's quite clever in the language he uses and his life really interests me... tbh, I don't see what some women do see in him! :confused:

    hehe! steady now Soupy ;)

    I can see his charm certainly, he has the gift of the gab for sure and yeah, he's not ugly as such... but he's not stunning either.

    I just don't see the appeal. Tbh though, i'm not really attracted to men who's reputation is built on how sexually promiscuous they are :p

    I'm a good way through the first book already. Beautiful language and very difficult to put down. There's no doubt that I'll be reading his other books.


    Thanks Trix :)

    I still haven't bought it. I keep forgetting the name everytime I am out and I already checked my library.
    I also have to get my book for my other book club..I am assuming it will blow.

    I just finished Chasing Windmills last night. Ick.

    i started reading it today.. i'm about 30 pages or so in.. the language is great as i catch myself reading it in the voice of a southern gentleman.. or one of the hairy guys from Kings of Leon.. why thank you ma'am... that kinda thing.

    p.s. it was my idea to do this book.. Trix started the thread as she gets taken more seriously than me :( :D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    At first I read that as "She takes this more seriously than me".
    And I was going to say it was your choice anyway. :)
    I would love, love, love to hear your version of a Southern gentleman accent.
    I dont get taken seriously. People always have some snarkiness going on but that negativity only makes me stronger.
    I still have to get the book. :o

    This book is great...over two thirds of the way through and it keeps getting better and better.
    I already ordered another of his at the library.

    Thank Dunk...although I think you're right about Trix being taken more seriously ;)
