| What was the last book you read and enjoyed? Mine was a 'Morse' story by Colin Dexter. At the moment I'm reading My Life in France by Julia Child. (The Julia in the film 'Julie & Julia' starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams)

| I'm reading 'tree Surgery For Beginners' by Patrick Gale - I love his books, & have most of them (met him once too, & he's utterly charming). After this, I will read 2 by John Harvey -from his Resnick series - Cutting Edge & Off Minor. I read far too much really, to the detriment of the ironing mountain, but I'd rather read than do almost anything else.

| Thanks for reply Karen. Haven't heard of the authors you mentioned so please let me have more details. Good for you, reading, rather than doing other things. Nothing like keeping the mind active eh?

| Hi Yes, I recently finished reading the Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, both of which were excellent. I am currently reading Harry Potter, The Goblet of Fire. Have you read any of these books? Bella

Hi, I have recently just finished a really good book, its called "What was lost" by Catherine O'Flynn. Waterstones stock the book if anyone is interested. It's the authors first book and I cant wait to read her next one. When I first started to read it I wondered if I had picked up a chidrens mystery but stick with it because the begining is crutial to the whole story. Its a brilliant read.

Yes, I'm reading a fantastic book about osteoporosis at the moment - 'The Bone Building Solution' by Sam Graci - I posted about it in the Books and Information section of the forum.
I suppose people would expect one to post about fictional books in this section of the forum, but I'm one of those people who only reads non-fiction and my favourite books are always science or history, particularly any science books on health topics that I have a personal interest in

| I've just finished Jonathan Coe's The Rain Before It Falls. Beautifully evocative of longing and loss. It took me a while to get around to buying this one for some reason. I love all Coe's books; What A Carve-Up! is one of my all-time favourite novels. It's a very different kind of narrative from the latest one, though.

Melvyn Bragg's The Journey of English. I read this at Uni, and was captivated with the trials that the English language went through as it developed into what we use today. Utterly fascinating.
