I've only got as far as The Vampire Armand...no money to buy the other ones... But I would be forever in your debt if you'd tell me what happens next, what becomes of the characters and stuff. Where does Lestat end up?...If this is not the place for such extensive reviews, maybe you could IM me to discuss some more on this.
Thanks.

I've just finished reading 'Ring' by Koji Suzuki - and that was really good. If you have seen 'Ringu' (Japanese version of The Ring) you will know what it's about. At the moment I am reading 'The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants' by Ann Brashares for the third time this year. Man, I love that book...it's about four girls who believe that this pair of jeans is magic...it's really funny!  :D

[color=deb887]I noticed by your name you'd either seen or read "Ring". ;) :laugh:
I watched it a couple of weeks ago, and it is definitely better than the remake ::)

I saw the book in Waterstones quite some time ago, is it good? I mean, I know I like the movie but sometimes the books are just so more complex and gripping. ;D :D[/color]

Yeah, the book is very good. It's a little different from the film - I'm not gonna say what makes it different as that would be telling! LOL. If you enjoyed the film I would definetley recommend the book - I suppose it is more gripping - it explains more clearly about the whole Sadako-well-tape fiasco. I would try and get it to it and see what you think  :)

We'll be studying it in english son, but I haven't read it yet.

I'm reading The Alchemist by Paul Coelho. It's actually really good, the key quote so far being:

"The key to happiness is to see the house and the garden without forgetting the oil on your spoon"

Princess in Pink by Meg Cabot.  Very funny books.

And I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood and I,
I took the road less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

The Tower On The Rift by Ian Irvine
(Volume 2 of The View From The Mirror)

Well ... it's a 4 book ... trilogy ... not sure what the correct term is, but that gets the message across.
Anyway, it's sort of a fantasy adventure with loads of characters to remember, and intertwined storylines, where on 1 of the 3 worlds around "The Void" war is raging, and some characters are fleeing for their lives, others have been taken capture and ... you know what? I don't actually know how to explain it without giving the storyline away without going on forever, so I'll stop here.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, so far, I love it to bits.. ;D
Runt: What's the color of love, Pig?
Pig: What sort of love, love?
Runt: Don't know. But you know the way things, they got a color. I wonder what the color of love is.
Pig: Jesus, Runt. You could read a thousand think books and never know the answer to that quiz.
Runt: It's be a good one to know, ah?
Pig: It'd be brilliant, Runt. It's around here somewhere.

[color=deb877]Umm, I'll see if I can get Ring by book form next weekend ;D Fingers crossed and all that jazz!

I'm glad it explains more; not that I'm slow or thick :-\ but I do think the whole case of the tape and the reason Sadako does what she does etc etc is left a little bland for my taste ???

Can't wait to read it![/color]

I'm reading Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. I'm only about 80 pages in so I haven't made up my mind as to whether It appeals to me yet.
