What to read next?

Posted by NikkiT2 on October 8, 2005, at 17:28:04

The choices are:

"Small Island" by Andrea Levy (Just won the Orange prize for best of the orange prize winners of the last 10 years I think it was)

"Cloud atlas" by David Mitchell

"Big Bang" by Simon Singh

"Oh Play That Thing, Roddy Doyle""

(for some reason, it refuses to pick up the Roddy Doyle book, which is rather annoyiing me! I've tried all kinds of things to fix it, but it just won't list it!!)

I've been buying magazines ofr the past 4 days because I can't decide *L*

I've heard good things about Cloud Atlas. I'm currently reading Guy Davenport's "The Death of Picasso" which is pretty reasonable. I just want to mention again what an excellent book W. G. Sebald's "The Rings of Saturn" is. One of a kind, I suspect.

hi nikki

i am not sure what book you should read next. i just thought i would say hi. i am an old member and we corresponded a few years ago. it was something about nhs waiting lists since we are both brits. i hope they are somewhat shorter for you now. Since this is the book link i should suggest something. i have always liked clive barker but i dont think hes to everyones taste.

Hi Paul,

But waiting lists ahve NOT improved (though my service is good and its no longer than a months wait)

Hope things are good with you :)
