What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk II

Scroll to see replies

I've watched the recent film version.. not sure how much it differs from the old one, but Gary oldman as George Smiley is amazing

No no, that's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy again. :tongue:

The 'old one' we were talking about is an adaptation of The Spy Who Came in from The Cold. The former doesn't have an old movie version, just a TV adaptation by the BBC.

Gary Oldman as anything is amazing. :sogood:

And yeah, I really want to watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. That's the main reason I decided to get and read The Spy Who Came in from The Cold right away. :yep:

Anna Karenina. I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but I'm about a third if the way through and actually getting into it!

Well...i've just downloaded a bunch of kindle books, but I don't know which one to read first.

I've narrowed it down to a contest between 'Lady Chatterly's Lover' and 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Colms.

Which one is better?

With good reason.

Kinda got two going: Alex's Adventures in Numberland (Alex Bellos), really good. Fairly light, quite easy, best if you like Maths though.

The Last Juror (John Grisham), it's O.K, certainly not an action packed read, but relaxing and light - just what I need with internal exams looming.

Dicken's A tale of two cities.

Just finished Inheritance, a very good ending to the series I thought. I ought to read more fantasy.

Now onto the God Collar by Marcus Bridgstock, half for uni half because it's easier reading than Plato but still course relevant.

Yup, exactly the experience I had with it. Almost jealous of you, except I have 1Q84.

Ooh I've heard great things about 1Q84 on here, and Norwegian Wood, so I've put them both on my list now. Enjoy! :smile:

Good to see more Murakami fans here! Wild Sheep Chase is good too.

Not technically reading this...I'm listening to the radio adaptation as I need something on in the background whilst I work :work:

but 'The House of Silk' - Anthony Horowitz

Description from the radio 4 website:

Spoiler

There are good holmes adaptations (the most recent film & the 'Sherlock' tv series spring to mind) and some awful ones. The endorsement & Horowitz' prior work is making me think this will be an awesome one :yep:
