What kind of book are you reading?
I'm interested in what other people read and if there are any good books anyone can reccommend?
I am currently reading return of the king by Tolkein, I have read fellowship of the ring and two towers, before that I read the hobbit as it was a pretty good introduction to lord of the ringd and middle earth and so on.

I have read most of the Harry Potter books, not to a lot of *adults* taste but I enjoyed them
I have been reccommended a book called UGLY, so I may buy that.
I bought Labrynth not long ago but haven't started reading it yet.
Being a female I do tend to read historical romance novels too hehe

I am currently re-reading High Fidelity, as I've not read it for a while.
I need to get down to Chapters and get a few more books as I've re-read all the books I've got an am getting a little bored, having said that, I might re-read Vurt one more time as I do so enjoy it.

Moondust by Andrew Smith.
In 1999, Andrew Smith was interviewing Charlie Duke, astronaut and moon walker, for the Sunday Times. During the course of the interview, which took place at Duke's Texan home, the telephone rang and Charlie left the room to answer it. When he returned, some twenty minutes later, he seemed visibly upset. It seemed that he'd just heard that, the previous day, one of his fellow moon walkers, the astronaut Pete Conrad, had died. The more Charlie spoke the more Andrew realised that his grief was something more than the mere fact of losing a friend. 'Now there's only nine of us' he said. Only nine. Which meant that, one day not long from now, there would be none, and when that day came, no one on earth would have known the giddy thrill of gazing back at us from the surface of the moon. The thought shocked Andrew, and still does. Moondust is his attempt to understand why. The Apollo moon programme has been called the last optimistic act of the 20th Century. Over a strange three year period between 1969 and 1972, 12 men made the longest and most eccentric of all journeys, and all were indelibly marked by it.In Moondust Andrew sets out to interview all the remaining astronauts who walked on the moon, and to find out how their lives were changed for ever by what had happened. 'Where do you go after you've been to the moon?' In addition to this question that would prove hugely troubling to many of the returned astronauts, they also had to deal with the fantasies of faceless millions at their backs, for this was the first truly global media event. The walkers would forever be caught between the gravitational pull of the moon and the earth's collective dreaming.

Just read The Bachman Books by Stephen King and The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Short Stories by Tim Burton. The Tim Burton book is very short (10 mins max) but very funny in places.
