    Whoops, my mistake :superlaugh:

    ETA: It won't let me edit that post for some reason, so I can't fix it.

    its because you are still a new member , it takes 2o posts and 14 days until you can edit (so tommorow then)

    But I just edited my previous post, is it like you can only edit it for a certain amount of time or something?

    yeah when you're a new member its 10 minutes or something ... its an anti spam thing, once you are an established member you can edit anytime (and its automated so nothing personal)

    How do you like it? That's one of King's books that I haven't read, but I've been looking at it on my shelf thinking about it recently.

    I'm enjoying it. One story in particular I really enjoyed, quite the emotional rollercoaster. And one was a little meh.

    Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale (not tail).

    Only got as far as chapter three, but I'm already totally bowled over by her writing. It is so beautiful.

    I got John Grisham's 'The Whistler' from the library the other day and I have to say I'm just a little disappointed. For someone of his reputation the writing's a little weak.

    I'm currently reading "Leota's Garden" by Francine Rivers. It's a short little tale about how Leota, an aging, miserable old woman is put up to a final test : to rebuild her shattered family and revive the beautiful garden that had gotten her through the hard times.

    I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through the book. Honestly one of my favorite books to date.

    I read that a few years ago, loved it.


    Just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo over the weekend. Mostly because it was free as part of a promotional offer on kindle. I quite liked it, so I'll probably read the rest of the series when I get a chance.

    I read that about a year ago. I got all the way through it before I realized the copy I had was missing the last 10 or so pages and had to wait a couple of months to find out how it finished. There were a couple of loose plot htreads that never got tied up, but overall I rather liked it.

    Right now I'm reading The Rats by James Herbert. It's horrible, but in the best way possible.

    I read that whole trilogy back when I was into horror. I don't remember much about the first two, but the third one, ouch.
