    Depends what sort of stuff you want to read

    all of dan brown books are interesting prefer angels and demons to the da vinci code :)

    im really getting into "go away you fucking germ" by dan jullio at the moment. the veiws are highly pedantic but imo are completley justified by the tossers he is writing about

    quite good if you can get over all the shite scottish implied accents/words...

    i would've thought the gg lot would think books are for 'the gays'

    but then most of whats been mentioned has been drug related or dan brown :lol:

    Not a huge fan of Dan Brown tbh, decent stories but his style of writing doesn\'t do anything for me

    Recently I\'ve read, Hitchikers Trilogy, all 4 of them, The Time Travellers Wife, 1984 and Choke

    Re: Books...

    I've read all of those except Warren Fellow's - i enjoyed the one's you did so mayhaps i'll give that a read, (who the fuck says mayhaps?!) i fancy somehting different to read.

    I want to read that J-Peg has anyone read it? Can't remember the author.
