Reading suggestions

You probably know, but I feel I always need to mention it - anything that is out of copyright you can usually find for free (either on Amazon, or sites like Project Gutenberg - I found quite a few of my uni texts that way ).

Also, if you go on Amazon Local UK (it is like a voucher/deal site along the lines of wowcha) there are often free vouchers to get books - they are usually limited to certain ones but you can get some good ones. You just need an amazon account.

In keeping with your above theme, and free, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are adapting Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost - it's a short story, but quite amusing, and it can be free.

I've just read a selection of books by Jasper Fforde - he is absolutely wonderful. The Thursday Next series is great, she's a literary detective in an alternate 1985 - there is time travel, mystery, action and romance. Plus Classic characters popping out of books!

What do you think of 50 Shades so far?

@Sparklegirl Said

So far I like it, good story but I've not read it in months

@JamieP Said

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

@Silver_Lining Said

I've seen Kite Runner listed in top book lists. I shall keep an eye out for both of them, thanks.

@JamieP Said

Both also movies, in keeping with your theme

I had that at some point and now can't remember if I actually finished it.
