Re: What book are you reading now?

Am I the only one who reads several books at a time?

Ive got an Ian Rankin (Rebus) novel on the go.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales Oliver Sacks
and The demented brain (dealing with problem behaviour) Vd Plaats and De Boer.

Ian Rankin is fun and the other two are insightful..

When you get as old as me, you'll forget characters and storylines when you're reading only one book!

No I also read a few books at a time it depends on what mood I am in as to what I want to read.

I am half way through The Lake House by Kate Morton it has 600 pages so will take me a while.

I am reading at work The Sunrise by Victoria Hislop

and on my ereader I am reading:
A Second Chance by Jodi Taylor - very small writing so need to be a bit awake to see this - tried to change the font but it wont let me. and
Cappuccinos, Cupcakes and a Corpse by Harper Lin

They are all so different so don't get them mixed up.

Re: What book are you reading now?

Gracious, I couldn't possibly do that I'd get in a dreadful muddle!!!
I've read the Hislop, it's a real eye opener about the history of Cyprus and the political struggles, I had no idea...

And I've also read several books by Kate Norton but I'm not sure I've read this one..Her stories are always captivating.

Do you keep a record of books you've read?

Re: What book are you reading now?

I'm another one who couldn't possibly concentrate on more than one book at a time. I've read 'The Island' by Hislop but nothing more recent by her. May have a look. Just started 'Guns, Germs and Steel' by Jared Diamond. I read part of it a few years ago and the book disappeared, so getting back into it.

I used to keep a diary of the books I'd read and give them a star rating but I've read so many that the diary began to look like an encyclopedia.!

Re: What book are you reading now?

I am keeping a log of the books that I have read over the last few years, but when I get new ones I try not to go back more than a couple of years anyway.

I agree the Sunrise is a big eye opener about what occurred in Greece.

The Kate Morton book I found a bit difficult at first because it keeps going back in time and then forward in time. Remembering who everyone was a challenge. But once I concentrated moving on quite quickly with it now.

It helps that hubby is at work three nights a week so I get a bit of reading in.

Sorry for the above and putting Greece when I obviously meant Cyprus.
