What a fantastic idea for people to recommend books. I have bought new paperbacks in book shops, only to be disapointed after a few pages. It then seems such a waste of money.

Hi Patricia, I'd love to join a book club and did look locally to see of there were any around. However I'm worried that I wouldn't have time to read and do my FH and be on the boards at the same time as working full time! Naomi (with not enough time on her hands)

Me too Patricia - I love all the Irish authors, but also all the modern 'chick lit'. I know it's escapism and doesn't really educate me - but it's fun!! I also love Bill Bryson - I would never normally read a travel book, but I feel I've learnt quite a bit by way of his wonderful sense of humour.

I loved The Pilots Wife by Anita Shreave. Also some of the Irish authors i.e. Maeve Binchy and Patricia Scanlon

Bill Bryson is one of my favourites, apart from being an interesting travel writer, I really love his sense of humour. Lynda

One of my favourites is Never Look Back by Lesley Pearce. All her books are good but that one in particular. Julie (in a cloudy, damp Maidstone, Kent)

How about a book club? I've just finished a good one, The Secret Hour by Leanne Rice. Very good if you like a light thriller, mystery.
