Have you read The Lovely Bones?

Christopher Brookmyre is a clever author

and I love the wickedness of Carl Hiaasen

daronow: Loved that - she has a new one out, I believe and I must remember to get hold of a copy of it

lizziefrog: Not heard of him - thanks for the recommendation

athorp: Thanks Ann - I will have a look and see if I can find either of them

Have you read Brad Meltzer Book of Lies? I am listening to it on my iPod. i like it

drlaurie: This is great - getting suggestions of authors that are totally new to me. I'm going to make a list & then search ebay for them!

the life of pi and any Jodi Picoult book

megbg: I've read the Life of Pi and quite a few of Jodi Picoult's too, but not her recent ones

Last Empress of China; Red Tent are two favs

athorp: Eat, Pray Love is a great book! The Alchemist, is good too! A quick read!

crandall: Loved Red Tent - I did a dissertation at Uni about women in China & can't face reading anymore - even fiction!

colemama: knightlight Thanks for that - I'll take a look

How odd - I tried to respond to crandall as there was a plurk recommending Kite Runner & 1000 splendid suns, but they have both disappeared

We enjoyed the Twilight Series down my hall. Easy reading - Young Adult

I am also reading The Lovely Bones. It's good. Also, the movie (not out yet) was filmed less than a mile from my house

Sciteach: I'd forgotten that a film had been made of it - I wonder whether it will be any good

Just read Whatever Happened to Anna K. It is a modern adaptation of Anna Karinana

MelissaeKae: Ohh that sounds good - another for my list

Water for Elephants (Sarah Gruen) was a book I really enjoyed this year. I also like The Pilot's Wife (Anita Shreve).

I liked the pilot's wife - I hadn't heard of Sarah Gruen before so I will look out for it
