    The Last Child by John Hart

    I just ordered "Shantaram" from the library, it will be here soon.

    I am currently reading "Father of the Rain" about a daughters relationship with her alcoholic father. Its a very good book so far...
    :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

      Shantaram is a very good read 9. A very unique book. I'll hold back on a critique as it may spoil the narrative for you. We can compare notes later!

        The Last Child by John Hart

        My brother has been trying to get me to read Shantaram for about a year now, but he always tells me too much of the plot, so I have to wait then till I forget, then he tells me again, and so it goes on...maybe I will read it now!

        I loved The Book Thief - tis a sad one though.

        I just read The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton - a good, fairly light read, bit of a mystery that jumps from early 20th century to 2005 and back.

        One of my all time favs is Gone with the Wind - i still remember reading it, i just loved it.

        Ethan Hawke's book Ash Wednesday was really good. And I know I've mentioned it a million times already, but The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is my book of the year so far.

        Books are my favourite "thing" in the whole world - I'd happily by pass any number of clothes shops just to sit in a book shop or a library for a few hours.

          I read Shantaram and really enjoyed it until the last couple of chapters. The writing was great and so was the story, it was more wishing the narrator/protagonist had gone a different way (trying HARD to give an opinion without a spoiler!). Will be interested to hear what others have to say once you're through it K9 (and maybe Neart ).

              It sounds like I should give Shantaram a try. It looks very interesting. My only concern is that my ADD will baulk at staying focused for 900+ pages!

              Right now I am reading Rich Boy and I am planning to read Cutting for Stone               next.

                  I just put Rich Boy on hold at the library, and I tried to request Cutting for Stone...turns out I already had a request for it...duh.

                  Speaking of 900+ pages, has anybody read Pillars of the Earth? There's another one called World Without End that is kind of a prelude to Pillars of the Earth. It's 1,000 pages and my sister just finished it and she couldn't say enough about it! I guess I will (gulp) start that one next...1,000 pages!!! :egad:

                    I just checked (I am a nerd) - the longest book I read was Gone with the Wind - 1011 pages (and really small print, so that counts as extra). Mind you, I adored every second of that book and didn't want it to end. Guess it depends on how good the book is, at the end of the day!

                    I haven't heard of Pillars of the Earth - whats it about?

                      I have never read Gone with the Wind or saw the movie either....

                      I saw Shantaram in the thrift shop for 50 cents..actually saw Pillars of the earth too, might pick them up now!

                      I have just finished The Sisterhood by Emily Barr.....I enjoyed it thoroughly.

                        I am half-way through reading this book and I am loving it. I've never read anything written by John Hart before - he really knows how to draw you in and keep your attention.
