Welcome to Edge's Book Club!

YOU started a book club?! Before you met me the closest you got to reading was game cases...I'm impressed!

I like David Nicholls books too - One Day is an amazing amazing read, up there for my favourite-ist ever book ever Starter for 10 is good (although the terrible film might have destroyed that for me! ) and The Understudy was enjoyable too, but One Day is simply amazing.

Ben Elton, some of his books stand out as being very good (Blind Faith is one of my favourites of his, but I liked Inconceivable too) whereas others are simply readable / enjoyable. I haven't read one I haven't enjoyed yet though.

I'm reading The Time Travellers' Wife at the moment, which I was a bit uncertain about reading and put it off for a while as the person who gave it to me didn't reckon much of it. I LOVE it so far, I'm over halfway through and though the storyline is a little odd I'm really enjoying it!

The Book Of Lost Things is a favourite of mine too, a friend who only reads books once gave it to me after she enjoyed it, and when I fell in love said I could keep it It's a very different story, and I definitely recommend! When I first started reading it I thought it was a kids' fairytale, but it's really not, there are some pretty chilling and gruesome events that take place!

I've read a lot of Stephen King books, but they either seem to be really good, or really unremarkable. That's my take on them anyway. Even the good books have large passages that are dull, boring and that I often end up skipping! I loved Under the Dome, despite it being HUGE and taking me weeks to read, I loved The Green Mile and have been reading it a few times a year since I was very young, and I enjoyed Dolores Claiborn (spelling?), Pet Cemetery and Misery.

And my all-time favourite book is a biography called Stuart: a life backwards. It's the true story of a man's life from adult to child. He's violent, often homeless and psychotic but it's a very touching story. The only thing that ruins it for me are the illustrations added to the book by the author

Hello edge I thought I might join your book club too although I am not sure if we will read the same books! I have read a few Stephen King books though I have read Dolores Claiborne also and It which I thoutght was rather good. I have just read a book called The Weight of Silence that I have really enjoyed I think it was written by Heather something it's a very sad story with a happy ending. I have not read any Ben Elton books. I have seen One Day but thought it might not be very good but maybe I will give it a try now!

I am re-reading the Harry Potter books currently

And also Edge is making me read The Dice Man, which I'm REALLY not enjoying!

Keshi would like to join the book club, he is reading Harry Potter too

I hated the Dice Man so much...yes, I have given up on it! I think I got about a third of the way through...definitely not for me!

Haha its really not!

I've read a lot of books recently...

Goodbye Maple St - I bought this for 70p from the kindle store, and it was really really good! In fact I liked it so much I reviewed it It was quite gritty and depressing even, but brilliant.

Peckham Cry - I got this for 70p from the kindle store too, as it was recommended if I liked the first book (different authors though). It was okay...readable but not great, with a pretty poor ending...

Casual Vacancy - J.K Rowling's new book, which Lyle got me for Christmas. I wanted it to be rubbish haha, but its actually really really good...possibly my favourite book ever!!

Panoptican - currently readin this. Goes from being very good to abysmal...and the main character Is Scottish, and the authior has spelt some of the words phonetically (which I always hate!) and uses Scottish slang words that I have no idea what they are!
