Default What book are you reading?

What book are you reading now? I am reading Call The Midwife by Jennifer Worth. True stories about women and children in 50's East End London. It's funny, real, horrifying and tragic. I love autobiographies of ordinary people

I've got 2 on the go - 206 bones Kathy Reichs - nice bit of suspense and forensic pathology and Running wild by Michael Morpurgo based on a true story about a boy and his elephant during the tsunami

Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami (again)

absolutely amazing if you havent read it. really odd fantasy, set in mundane japan provinces. Murakami is one of my favorite authors of modern times.

....A man with learning disadvantages can hear the thoughts of cats, and coz he's not clever enough to get a real job, he sets up his own cat finding business for when peoples pets go missing by asking the alley cats if they have seen anyone matching the descriptions he gives them. How endearing! But thats just a side story. There are loads of other bits and bobs going on too. I'm sure if you give it a chance you'll all love it.

and George Orwell - 1984
i make a thing of reading this atleast twice a year
