if crime is your thing try ian rankin, he's brill.

[JennyPen]

as far as crime books go, the best has to be (in my mind) James Patterson - although Reginald Hill is great, he wrote the Dalziel and Pascoe books which have been serialised on BBC, they're brilliant!http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/crime/dalziel/ have a look!

look up reginald hill on amazon.co.uk they're all there... the best ones are deadheads, a killing kindness and a clubbable woman!

[Tree]

reginald hill rocks!!!

just finished fall of hyperion, now starting endymion, one more book to go after that

[Lord Raath]

Am currently reading A Clash of Kings from the Game of Thromes series, Stuid White Men and some book set on a planet called Pern (can't remember the name of it, A Clash of Kings is sucking up all my reading time...).

[Vampira]

im currently re-reading Bitch by Elizabeth Wurtzel.
It's a feckin cool book. it's about how women have been stigmatised throughout the ages.
It's written in essay form and theres about 6 or 7 essays dealing with women from delila, Nicole brown simpson, hilary clinton et al.
Highly recommended.

[Demios]

Hellboy:Odd Jobs - Various Horror Writers.

Very good book for comic fans.

[Faith]

Maya Angelou- I know why the caged bird sings. Hate that book, but have to reread it for English exam on Thursday. Hehe, just got my mum to buy me Kenneth Branaghs AND Mel Gibsons versions of Hamlet on video for revision purposes also! I'm lovin Kenneth Branaghs one! (Sorry, a bit off topic.)

[Demios]

They recently made another adaptation of Hamlet recently staring Ethan Hawke, very interesting it was, a modern take on a classical story.
Good but not spectacular the the mentioned previous two, Branaghs in particular, although Gibson was a pretty good broody Hamlet.

[Faith]

Saw the Ethan Hawke one in town alright, but I'm not sure will I watch it. It might ruin my idea of Hamlet and fuck up my ability to answer on it in the leaving cert!

[Vampira]

im reading the united burger states of america by peter biddlecombe
