I agree, Illusions is a great book. went on to read 'Seagul' which was good and 'One' which wasnt but Illusions is one of my favourite reads of all time.

Nice thread
Recently I read a terrific book..."Saturday" by Ian McEwan.......clever plot and works on a couple of levels...everyone knows "Atonement" but his classic, to my mind...is "Endless Love"
A book you MUST read if you never read is is "The Life of Pi" by Yan Mantel. It is quite simply the cleverest plot device I have ever read with a fantastic ending that will leave you gasping.

I remember reading a review that called this book devious, how can a book/story be devious, it is what it is. Needless to say I tried it. A truly interesting read that can simply be called stunning and yes devious. I agree a must read. I have recently finished The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios, I believe his first title, a amazing display of emotion on the page. The Aids story is breathtaking, and the pain in the last story there for all to see. I am not sure its entertaining but worth a look just for the power he creates on the page. Please stop the book threads I am surrounded by unread books as it is. |

I would start with something like Love Actually.
If you cope with the plot OK we will move you on to the more advanced stuff next week.
Careful though its emotional stuff.

No NO NO, Love actually intertwines five stories in one arresting film made watchable by the beguiling "Eliza Doolitlle" type performance of Martine McCutcheon and the entirely believable conceit that Hugh Grant is not miscast as a Prime Minister
Its altogether on too high a level.......
I'd start him off on "Shrek"...colours, songs...what more could you ask for?

I'm still struggling with the-is thread and the concept that so many poker players can read..............the people I normally play with at my local casino must be a bad mis representation of poker players as a whole........ As I will probably be spending a lot of time at Brighton not playing poker this weekend I will now be trawling the bookshops. |
