I'm currently re-reading - PS I Love you. For once I actually enjoyed the film as well as the book.
After this though, I'd like something new to read. What are you reading at the mo and would you recommend it to others? |

Agreed I liked both the book and the movie.
I would recommend 'The horse whisperer' a brilliant book by Nicholas Evans. The film is also very good starting handsome Robert Redford.

I really loved Apple Tree Yard last year. I can't say too much as it will give it away.
I've just started Elizabeth Is Missing, which is a twist on the mystery genre as the protagonist has dementia.

You should read The magic of reality by Richard Dawkins or Paolo Coelho The Alchemist both incredible books (although now that I've put them together like that they seem rather contradictory lol) x |

"Try and of the Jeeves and Wooster series by the inimitable PG Wodehouse.  "
I remember my grandfather reading all of those. You should go up to London Tina and watch the play. I'll have a look at the books too. |

 Not read the book 'Chocolat' but the film is indeed worth watching with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche. |

The stage show is very funny. I went at the start of the run and it is very clever in its execution.
I haven't read any of the books for many years but I enjoyed them 30 years ago.

Anything by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a gorgeous book that I devoured in one sitting on a bus journey.
I enjoyed Gareth Powell's Ack Ack Macaque books, about a monkey spitfire pilot.
Emma Newman's 'Split Worlds' series is fantastic - magic meets Victorian.
Apocalypse Cow is a hilarious read - Shaun of the Dead, but with cows. What's not to love?
I'm currently doing Harry Potter Book Club, a fantastic series that I've read so many times  |

Nobody True by James Herbert
An ordinary man has an "out of body experience". When his spirit returns he finds his body has been murdered. Lingering in the real world, he learns that the killer now plans to murder his family. Despite his lack of a physical body, he must find a way to prevent this from happening.
A little weird in places but very readable
I think there's a film in the pipeline now  |

I'm off to see the stage show with my folks this year, but not in London. Great minds think alike |

'Hell's Angel', bio of Sonny Barger. Gritty account of the early days of motorcycle clubs from the guy who started the Hells Angels. Writing is pretty poor but it paints a good picture.

Oh I agree with Pratchett, Gaiman and Sophie Kinsella books.
Also I recommend Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series. Magic realism in London. I *think* it's being adapted for television. |

I tried reading Terry Pratchett many times, his books appeal to me but unfortunately being a French native, reading him is very difficult. I just get confused lol  |

He does play on the absurd British customs/habits etc so I can see why that would be confusing |
