When I flew to QLD for Summit, I sat down next to a lovely lady who turned out to be an avid reader, like me. The only thing I like almost as much as reading is talking about books. Any other ...
The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood. Read it years ago, swore i'd never read it again cos it was so intense. It's now been made into a 10 part series on SBS on demand. Re read it and watched the series...loved it. Anything by Rosalie Ham (The Dressmaker) the book is way better than the movie though a lot darker. Joanne Harris is good (Chocolat) there are a further two books in that series just as good as the first. Currently reading The Walworth Beauty by Michele Roberts which is set in 2 time eras in London. My go to book for all time is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. i just love the way she pokes fun at the aristocracy. My list could go on. if you're into Sci fantasy Games of Thrones is not bad though i got really bored by about half way through book 5...i think every time he couldn't think what to do with a character he knocked them off though my favourite, Arya, is still alive.
