Mort by Terry Pratchett

2 people recommended this item

Description

My introduction to Terry Pratchett's world was through Mort too. The title was too much to ignore and the synopsis was too irresistible to put the book back on the shelf. I'm glad I read this amazingly funny book and was introduced to the inhabitants of Pratchett's crazy world.

Next by Michael Crichton

3 people recommended this item

Description

Law and science. Crichton brings these together in a highly contentious situation - can a company own a part of a living human? The battles waged here are almost a prediction of things to come as the world delves deeper into gene therapy. It's a scary thought, but someone's gotta bring it up.

The Traveler, by John Twelve Hawks

2 people recommended this item

Description

I picked up this book not really knowing what to expect and found myself drawn into the world of harlequins and other things off the grid. The Traveler is a suspenseful adventure focusing on two brothers and their conflicting race for knowledge and power.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

Description

The Historian is one of those beautifully descriptive novels that enchants you with the surroundings where the story takes place while pursuing something dark within. The book takes you on a journey through eastern Europe and through tales of legends and the present. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Can You Keep a Secret?

Description

This is a great book about secrets - how they're made, told, exposed... there are all sorts of secrets in there and it made me think of a few of my own too. A fun read for those long journeys to work.

I love watching Nigella cook. She's big on comfort food and not feeling guilty about eating anything. Nigella Bites was the first cookbook I bought and I love the stuff she dishes out, especially the all day breakfasts.
