Good Omens - because someone recommended it to me here on Booktalk.

I Hate Dune, both book and film, but love David Lynch ... Loved the book To Kill A Mocking Bird, so now I will have to see the film, and I blame this thread :-) The best film version of a book must be Kubrick's The Shining, the Stephen King book is awful though.

Re: how often do you guys read a book?
Always and all the time. Often two books at a time.
I tend to buy in bulk and then have a pile on my night stand. After reading the thread "Your Five Favourite Books" here on Booktalk, I shopped and bought 10 books. Love books.

Strange discussion, why not talk about the real issues?

Re: Avid reader from Denmark joins BookTalk!
I'd love to learn more about life in Denmark so hopefully you stick around. Some of my clients are from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and I've heard the standard of living there is quite high.

Try reading Midnight's Children - in some ways it is even better than The Satanic Verses.

Don't read Dune, I've tried several times and lost the battle each time.
