Saturday by Ian McEwan … for the second time.
I’ve read most of his, and most of those I’ve read more than once. Some have been made into very good movies too. 
The book is always better of course.
The only film I have ever watched that is better than the book was one of his, “Atonement”. The book was awful.
I like them both -book & film- for different reasons.
But my favourite part of both is events the first day, the rich kids arriving at the big house, the housekeeper’s son becoming one of them them then getting blamed for what he didn’t do.
That was followed by some superb Dunkirk action in the film, something that kinda passed my by in the book.
Just to think I could carry all those books around with me in my travels, in my kindle.
I bought a cupboard to put my Terry Pratchett books in:lol:
The paperbacks are behind the hard backs.
Wow 
44 plus 
A lot 
with “Unseen Academicals” in the middle - the first his book I read ( it made me laugh a lot ) 
Special Terry’s cupboard
Actually counting those I can see 57, but there are a lot more behind those too. I have read every single one, some more than once.
57 plus :surprised: It’ll take me ages to read all his books I’m a slow reader.
I did start reading Terry Pratchett many years ago, Alice. I read books all the time.
I am now reading the second book in the Catteni series, Freedom’s Choice by Anne McCaffrey. Finished the first book this morning. I also have a great many of her books also. Favourites will always be her Pern books though.
I’m almost half way through “The Truth” at the moment
Did you finish reading the second book in the Catteni series ? ;-)
I’m half way through the latest Mark Billingham’s “DI Tom Thorne” paperback “Their Little Secret”.
Still reading it, Alice, but nearly finished. Haven’t got the third book, thought I had it but can’t find it, but I have the fourth & last in the series so will read that one next. I do sort of remember the story anyway.
How are you doing with The Truth?
I did love the Tiffany series, first was Wee Free Men. Those books are about the Discworld witches.
I like Tiffany character
“Yes! I’m me! I am careful and logical and I look up things I don’t understand! When I hear people use the wrong words I get edgy! I am good with cheese. I read books fast! I think! And I always have a piece of string! That’s the kind of person I am!” - The Wee Free Men.
I thought about you “I read books fast!” 
“From Byfleet to the Bush” - Jacqueline Pearce.
Amazon delivered this used copy of Jacqueline’s autobiography today. Her performance as the hapless Alice in Hammer’s underated " Plague of the Zombies" made quite an impression after being allowed to stay up for the late night horror film one Saturday night during the early 70’s. Brooding stuff!
I am re-reading the very last book, that Terry Pratchett wrote, about Tiffany Aching, titled The Shepherd’s Crown.
I have just finished the book before this one, I shall Wear Midnight.
I’m re-reading, “The Secret Scripture” by Sebastian Barry. One of the best books I’ve read.
The descriptive language is excellent and the story emotive and compelling.
It’s written in alternate chapters about a 100year old Irish lady writing about her life and a doctor in the Mental Health facility she has lived in for decades trying to find out her history to decide if she could cope if she had to leave when the hospital is moved to new buildings with not enough room for all the patients.
I like that series, read most of them. 
“Their Little Secret” … is that the latest? don’t think I’ve read it. … yet.
I used to read a lot, but enjoying TV more nowadays … those drama series on iPlayer, mostly.
Been sorting my cellar out these past few days and came across a pile of books, one of which was, don’t ever tell, by I think Kathy o,brien, she was physically and mentally abused by her father beaten severely, then sent to a school ran by nuns, at seven she was raped by an older boy, and sexually abused by a priest at the school, sent to an asylum for further beatings and sexual abuse, before being sent to the infamous magdalin laundry, they were basically slaves, and treated as such, this was in Ireland in the 1970s, I’ve got to the point where, at fourteen she was raped by a visiting lay preacher and has just given birth to a baby girl, I’ve never been moved by a book so much before it was truly appalling the way they were treated by the people who were supposed to be caring for them, I can only liken the cruelty to the treatment metered out by the Japanese to the pows during the war, it’s all true , shocking, if you can find this book then I urge you to read it,
