Sea of Monsters

This is book two in the 5 book series enjoyed by JoanK's 11 year old grandson (see post 1997 if you care). I've read the first 4, and they're pretty good.

Snow
by
Orham Pamuk

Pamuk is the fabulous Turkish Author who won the Nobel Prize for his writing and particularly for his book "My Name is Red".
(But perhaps I am preaching to the choir?)

Gumtree · « **Reply #2057 on:** July 28, 2010, 04:38:23 AM »

Yes Jude -definitely to the choir. We discussed Snow some time back. There was a mixed reaction to that book as some couldn't quite get to grips with it. But that's often the way when it comes to work by Nobel Prize winners. Their writing has so many levels that it's sometimes hard to fathom the depths.

Waiting for Godot

Samuel Beckett

on SnoW

Ian McKellen's production of Godot was playing here a couple of months ago. I didn't go as prices were huge but my son and his crowd went and gave it rave reviews making me wish I'd emptied my wallet to buy a couple of tickets.

The Left Hand of God

by Paul Hoffman

on the L

A new book that looked interesting, but reader reviews are mostly down. First part is reported very good but it gets into trouble later on. Most reviewers agreed that the book didn't need to be so long. Anyone here read it? I'd put in the fantasy catagory.
