No don't think so jo61! After a while the sex does get boring but as there really isn't much more to Fifty Shades it's hard not to read about her "chewing her lip" which sends him off again. Anyone who has read book will know what I mean!

thank you for your suggestions ,off to library,

I loved reading 'A thousand Splendid suns' wow, what a book, I cried after, also 'Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop cafe'- a real 'chick book. A stunning read.

Two fantastic books, Valient! Have you seen the film of Fried Green Tomatoes? It's one of my favourite films.

I saw the film, it was good, and then I read the book which I think is better. I love Jessica Tandy- the elderly lady and the part when Kathy Bates ran her car into another one, oh I laughed.
I enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha-  not one I would pick really but it was a wonderful story- history, love, hardhip, passion, jealousy- phewie. A book I read in  a weekend- I kept sneaking upstairs to just read a chapter, once agin i cried when It was finished, I always cry at a good book or beautiful music but rarely at sad stuff. I think i'm a bit strange!
I love the CJ Sansom books- medieval detective stuff, looking forward to the next one, loved the Boy in the striped Pajamas too but it was harrowing.
I like the victoria Hislop stories, I could go on....
You could say I'm a bit of a book worm!

Can recommend Rachel Hore especially "A Place of Secrets" set in Norfolk.

Valient, loved 'The island' by V Hislop as did all my girls. A thousand Splendid Suns is a fantastic book. Could never read about the concentration camps until I read Viktor Frankl's book 'Man's search for meaning' for my course. It's a survivors tale without any tear jerking stuff, uplifting. I will try CJ Sansom books as we seem to have same taste. Memoirs of a Geisha was great too. I thought that the film of Fried Green Tomatoes was well done as I knew the book was excellent. Such great actors.

My friend lent me the 50 shades. I found it a bit 'flat' and boring. I'm thinking of writing '46 shades of magnolia'-
' Abland tale of moderate passion, flanelette nighties and hot water bottles'
.Oh and a cup of cocoa!
