Kinky La Rue

….having sex and talking about books.

That was today’s appointment. Fantastic. Inbetween rounds client and I discussed my recommendations in my previous entry of the Stieg Larsson trilogy, saying he may actually buy them. I was chuffed to hear somebody listening to my ramblings and acknowledge them.  We were also lamenting the demise of the bookshop as we know it. Quite a few of them closed during the recession, Borders and Books Etc. to name a couple, although they are of the same company. At least Waterstone’s still seem to be going strong. But with being able to buy books cheaper on-line, I’m not really suprised.

Anyway, hope you do buy them M,  and as I’ve mentioned before, use Play.com or The Book Depository, not Amazon who charges for delivery. Their prices are similar, if not cheaper.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon and happy reading.x

If you haven’t already gents, for your summer reading, may I recommend the trilogy that starts with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Absolutely brilliant stuff. There’s not a book I haven’t been unable to put down for a while and the 2nd and 3rd in this trilogy have been unputdownable. They’re written by the late (great) Stieg Larsson and he was actually in the middle of writing a fourth novel when he passed away prematurely (I think he was only in his forties). The first novel did take some time for me to get into, but once in I was riveted. Highly recommended.

I also read Tess Gerritsen’s Keeper of the Bride (meh!) and her latest The Killing Place (much better). I’m now on David Baldacci’s True Blue and I have also bought Stephen King’s Under the Dome. I was a little reticent about buying it, I don’t feel he’s written a decent novel in years. But the guy in the bookshop assures me it’s as good as The Stand, which I feel was his finest work, so that sold me and the critique on the cover reads well. It’s a hefty book though, so that’ll take some time. And I still have Karin Slaughter’s latest novel to get too.

But if you’re stumped for something to read, read the Millenium trilogy by Stieg Larsson. Honest, you won’t be able to put them down. Btw, the 2nd and 3rd’s way better than the first.

The latest novel by Mo Hayder, Skins, arrived in the post this morning. When I opened it, I sighed and I could’ve sworn I also had a little orgasm. Just a mini one. I’ve been waiting ages for her new novel to come out in paperback and it was good to finally have it in my hands.

I’m reading Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo at the moment, given to me by my landlady and it’s taken a while for me to get into. But she assured me today that the point I’m now up to just gets better from there. It better do, else I’m casting it aside and going back to Mo.
