Book List

[starrylizard]

I never remember what I've read, so I'm just starting a list that I'll add to as I finish a book (or throw it away in disgust as the case may be). In other words, skip over this post. It's really just a reference post for me.


September 2010
- Deception Point by Dan Brown
Notes: A quick read where no brain power is required. Fast-paced, but predictable and unbelievable.

October 2010
- The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
- The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Notes: Both awesome!

November 2010
- A Study in Scarlett/The Sign of Four (Sherlock Holmes) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

December 2010
- The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sherlock Holmes) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
- Temple by Matthew Reilly
Notes: Not as good as Ice Station. Sort of Indiana Jones meets James Bond. All action and a little bit silly. Blood loss means nothing to these heroes.

January 2011
- Moab is my Washpot by Stephen Fry
Notes: Fry writes much like he speaks. Rambly, homely and full of his trademark fabulous vocabulary that has you reaching for the dictionary every few pages. This makes it a pleasure to read, though occasionally frustrating for the same reasons. It is most definitely honest and heart-felt.
- Mr Midshipman Hornblower by C. S. Forester

February 2011
- The Valley of Fear (Sherlock Holmes) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
