booklish

This week (month) we have Alexandra's Booklish booklist- thank you Alexandra! (Her site has also had a change of image, coincidentally).

So, I haven't read any of these! Anyone else?

Dangerous Parking - Stuart Browne
This book is truly wonderful, it's absolutely hilarious in places where you live through some of the main characters adventures. Including where he gets charged with 'dangerous parking' on a motorway. (I won't give away why!) The main character struggles with his health as he's damaged his liver through drinking and these moments of pain are beautifully expressed. The mix between showing someone's troubles with someone's best moments in their life make this an amazing read.
White Fang and The Call of The Wild - Jack London
Truly beautiful story about a wolf-dog who encounters kindness after years of mis-treatment.
To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf
Another classic. There's something very sombre and yet enthralling about this book.
Stephen King - The Dark Tower
A seven-book series about the adventures of Roland Deschain as he endeavours to find the Dark Tower, which he believes to be the nexus of all the worlds.... Fantastic creation that took Stephen King decades to complete.
The Solitaire Mystery - Jostein Gaarder
An adventure involving a magnifying glass, a secret book and a magic island! The pack of cards that are alive and running around the island are the best.
The Valkyries - Paulo Coelho
Most books from this author are great as the are different and make you think outside the box. This one is about a journey through the desert of which readers should make their own interpretation.

Wow, that was pretty eclectic! Do YOU have a Booklish booklist? Send it to me: dianewhatdoyoudoATgooglemailDOTcom (with the @ symbol and a dot instead of the words in letters- I know you know, but some people don't, 'k?)
