That's quite a haul Anne since it's only the 2nd of May!  I nearly got confused too, as the "Read in (month) " always goes up the beginning of the month rather than the end, like RISI |

I didn't read much in May in the end:
Prisoner of Tehran - Marina Nemat which I found fascinating.
I started and paused on Reading Lolita in Tehran, I'll probably come back to it this month.
I have made good headway with Gone with the wind though and hope to finish it in the next couple of weeks.

What did you think of Angels and Demons Katey? My son really enjoyed it although he did not manage to finish it before we saw the film - what he did read he thought was better than the film, although he enjoyed both. I read the book years ago and I do remember the book beginning was much better than the film version, but they just did not have the time to do the same beginning in the film. The rest of it, given that it was years apart, I though was quite well done incomparison. |

I enjoyed it Karen, I know it is not high literature, but it was a page turner, which it needed to be at 600 odd pages! I've still not seen the film yet-we hope to go this week.
