I'm just about coming to the end of Deborah Moggach’s book, Heartbreak Hotel. I found it a very enjoyable read and very amusing. But what should I read next? Any recommendations? 

I also wondered if anyone would be interested in a Club Together book club? According to a member survey earlier last year, reading is the most recurring leisure activity whilst caravanning. I know I’m a book worm and I’m sure there’s a few of us out there who enjoy a good read. Anyone interested or any suggestions?

I'm 2/3rds of the way thro' it. Both funny and serious. Will have to keep our eyes open for the 99p offer on fourth in the trilogy!!laughing

Just bought a book I read ages ago but now selling for £0.99 on Kindle

A big boy did it and ran away by Christopher Brookmyre

The author does like everyone to know how clever he is and there are times when I want the characters to speak in different ways rather than sound like they were taught by the same English teacher but the yarn is a good one and I still bought more of his books or borrowed them from the library and one or two or them ard laugh out funny, particularly One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night.

Since so many of you book worms appear to be re-reading books from your past Ive got the bug and will have to go back to the Thomas Covenant books and see if I can make a better job of the Second Chronicles this time around !!

Adrian Mole's been on the radio again. I've been listening to the "Prostrate Years" being read on Book at Bedtime, radio 4. I read the book a few years back, a mix of funny and sad and the usual acutely observant. I miss Sue Townsend's writing.

Quite a long time ago a former colleague gave me Bill Bryson's book The Road to Little Dribbling. It sits in the motorhome and now and then I read a chapter or two. I like Bryson books as we seem to share a similar sense of humour. Well today I finished the book so no more giggling out loud as I read it. Well worth a read if you don't mind an outsiders view of us Brits!!!

I love Bill Bryson's books David. Notes from a Small Island is a wonderful read.  I love his sense of humour.
