The sequel to this called 'After the Party'. The first was brilliant and am loving the sequel so far.

An American volunteer for the Republic in the Spanish Civil War, he joins a band of guerillas in the mountains to prepare to blowing up an important bridge. I'd recommend it although Hemmingway's writing style is a bit unorthodox, took me a while to get into it

finished Much Ado About Nothing...was a bit farfetched. Even by Shakespeare's standards. Did like Beatrice and Benedick's banter though, even if a lot of it was a little too obsessed with the cuckolding jokes.

James Patterson - Big Bad Wolf
a gripping read about an internet site where those rich enough can order "people" to be kidnapped to order in order to sexually abuse them, and ultimately kill them (a twist on the Hostel type theme).

I've only just started reading his Cross books, though I've seen Morgan Freeman in Along Came A Spider and Kiss the Girls which I thought were really good films. Love his writing style. About to start reading Violets are Blue.

I have started reading "I never fancied him anyway" by Claudia Carroll. It's a good read so far. About a 28 year old woman who can see into other people's futures. Her and her friends are trying to find a "DSM" lol!

The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler,I'm doing a romanticism for an English project so I figure this is a pretty good book to reading at the moment and it was on my to-read shelf anyways.
