Current book

Lets open up and widen the number and type of books we are looking at for the next few months (drop by and leave a review whenever you have the time, the goal is to challenge yourself to read something new, something you otherwise might pass up on).

I've taken one book from each of the five booklists and have tried to include a variety of new, old, light and challenging books. Some of these you may have already read, if so drop a note and let us know what you thought of them. Some of these books you may have passen on previously thinking them too hard, well give it a try, you never know what you may discover.

From the Top 100 Challenged and banned books in the USA 1999-2000 The Chocolate War (I highly reccomend this one)

From the Top 100 SF/Fantasy Books, lets open it right up to absolutely any of Terry Pratchet's Discworld books. Lets see how many we can cover between us.

From the BBC Top 100 Books 2003, The Great Gatsby.

From 100 Great 20th Century Works by Women, Wide Sargasso Sea.

From the Top Gay Books in 1999, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

These are however just guidelines. If you have recently read something you found quite interesting or a great read, let us know!
