I can't read at night, I'd end up all night but I love to read on the train. Half an hour into uni and half an hour back so I get a bit done.

Just finished Enigma by Robert Harris. Before that I had read Fatherland by Robert Harris.

Fatherland is basically about Germany post-war if Hitler had won. Don't want to give anything away so I won't say anything more.

Enigma is about a group of folk in England during WWII trying to break the German Enigma code but meanwhile one of the folk working there is possibly a spy and so nobody knows who they can trust etc.

Dunno what to read next. Tempted to read Archangel which is also by Robert Harris (he's great) which is set in Russia during the cold war I believe.

Thought I'd revive this thread.

I have just finished reading Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. It's been made into a film called The Golden Compass which is released today in case anyone's interested. I absolutely loved the book. I couldn't put it down and when I finished it I moved straight on the secind in the trilogy: The Subtle Knife.

Basically it's 3 books in the trilogy all set in different worlds, but moving between the other worlds. They're supposed to be kids books but anyone I know who has read them agrees with me that they are too complex for kids. There's a strong religion/anti-religion theme running through them that I don't think is really kids material.

But aye, anyway, great fantasy/adventure book, and the second one is provong to the as good, so far. :)

You read a book in less than 2 days?!? That's nuts! It takes me a week or 2 depending on the length of the book. In saying that I read mainly on the train on the way into uni, and not an awful much more. Sometimes in my lectures if they're particularly boring too, LOL!
