Read any good books lately?

[MartyMuppets]

Well I apologize if I did come across as somewhat cynical in my post Jacob.
But never the less in principle I must completely agree with JJ. We did not need a post relating to books when we already have the Last Book you read thread.

And as JJ said you made not just one excess book thread, but two.
If you want to start new threads the topics should be about discussions nobody else has started yet themselves.

I just read "Pomegranate Soup," by Marsha Mehran. It's set in a small Irish village during the mid-1980s, and it's the story of three sisters who settle there and open their own cafe, having just fled the revolution in Iran. It's an excellent book; got through it in one sitting.

I've recently read Charles Dickens "BLEAK HOUSE" I really really enjoyed it. I'm now reading Charles Dickesn "GREAT EXPECTATIONS". I really love the way Charles Dickens writes!
