On my reading pile for the summer. Terry Pratchett, Douglas Coupland, George Mikes. And Philip Pullman's Dark Materails trilogy which is brilliant. You just have to love amazon.

Because it is group writing there is so much creativity and the plot and storyline isn't controlled or forced by one person, it evolves. That frees up each writer to really focus on charactor develpoment and to focus on becoming very rich with the storytelling process. I have learned a lot in one month already! Joanna,

But you know you want to keep adding really :-) I've remembered that 'into the wild' has got buried under some books - it's waiting to be read. I don't know the other authors but from a quick google they look like rich pickings. Any books you'd recommend in particular? Joanna Sorry Cara! But you know you want to keep adding really :-)

I'm also trying to add more fiction to my list, but I've been on a binge of Jon Krakauer and Tony Horwitz and Tim Cahill. Something about summer makes me like to read adventure and travel stories.

I'm definitely going to have to explore Outlander. Meantime I'll picture you in a leafy Berlin park, enjoying a good book in the shade of a tall tree Karen, reading on a swing - fabulous. That's something I haven't done since I was wee. Should really rectify! Thanks for getting me thinking about this summer pile idea - now my own (virtual) pile is heaving with recommendations!

But having over 200 books to chose from is a most appealing thought... Wendi, I don't know any of those series - yet more goodies to add to the list! Vampires and werewolves sounds fun. How are you enjoying the escaping reality writing? David, Rebus is great. They do get a bit samey after a while though, so you might want to space them out rather than reading them all in a oner. I've never managed to make any progress with Dostoevsky (I'm ashamed to say). Sounds like you have an interesting relationship with him! Hope you enjoy your reading this summer anyway Joanna Joanna Mervi, I’m not sure that reading professionally has quite the same effect – or maybe it does?
