It's not the 'deep' horror it claims to be, it's a great story but finished rather rubbish.

Philippa Gregory - Dark Tides

looking forward to reading this one today, I've read all her books, some of them a few times over.

The White Queen was fab.

I’m into Mythos: the Greek myths retold by Stephen Fry. He’s a humorous chap and has made them more amusing than when I studied them years ago. He’s certainly more cerebral than that pretender BJ and his Latin asides.

If—
Rudyard Kipling - 1865-1936

I dedicate this to everyone

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Peter James - I Follow You

Half way through it, the main character is a creepy guy.

[art0hur0moh]

this is what i get for searching for ode's (must have spelt it wrong)?



Is that the same as quadratic equations? Maybe if i watch the video i might find out?? Unless someone would like to provide an eloquent summery and intended purpose i will be able to either save time or invest it.

Rubbish ending, why do all psychological thrillers have a shitty ending?

Next up is

Annie Murray
Black Country Orphan

My youngest bought me this one, similar vein to Catherine Cookson.
