Wellington Reads discussion

This month, I have a very intriguing and riveting read - it is truly unputdownable! I'm reading Dan Brown's Inferno - I was looking for a quick, enjoyable and page-turning read that would not disappoint and Inferno is exactly that. I've really enjoyed the other books in the Robert Langdon series, being an art history major as well as a huge fan of mysteries and thrillers! Like the others in the series, it's definitely not going to win any literary awards but it is such a fun and suspenseful read with so much interesting historical info that I actually don't care! I also read yesterday that a film (starring Tom Hanks) is currently in the making - yussss!!

Next up I am reading Go Set a Watchman - my long awaited copy arrived in the post yesterday so I'm pretty keen to get into that.

Does anyone else have a good book this month?

Hello again Stephanie
I have just finished "Something to hide" by Deborah Moggach, which was a good page-turning read. The plot was quite ingenious I thought, and I loved the settings - London, Beijing, Africa and somewhere in the deep south of the United States.
I am presently reading "The revolving door of life", the latest Scotland Street novel by Alexander McCall Smith, which like the curate's egg is (very) good in parts and has the added bonus of well-deserved happiness for Bertie.
Oh and I very much enjoyed 'Perfect wives in ideal homes " by Virginia Nicholson. It's about the women of 1950s Britain and apart from some quibbles about the style I found that quite unputdownable too!!

Sounds like a good read Stephanie! I'm reading an old classic Little Women. About 100 pages in so far and I like it's quaintness. I bought the copy to read as I want to read March by Geraldine Brooks which I understand is based around the father.
I've also started the first book in The Maze Runner trilogy.

I recently finished re-reading Holding the Man (the film adaption I unfortunately missed at the most recent NZIFF). In an attempt to try and find something similarly raw and emotional with a queer bent I picked up The Animals: Love Letters Between Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy.

I haven't had a chance to get started on it though as at the same time I picked up the biography of British transvestite potter Grayson Perry Grayson Perry: Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Girl. It is utterly fantastic. It offers an uninhibited view into this life and development through short entertaining chapters. I am truly captivated. I'm am now considering trying to get over to Sydney in the new year to see his show at the MCA.

Those books sound good Caleb. There's nothing like an interesting biography I reckon!
