Didn’t realise there is such a lovely thread here…currently im reading "The Inner Game of Tennis" by W. Timothy Gallwey…great book on learning relaxed concentration and can be used for learning any skill beside playing tennis.

Last book I read was a few months ago, Blue Ocean Strategy, prefer non-fiction usually. Been reading mostly children storybooks these days.
Like this thread. seeing so many ppl reading, makes me wanna pick up a book now

Just finished "The Cuckoo’s Calling" by Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling.
Very good read. Totally enjoyed the who-done-it mystery. Kept me guessing to the end. Love the partnership between Strike and Robin. -
It’s been a good year of bestseller reads. My faves so far…
1. The Storyteller - Jodi Picoult
2. The Cuckoo’s Calling - Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling)
3. And the Mountains Echoed - Khaleed Hosseini
Painful reading…
4. Inferno - Dan Brown
Felt as if Brown was writing the book with making a movie in mind. Took the joy out of reading. Kept imagining Tom Hanks traipsing across the pages as I read. Very painful. -
I recently read
The help by Kathryn Stockett
Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
Water for Elephants by sara gruen
Went through them really quickly because they are so easy to read but at the same time have very captivating plots. -

haha.... glad that I'm not alone. Took me a l-o-n-g time to read the book. In the end, I skipped the pages in between and flipped to the end, just to find out the ending as I had to return the book to NLB before it's due date.

The other book that I did not enjoy reading was The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling. Cd not finish the book too. Think after the negative reviews, it's no wonder she decided to use a pseudonym for Cuckoo's Calling. Less pressure on her. -
Now on NLB's waiting list for \"The Fault in Our Stars\" by John Green. This is going to be a sob story. Hope I don't start tearing on the train!! :roll: :skeptical:

Great book I just picked up (from NLB) - The Good, the Bad and the PSLE by Monica Lim. It’s a half fictional story of a mum with 2 kids (1 bright girl and her younger clueless brother). I understand from friend that this lady blogs about her experiences etc but I had never seen her blog.
Book is extremely funny esp when it touches on tales of the clueless son. Some of the more memorable bits include stuff like the boy having difficulties in chinese and teacher telling the parent that her son was copying from his friend. The parent said "No lah, cannot be true". And answer from teacher was "He even copied his friend’s name".
I was laughing so much when I read the book that my P3 son was intrigued to start reading it and now some of his classmates also wanna borrow from him to read and find out what is so funny. Appeals to all parents with schooling kids and I guess kids who dun mind reading about kids from a parent’s perspective.
Highly recommended. So sorry I can’t return my copy yet cos DS hasn’t finished. -
thanks for the book recommendations guys
