    Let the right one in,by someone Swedish (?) who's name I can't spell out pronounce.

    That's an awesome book. And the Swedish version of the film is definitely worth checking out too.

    Terry Pratchett's "The Colour of money"... slowly going to read the entire 40 volume series.

    I'm reading the complete works of "Shakespeare" and the complete works of "Charles ****ens". I love the classics and have read these works over and over. So many great books to read and so little time..:)

    God yes, so many books, so little time.

    The Pratchett series is an absolute joy, and you will definitely find it gets better as you go along. I'm also a big fan of Shakespeare and ****ens ... :smile:

    I've seen both films and the play, that's why I thought I should read the book, as usually I've done the book first!

    How are you finding the book? I've not seen the US version of the film - I'm not a movie-goer anyway, and I was worried I wouldn't like it ...

    Very similar to the film, but not as much focus on just the two main characters, and with some back history, which I don't remember from film.
    I breezed my way through it, and liked it enough to immediately read another of his books..a bit key down by the third one though...

    Last one was called "Ethan and his shadow", I don't know if it's even translated to English. It's a Russian book. It used to be very popular at USSR. Now I'm reading "The Rains Came" by Louis Bromfield.
