A pile of books up to your knee? Amateur. I suspect mine would come up to at least my shoulder if I could persuade them not to fall over. That said, my in-pile doesn't include anything "classic" and I can't help but feel that's an oversight. A bit of Dickens would be a welcome touch of culture and this one sounds like a good place to start. by jonathanb

I've got another Reichs book in my ridiculously large "to read" pile and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it may avoid the confusing elements of this book - I've read a couple of other novels recently where the proliferation of names, often of minor characters, became very distracting because I had to keep looking back through the book to remind me who they were. by jonathanb

I love Bones, and I've got plenty of Kathy Reichs' books on my bookshelves but I've never got round to reading any of them. I like the sound of this one though. by tb240904
