Its called "Θεανώ: Η λύκαινα της Πόλης"!!! One of the best! If you can read Greek try this out.

One of the books that a friend told me lately that I should read is "Birds without wings"!

Any other suggestions?
What is your favorite book?


Hi Lena mou, my favourite book ever has to be ' The other side of Midnight' by Sydney Sheldon and the sequel 'Memories of Midnight'. Both brilliant. Also love anything writen by Charles Dickens. :)
I am reading 'Angels and Demons' by Dan Brown at the mo but must confess that I am finding it hard going which is surprising as I enjoyed the first one, the infamous ' DaVinci Code!! :oops:

Cheers, think I will go and read a few chapters now. :) Think I am upto chapter 42, so getting there, slowly,slowly!! Funny, as Webbo read it in less than a week and I have been trying for nearly a month now!

Never read the book, but the movie is one of my favorites. Have you seen it, Webbo?

No, did not even realise there was a movie, but that does not surprise me as a lot of SS books were made into movies. I think I will look it up though, ta :)

"Life of Pi"

I know I have recommended this book before but this is how good it is...Anyone who reads and does not read this is missing something.


If any one wants to get into the head of a autistic type mind...If they have a relative or anyone they know that has an illness like that...then " The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night" will be invaluable to you. I have mentioned this book as well but I don't think that I gave an explanation of why it is so good. It is like one of those 3D pictures were you have to stare at it for a while before you get the effect...When you first see the picture in 3D everyone shouts "I'm in" and for a while you are in another world. This book had the same effect on me. You are in control and then you are not. Wonderful.

"Life of Pi" was mesmerising, Zan . . . I recommended too on the first page.
