Elise, I finished The Lovely Bones this evening, it's very good. It started to fall apart towards the third quarter but the last few pages pulled it together, I'd definately recommend it.

Yeah, it's great. Really weird at the beginning, sad too. Made me think about what happens after death differently.

I couldn't find lucky (by the same author) in work, I think it's on loan! I'll have another check on saturday.

Has anybody read the time traveller's wife?

Elise. Just because you take advantage of your authority and steal books from the library.

Haha! Why would I want to steal a book? They're free anyway, and pointless once you've read them

Oh Grace (I think it was you I was tlaking about this with)

I read Alice Sebold's Lucky, it was relaly sad :shock:

I'm reading Chris Moyles first book just now. I pre-ordered it form Amazon before it was out and it has been on my shelf ever since! I am just about finished it and have to say it is very good!

I haven't read much in ages but have read 4 books in the last 4 weeks! Who knew I was a reader? ha ha

The 1st of which was a book called Cents & Sensibility (that I got free with a Gillette razor) and that was brilliant! I definitely recommend that to anyone that likes a girly book :D

Carl Hiaasen's Lucky You

He writes very good books *nods* Sick Puppy for one.

I just read The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. S'very good.

I read Tess of the D'Urbervillesfor one of my modules too. I get why people would hate it if they had to do it for GCSE or anything but it's a VERY good book. I liked.

Oh and I'm reading Julian Barnes' Arthur and George, Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club and A Midsummer Night's Dream. I love being an English student.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

I'm currently reading Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, after seeing the film version a few months ago and liking it I thought I'd give the book a go. It's actually a really good book, it's unlike anything else I've ever read before but that's partly why I'm enjoying it so much.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I am reading The History Boys by Alan Bennett (it was adapted into a film a few years ago) and a little-known book called Wuthering Heights by a lady named Emily Bronte. Anyone heard of it?

Heard of both of those but haven't actually read them. I've been meaning to watch the History Boys film for a while actually, it looks good.

    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
