The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has always been my favourite, and I re-read it a few months ago - fabulous stuff! I keep checking the back of my wardrobe, but nothing sad ...maybe it's because I haven't got any furs! wink

Working my way through the Sherlock Holmes set again, right alongside Rumpole of the Bailey, a selection of Anne Rice (so I have some clue what everyone's going on about. I can't say I particularly like her writing style, though.) and I've just gotten through some really boring arcane bit of prose called 'Apiculture Through the Ages: A Comprehensive History of Bees, Beekeeping and the Impact of Apiary Arts from 2000 BC'. I don't know why I was reading that one...

I still have 2 Stephen Fry novels that my Mum leant to me that i must read, i did greatly enjoy his autobiography, so i expect i shall equally enjoy these, if i ever open them.
Plus, after a comment in an email about What Katy Did i find my copy has fallen apart completely, the covers were hanging on by mere threads before, but now it is in a very sorry state cry
I want to replace with a book of equal age though, this is a perculiarity of mine but one i'm fairly insistent on.
I love old books, the smell, the quality and texture of the paper, the slightly battered covers.
One day, i'll have my own little library in my own home, glass fronted(bevelled) bookcases too so they done get dusty, all full of lovely, old, hardback books with their faded red covers.

I read The World According to Clarkson & Chronicles of Murder not too long ago. I know Jeremy's a t**t but he's still funny. xd Chronicles looks at one or two major murders for each year over the last century.

Poppetta yep, Clarkson is funny, i imagine a book like that would be good to read when you needed a laugh xd Oh hell yeah! We got it from Asda too so it was half price. xd I highly recommend it, it's basically a collection of his newspaper columns. Infact I may need to read it again now. rofl
