h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

_The Once and Future King_ is on my permanent (i.e., do not donate to the library) bookshelf and I reread it on a regular basis. My enjoyment of T. H. White's version is the main reason I was inspired to read Mallory.

I enjoyed 'The Once and Future King'.

Reading Lolita by Nabakov now. I sense I am getting to the creepy part.

Just finished Vernon God Little. Very funny indeed.

I'm reading Koji Suzuki > 'Ring'

Just finished the latest Jasper Fforde

I am reading Escapes From Colditz by P. R. Reid
its awsome!... its about WWII and these guys that try to escape almost every day!
cheers

Update: Well I gave up on Mallory again. Once I am done reading _Salmon of Doubt_ and _Around the World in 80 Days_, I will probably opt for _Peter and Wendy_ by James Barrie (assuming I can find a public domain version for Microsoft Reader) before I attempt to go back to Mallory.

I am currently reading:
To The King a Daughter - Andre Norton and Sasha Miller
Predators, Prey and Other Kinfolk - Dorothy Allred Solomon
Women of Courage - Kevin Sim

That's a great book, Ford_Prefect. My sister and I read it when we were teensagers.

"The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle, and "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish" (again)

Someone mentioned Blowfly by Patricia Cornwell a few posts ago. I totally agree - it was lacklustre and seemed to have been written by someone else. The characters and plots were not as well rounded as in previous books and I found the whole thing deeply unsatisfying.

I'm just about to start The Full Cupboard of Life by Alexander McCall Smith. It's the fifth in the series based in Botswana. These are wee gems!

I'm on the last few pages of Vernon God Little

Then I've got Starter for Ten to read and i bought another one which name escapes me

I'm reading Lost in a Good Book again

Louis de Bernieres' Birds Without Wings.

I haven't had time to get read much of it yet, but so far I prefer it to Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Have you read any of his South American books? eg The War of Don Emanuel's Nether Parts.

They're a very strange mixture of enchanting whimsy and gruesome descriptions of what oppressive SA regimes do to people who disagree with them.

We enjoyed them

I am also reading the Cat Who... series by Lilian Jacson Braun... anyone here read it?
cheers

I read a couple of them years ago.

I've bought "Tietam "something...by Mick Foley too

I just finished 'One hundred years of solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez. Absolutely marvellous stories in it.

I want to get that one - Mick Foley *is* marvellous, despite being a wrestler..
