well, i just finished Alexandre Dumas' "Louise de la Valliere", so now i'm onto "The Man in the Iron Mask". also Salman Rushdie's "Haroun and the Sea of Stories", and "2001: A Space Odessey". i have a copy of "The Time Machine" kicking around somewhere... i want to refresh my memory before i go see the movie.

The Riddle and the Knight by Giles Milton, a fascinating investigation into a 14th Century pilgrim Sir John Mandeville who claimed to have circumnavigated the world

I read the Man who would be King by Rudyard Kipling on the train this morning - great short story and a brilliant film with Michael Caine and Sean Connery

Serendipities by Umberto Eco. It covers so much stuff in such a short volume, it's like the TARDIS (which I'm sure is explained in the text somewhere).

Abi - my recommendations at this time of year a funny stories to make you laugh out loud. If you haven't already, grab a copy of 'Mother Tongue' by Bill Bryson - it's an intelligent and hilarious look at the English language.

If not, I suggest you print out a chunk of <./>RandomEditedEntry</.> selections that you've not ever managed to find the time to read yet... There's also a good piece developing in the Alternative Writing Workshop...

Whoami?

i've just finished reading Adolf Hitler- my part in his downfall by Spike Milligan

Phlip Pulmans Dark Meterals Is verry good. Full of science,Relegon brutal mureders and dimention hopping. You would never gess it`s actualy a childrens book. But its briliant

i love those books

Pablo Neruda's *Book of Questions* (Neruda is a main character of the Italian film *Il Postino (The Postman)*).

Also *Philosophy for Dummies*, by someone whose name I can't recall.

Ilse Witch by a random bloke

"Time to Depart" by Lindsey Davis. Before that I read "There are no ghosts in the Soviet Union" by Reginald Hill (of Dalziel and Pascoe fame), which was a collection of short stories, including what seems to be the first appearance by Luton's premier P.I., Joe Sixsmith.

Finished recently The Wrong Boy by Willy Russell. A great read in all respects...manages to include lots of humour, child abuse, Morrisey and madness.

I`d Just Like To Say That its
WORLD BOOK DAY
Today!

The Firm by John Grisham. I seem to remember my dad watching an adaption of it a few years ago, but I didn't see most of it so the books basically new to me.

"Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien. I actually started on this months before I heard about the film but the library called it back...

"Sherlock Holmes - his last bow" by Conan Doyle. I'm trying to read the whole Sherlock serie and have gotten so far.

"Life, the Universe and Everything" by Adams. I'm reading over all books I own by him to honour his 50th b-day.

I'm sure I have some other half-finished books around here too...

In Lil's Atelier, A304354, we are reading Last Chance to See, also in honour of DNA's b/day.

"Big Trouble" by Dave Barry -- second time. Amazing first novel.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintanance."

And, last but not least, "The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul" by the great DNA, also the second time.

"The Count of Monte Cristo", Dumas, and "The Haunted Wizard", Stasheff. but i'm a little between books just now, i've jsut finished a few... the first, i admit, i'm partly re-reading because of the movie, so i can see all the Liberties they have no doubt taken with the plot and be outraged by them.
