I have all Andrew Harman books in that series he wrote 11 in all some quite funny others so so that was the first, it was all humorous fantasy.
The Sorcerers Appendix by Andrew Harman

You're Irish so read the only Irish book on the list, Dracula. Its an absolute master piece

Dracula and Jurassic Park are both good, but don't read Jurassic Park thinking that it's going to be like the film. Hammond's a real prick in the book.

 

[author3]

okay I'll read Dracula first then Jurassic Park second and The Sorcerers Appendix third

I've read the Crichton books, Shakespeare & Dracula. Read Shakespeare, if only to say you have.

King Lear is good for getting to know some truly awesome evil characters. A crazed old naked man is also worth reading for- some excellent monologues there, too.

Talking of new books........... I just got myself a five book boxset of Skulduggery Pleasant books, from amazon.

They're aimed at young people (9+ I think) about a skeleton detective, set in the Republic of Ireland.

I'm quite looking forward to them. They have great reviews. From the youngsters at least!!

I read the first Skulduggery Pleasent book a while ago and I thought it was terrible.It was really hard to distinguish who was talking and the story was strange

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Gee, thanks kid. I've got the first five to read over Christmas!!
