I'm reading Maurice but when I finish (today if I can be bothered) I'll read slaughter house 5 by kurt vonegut

 

[author3]

I love Maurice

 

[Tonyblack]

Johnny and the Dead.

There's a great message in that book - don't wait for the afterlife, make the most of now.

Finished Moab Is My Washpot, now reading The Fry Chronicles. I'm not a big fan of autobiographies but these are okay.

Just finished the Fort by Bernard Cornwell

What did you think?

I'm reading 'Knights of Madness' - a collection of short stories by various writers, including a certain Mr Pratchett's story 'Hollywood Chickens'. I found the book - a hardback first edition in beautiful condition, in a charity shop a couple of weeks ago.

Love Holywood Chickens. Greta that its based on a real situation. Sadly only have a paperback version of the Knights of Madness

"The British are coming!"

If you haven't checked the Historical Note at the back of the book, do so. It's interesting reading.

The Fort was somewhat different to most of his books as there were no real ficticious characters at the forefront. He concentrated pretty much on the facts.

Of course I've read the historical note It's a really interesting story

mC from the background: He won't let me use my PC!! But everything's OK We just got back from Lake Balaton

 

[Tonyblack]

I know that feeling.

 

[meerkat]

About to start the Illustrated Eric.

 

[meerkat]

Nice but never really been a fan of the drawings. Part of my collection now though!

Just finished American Gods. Found it good to read, a bit daft in places but so darkly funny that you sometimes needed to put a light on!

Cleverly written. And I loved all the Gods he had picked out. IN a way very Terry Pratchett in another not Pratchett like at all.

A 'keepie book' for long distance travel!

One thing I am not certain about is what is Shadow living off? The money Wedensday gave him? I though he lost that ast some stage?

Edited cos I had a thought.....
