My cupboard and attics are like a bookshop. I was selling some things last year but it was like parting with babies. I could never own a bookshop as i would sell nothing until i had read everything..I also like Stephen Fry.
Currently reading Cathy Reichs
Re reading the Harry Potter books
Autiobiographies of Julie Walters and Dawn French
After that i am going to re read David Niven's the Moons a balloon..love that book.
Oh and the Larkrise to Candleford book.

Stephen Frys book is fantastic, very frank. If you can get it, read it.

I live right inthe middle of the area that Lewis Carrol based the chequer board in Alice in Wonderland ( Otmoor ) and go to work driving across Lark Rise to Candleford (Juniper Hill near Brackley where the Author lived ( Flora Robson?)

Not just me 'multiple reading' then. I'll try any book, sometimes they just dont click though. I've just given up on Ben Okri 'The Famished Road'

if anyone wants a great, funny read, get 'A Brief History of Tractors in Ukranian' its really funny ( and not about tractors )

Bookie....there has been a second book to that one I thnk, is there any way you could find out?

Yeah, I tend to have different books in different rooms!

Only one I've given up recently was a present from a friend - The Island by Victoria Hislop - had potential to be a great story but thought it was SO badly written!

We often hang around where it is being filmed when i visit my brother..I like to place watch. Yep Flora Robson is the author. I have one of Stephen Fry's books but i will look out for the one you mention as i have about £50 of book vouchers..all for meeeeeee..

I always ask for them as i just love books and i get a cheap thrill from buying new books.LOL
