    I've finished Hitchhiker's. Was good - got into it towards the end as it started being really quite funny! Now onto the next one in the series... xxxx

    Double Trouble, is Stephen Fry's autobiography any good? I've bought it but I haven't got round to reading it yet.

    I am enjoying it so far I have read his first one as well

    Hiya everyone
    Hope you don't mind me joining in? Love reading and have a few thousand books that i am hopefully decluttering (could be why i'm in debt :cool:) but keep getting sidetracked reading them again....

    I've just finished Stephen Fry's autobiograpy - well actually i cheated and brought the audio version mainly because i could listen to his voice forever :heart2: - Its very good and so funny but sad and poignant in places too.... loved it and will be re"reading" soon lol

    Currently i'm reading the snowman by Jo Nesbo, mainly because i loved Stieg Larssons The Girl Who.../with dragon tattoo/played with fire/kicked the hornets nest (millenium trilogy), only just started it and so far so good.

    Will download TKAM and read that - I can't remember reading it at school

    Happy reading :)

    If anyone is planning on reading Stephen Frys autobiography , please read Moab is my Washpot first , its important to see his early life .

    Am now half way through 'The Tent , The Bucket , and Me' by Emma Kennedy ......its just getting funnier , espesh if you have been camping if holidayed in a wet Wales. I guarantee you'll laugh , whatever you're mood .
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Yep that deals with his schooldays and the other one starts when he goes to Uni

    I will be reading TKAM next week as I have to be in Cardiff all week as OS is having an op and I can't take OJs book with me :D

    Pepe, I read Pig Island first and really liked it, but it is different to the other stuff. Have you read Tokyo? I loved that, but it was a bit gruesome. I got Gone half price in Waterstones, I think I'm going to take it to Scarborough with me and get stuck into it there.
