Re: Favourite read
Couple of good books iv'e read lately are Cider With Roadies by Stuart Maconie,which tells of his early days in Wigan(seeing The Beatles at 3 years old!),through to his time as a music journalist with the New Musical Express & his time on the road with various bands.Something i could relate to as he's around my age and i used to read his work in the NME.At times it is extremely funny.The other book is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon,wich is a kind of murder mystery but the narrator & detective is a 15 year old boy with Asperger's Syndrome (think Rain Man),it is both a sad and very funny,and has won several awards.On the subject of horror books,can anyone remember those you could buy in the 70's & 80's with several stories in one book?What were they called?

Re: Favourite read
I love a good read and have seriously neglected reading novels this year due to having to do the work to finish my degree. I can get through 3-4 books in a week on holiday. I have read most of the Patricia Cornwells but would recommend Kathy Reichs (if you like Cornwell). I am also eagerly awaiting the final Harry Potter..

Re: Favourite read
you won't regret it, there is only one book that I have been disappointed of hers and that is when she went down the route of writing about a cop and to be honest she is better sticking to the scarpetta novels

Re: Favourite read
Good idea Jen, send them over!
I've read a few of Stephen King's. I can't get into all of them but I did enjoy the one where he handcuffed his wife to the bed and dropped dead! I particularly like Penny Vincenzi but never got on with Virginia Andrews. My favourites are the ones which have a family saga and my idea of heaven is to lie in bed all day with a book I can't put down! (At one time it was a man, lol, how age creeps up)!!!

Re: Favourite read
At the moment my favourite read is a dictionary and thesaurus as my spelling, grammer punctuation etc are attrocious. Other wise it is Stephen King novels natural history and general history books.
