One for the book worms....

well Macca... its absolutely worth a shot if you havent read it... havent read 5 people in heaven though so i cant compare...

Shall we agree to both try the other book in the next few weeks then?

Have been meaning to try that other of his for ages anyway, despite my friend's reservations.

Only just spotted this thread, so my apologies if I'm repeating others choices but try:
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, by Noone' (Christian name escapes me)This is the book which is said to have won the 1945 Election for Labour,

or anything by John Steinbeck,starting with Grapes of Wrath.

Anything by Tony Benn.

Rudyard Kipling's books are worthwhile.

There's also a lot of good stuff in the Bible!

Wow more books to the list!

My grandad rang me yesterday to tell me there were loads of books in the celler of the flat he lives in. He is bringing them round in a bit, I hope they happen to be really valuable so I can flog 'em but I doubt it lol

All this talk of books is really making me want to write one more and more. If I miss my meds for a few days my bipolar might set in and help me think of loads of great ideas ;)

always open to new reading experience's,thats why i buy my books in charity shops,you pick up stuff,you would'nt normally read

After the library, the charity shop really is a curious reader's best ally.

Macca, I have to admit I haven't read any of Ellory's books. Crime fiction really switches me off. I'm willing to give anything a go, however, and if I'm meeting Peter James next week, I suppose it'd be courtesy to have read at least one of his.

Did you have any luck getting hold of The Ghost Child?

And Berger, my grandad once tried coaxing me into the cellar with the promise of hundreds of books. Just make sure he goes down the stairs ahead of you.

Haha! Well he had been with them and I cant say there are any authors I recognise apart from John Grisham and 'The Rainmaker'! The books are all between 15 and 10 years old but are in goodish condition! Not really what I normally read but will keep hold of them for a bit anyway!

I went to my parents the other day to see what books I had there, and was suprised to see there were loads. I didnt realise how many Stephen King books I had! Iv brought quite a few home, but there are so many Enid Blyton books that have been passed down over the years im sure some must be early editions. 'Secret Seven' and 'Famous Five' (?)...I never knew I had so many books as a child! Really made me wonder how much of our lives we spend reading!

Another for the list. I've just read 'Tiger in the Snow' to our library toddler group.

Brought the house down. Let me tell you, the comparisons with Proust are not unfounded.
