Sorry, I was a bit late to this one! Anything with Vimes - I hear there's a new one due this year.age'd parent said:I can't belive that no one mentioned Terry Pratchett, I have every one of his on my Kindle and am working through them for the second time,
some of them for the third time.
That said I also have most pf Frank Herbert's books as well, Charlaine Harris the Sooky Stackhouse novels is another light reading about vampires etc, that I like,
but I have about 200 books on the Kindle now waiting to be read, every thing from Treasure island to Ben Elton.
I am still looking for Gormenghast (spelling?) by Mervyn Peake now there's a book that needs to be read twice.
I love that book. Have you read the others in the series Wormella???Wormella said:I think the book I've read the most is Orson Scott Card's Enders Game.
I paid full price for this from Waterstones and have chuckled slightly but then lost interest, still sitting away in the cupboard as I found the humour a bit repetitive.Withnail said:but everybody should read Catch 22 - you'll love it.
I agree with that actually...hilarious at first but then just got a bit 'meh'. I finished it though. For funny books I think Hitchikers guide takes some beating!Colin Grigson said:I paid full price for this from Waterstones and have chuckled slightly but then lost interest, still sitting away in the cupboard as I found the humour a bit repetitive.Withnail said:but everybody should read Catch 22 - you'll love it.

i've read 1984 twice; it's one of those books where i enjoy the journey, but am a bit disappointed with the ending.. it led me to read huxley's brave new world though, which in turn led me to read we by yevgeny zamyatin as a lot of people bang on about it being one of the original "dystopian future" books.. worth a read for that fact alone, but it's not as good as 1984 or BNW imo.. oh, i didn't read it in the original russian, obv'sWormella said:I've read and re-read a lot of Orwell (1984 especially)...
