The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart

That's a great book , ^%$ read it years ago, very funny. I can only recommend Terry Pratchett The Discworld novels, he is funny, rude, saucy and a good giggle, with the odd Wizard and dragon thrown in, pure escapism, I  love Terry's books,  in fact I am a bit of a Pratchett geek!. ( Met him a few times , lovely man ) $%$

Think Hubby's recommended Dice Man.... ooo actually it's just said "I recommended it before I knew what you like reading, actually I don't think you would like it" haahah!
I am currently reading The Old Man Who Read Love Stories, recommended by my friend. Beautifully written actually, very much in the style of "The Old Man and the Sea".
Think there is a sad ending which I am going to hate as I always end up in tears!!!

Caitlin Moran's two books 'How to be a Woman' and 'Moranthology' - two genuinely hilarious reads

Oh yes, I have read extracts of the first one in the Sunday Times Magazine and it sounded very funny!

only found him 2 years ago when we moved house i ended up reading his book (big bad wolf) and was hooked, i could not put it down, now I have a shelf full of his stuff.

He has made me more interested in reading, ended up buying 7 books a few weeks ago, now started on his newest one NYPD Red which looks to be pretty good.

Oh wow, an author who makes you want to read more hey, fab!!!
I re-read "the Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe today to put myself in a Halloween mood. Very short but I enjoyed it!!
I have just finished watching "Cuckoo" on BBC Iplayer, episode 6 and not the best but enjoyable watch still (episode 4 and 5 made me laugh out loud on my own!!!)

It's not very often I read non fiction books but I'm reading Once Was An Addict by Barry Woodward and completely hooked.  He is a Christian now but he is so down to earth about having been an addict.

I like a variety such as Stephen King, James Herbert, Tolkien, C S Lewis, Ruth Rendell .... I read most styles of writing except for Mills and Boons.  When we used to see one of my sister in laws regularly she would pass on her Mills and Boons  ::) which I would politely accept then pass on to a charity shop.  Suspense thrillers, fantasy and murder mysteries are my favourites though.
