Funnily enough Corporal Nobbs, Iam reading The Truth by Terry Pratchett.

Had never read any Pratchett till two weeks ago, now this is my third.

:rolleyes: Ha! Maybe the 'Goose has been hooked by the magic of Discworld? I'd recommend going back and reading Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic to give you a good grounding in the realities of the place. (It is real, isn't it? :huh: )

Just finished taking my "Red Rabbit" to bed with me (Tom Clancy) and the two before that were "The Time-Traveller's Wife" (Niffenegger) and "Dissolution" by C.J. Sansom (a great historical murder mystery)

Hmmm, books.. the last one I read was Wee Free Men. And now... I'm reading Going Postal, both discworld...


Does anybody notice a common thread here? Cachers and discworld! :P

Weird but when I was young I couldn't get enough of books I would read anything but now I am old(er) I can't be bothered with them.

The last books I read were Ray Mears Bushcraft, the Flexifoil Book of Powerkiting and all of Joe Simpson's books though after I saw Touching the Void on DVD he peeed me off so I don't like him anymore. :P

A much better read was Endurance I picked in NZ about Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the Antartic and Captain Scott by Ranulph Fiennes.

Though I do love obscure Japanese movies :ph34r: too and cheap DVDs. :rolleyes:

i'm almost embarrest to admit that i like alan titchmarsh and i'm reading his latest now.... :o :unsure: please don't tell anyone my reputation will be ruined! :lol:

[Tiger-Eyes]

I too like reading Alan titchmarsh but for some reason my reading seems noexistent now, I noticed this happened around the and of May this year about the same time that i started caching :lol:

:rolleyes: Saw it in the shops this week, may get it for my son for his birthday next week. (I'm sure he'll lend it to me later... ;) ) I used to read the Discworld books to him when he was about 8 years old and then he gradually got into reading them himself. I credit TP with inspiring him to read for pleasure.

Have you tried Jasper Fforde's books? Fantasy inspired by characters in literary fiction... "The Eyre Affair" and "Lost in a Good Book" are the first two.

[nobbynobbs]

asda were doing wintersmith cheap.

never tried that author. will look out for them in the library!
