Favourite Book (to help all the Big Brother Addicts)
Manicminer:
With the film being released at this moment maybe 'The Da Vinci Code' by Dan Brown would be worth a read.
Other books I have read in the last few months include -
Atlantis by David Gibbins
Shattered Icon by Bill Napier
The Double Eagle by James Twinning
Bush Tucker Man:
--- Quote from: "landyloony" ---Have to put another down for discworld series here(especialy the nightwatch books)

I like the 'NightWatch' collection as well, great charactorisations.
Love to see a film of 'Guards, Guards', or 'Men At Arms'
The Ant Hill Mob:
All of the Pratchett ones and Bryson ones are worth a look. 'Notes from a Small Island' had me crying with laughter on a train once - the ticket collector took one look at the title, nodded and grinned like a loon.
Although it's more of a kid's book, the 'Wee Free Men' (who got thrown out of faerie land for being drunk & disorderly) is great, and definitely an grown-up's book is Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Sometimes Pratchett is a bit too sugary for me, and the injection of dark humour makes this a book to be read again and again.
First Light (by Geoffery Wellum *I think*) is also a great read if you like true WW2 stories, he was one of the youngest figher pilots to take part in the Battle of Britain. Then again, I WILL read most things RAF/WW2/Churchill related.....just ask RRB about the volume of books in the attic.....
gtomo2:
H G Wells - war of the worlds and the time machine
Oh and the hobbit as well as LOTR.
They beat bb anytime :wink:
Bulli:
Anything including root canal beats BB- what crap.
If you havent read Lance Armstrongs auto biography read it ...that guy has guts.
Bill Bryson - funny in some and 'a short history of everything' is very good
Jonathan Livingstone seagull and Illusion by Richard Bach are both awe inspiring.
I like Andy McNabbs fiction stuff
Tolkein - no need to add anymore, genious.
