Was thinking about this the other day and mine is still To Kill a Mockingbird. I re watched the film with Gregory Peck the other day and I went back to read it yet again.

What's your favourite book ever?

Yeah the book is really good but it's a matter of taste I suppose.

Tess of the D'Ubervilles, on so many levels. Though strangely 'Christine' by Stephen King meant a lot at the time as a struggling teen. Still a few quotes I remember!

And of course the Club International Annual of 1979...

I went on a date to forget to see Dune! Giant worms wasn't my idea of a film date! I bet the book is a good read though.

Just one!!!

I honestly could not pick just one, my go to book is the Lord of the rings, return of the king,

I've had to buy first editions of several Stephen King books as I love them so much, Patrick Cornwells scarpetta series is good for losing my mind for a while

I've never read the book or watched the film. Thinking will stick it on my list of ones to read, but I'll wait until the dark nights are gone!

Either 'The Iceman' by Philip Carlo or 'My horse Warrior' by General Jack Seely. Both cracking reads if your into non-fiction.

So hard to choose...

It is down to 2 authors:

My first love, JRR Tolkien and Lord of The Rings.

Then I discovered Terry Pratchett's Disk World...

How can I choose between Rincewind (Oh my god I'm going to die!), Death (I LIKE CATS, CATS ARE NICE, I BET YOU LIKE DOGS), and Mistress Weatherwax (I aint dead!)? Of course Moist Von Lipwig, the Patrician and The Librarian (Dont call him a monkey! OOOOK!) cant be left out... And then there's the watch and Conon the Barbarian...

Can you ask me an easier question please?

I enjoyed Richard Kuklinskis book. Have you seen the HBO interviews with him - good stuff.

It'd be between the curious incident of the dog in the night by paul haddock and red rain by RL stine, these two were so unpredictable I know thats the point of any novel but these two books were just something else.....
