Recommend me a book

[Bluetonic]

Catch 22, although I'm sure you've already read it all book recommendation threads should include it!

Amen,absolutely-amazing-book.

Heard bad reports about Song of Stone.

Cheers, I'll check out Whit next methinks. God, don't get me started on that book. It is so so so so shocking. Incest, rape, murder, world war 3 future, past... it tried to be something like 28 Days Later set in a Scottish castle, but it was one of the most soul destroying, unlikeable and pointless reads I've ever endured

Graham Greene - Brighton Rock or England Made Me.

Anything by PG Wodehouse, especially the Jeeves and Wooster series.

Evelyn Waugh - Scoop! and A Handful of Dust are my favourites.

Edited previous post, as I'd forgotten about Complicity. that was made in to a film, but I never got round to seeing it.

Evelyn Waugh - Scoop! and A Handful of Dust are my favourites.

excellent choices all of them - finally read Brighton Rock last week and it was well worth the wait. Also, read most of the Jeeves and Wooster's - Fry and Laurie do them amazing justice.

Thanks chaps, I shall be having a look at some of those, except with the obvious exception....

Iain Banks is my favourite author. My favourites of his are The Wasp Factory, Espedair Street and The Bridge. The Bridge in particular can be fairly hard going but stick with it, such a great book when you get into it.

Oh come off it. That Bill Bryson book really is worth investigating.

I didn't say there WASN'T a film called Powder, it's just a different story. This one is the rise & fall of a "Snow Patrol" type band. :D
