    I used to read a hell of a lot, that was until this t'internet thing came along. My favourite book of all time is Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, the only book to ever bring a tear to my eye.

    What an uncanny coincidence! Steinbeck is my fave author of all time!

    Most people only know of Mice and Men, as it's always taught in schools (or used to be), but another great one is East of Eden, rather long, but a great yarn. Also, well worth a read is Travels With Charley In Search Of America, the true story of his road trip across America with his beloved poodle.

    the only book that i have been reading lately is FACEBOOK
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    Same here I used to get through untold books but now seldom have the time - also feel the internet has to share some of the blame.

    Just reading Vulcan 607 which I got from the library - story behind the Black Buck bombing raids in 1982 on the Falklands by RAF Vulcans flying out of Ascension Island.

    For those interested in this amazing plane click below, turn up your speakers and listen to the howl (around 6mins 40 secs is good)
