The Emergence of a Choice Man!

[aromulus]

I too love reading books, but I can't find peace at home at the moment for reading

My kids are taking over everywhere

We all used to fit in the kitchen especially in the morning. Now all I can see are arms and legs everywhere not just in the kitchen but in every corner of the house!

Still...I wouldn't be without them

Lots of power cuts in Lancashire then...???

I agree with Dom - stunning novels. I would also add 'The Pearl' and 'Travels with Charlie' by Steinbeck as unmissable.

Also, Toks, if you are into historical novels - may I suggest 'Germinal' by Emile Zola - a riveting read (Did it for my French degree.)

P.S. - As far as commenting on your autob. is concerned - I was away most of yesterday and then when I came back and read it, I thought I would leave my comment for a while - then got distracted - then fell asleep - you know the score.

If I said I liked what I read - would you now really believe me?

I know that Calvin Zola played for Oldham. Rather, he didn't play!!!

Thanks Al, I will look for Germinal. I would certainly believe you and thanks for that! Very kind of you.

How disappointing Piamed it had not occurred to me to comment so soon in fact I would only comment normally once I had read a book from cover to cover.
