I just finished the Wrinkle in Time Trilogy this weekend. The last, I think, is my favorite of the three.
Now I'm starting Phantasties by George MacDonald

Finished The Secret Diary of God a few weeks ago ('twas quite funny indeed), now I'm looking for some suggestions, what do you guys think would be a good read?
In the meantime I'll just re-read Jackdaws

At the moment I'm re-reading Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh.....brilliant book, slightly disturbing, but brilliant
![]() (should point out to the kiddies that's it's not pg-13, or pg-18 in fact........but IMO it should be read by everyone who actually has to live in the real world ![]() |

Hhhmmm, me as a Tolkien fan .... no seriously, I'm just reading The Fellowship of the ring, but this time in English. It's not that difficult for me to understand, but it takes a lot of concentration, and therefore I'm reading it since March.
my next book will probably be "Owen Meany" by John Irving.
