Cheers matelooking foward to lord of the rings now.read them when i was 10 or 11 but they went a bit over my head so time for a reread me thinks.

Ignore the pages of Elvish and stories of Middle Earth and you'll be fine.

Thanks. That sounds good. Have you read any of Stuart Mc bride's books. I like them a lot. Set in Aberdeen. Usually involves a serial killer!

I haven't read any, but will look them up thanks, sounds right up my street !

Was it a story for his grandkids or was that just akinda urban myth?

That story is partly true but people always confuse the books. Roverandom is the book he wrote for his son Michael in 1925 I believe. That one is VERY much a kids story though. I remember my Grandad reading it to me when I was about 5.

Laaaaaaaaaad hahaoh i used to dream such things.i was the 6th member of the famous 5.true story in the world of me.

Fascinating biography. Amongst the many kinks, obsessions and peculiarities of the man another stand out feature was his priggishness. It started early and never left him. He had little success with women in his early years due to this, as well as being ad boring as the transfer thread.
Later,after his marriage, his secretary became his mistress. Any other time and place he would have been an obscure office clerk.

I was on a flight last night and watched 'the last days of Anne Frank'

What a story, which now has made me want to read her diary, or the book about it

My own reccomendation would be Charles Dickens 'the old curiosity shop' best book I've ever read.

Like to see him after he's cleaned the friers.

Another one for you if you haven't read it ?

The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks.

It's his first book and imo still his best.

The world as seen through the eyes of a very disturbed teenager " Frank " who lives on an island off Scotland.

Powerful reading. With a truly jaw dropping ending.

I think I was about 14 when I first read this. Spooked the hell out of me. Disturbing!

I actually had a bit of a weird crush on the elves in The Lord Of The Rings. Thought Legolas was boss. I need to get out more.....
