If you've ever worked in an office, you;ll find this really funny, even though it's set in the States.

I love James Patterson. I've just finished Four Blind Mice which is another one in the Alex Cross series. |

In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them.
ah William one of the greatest books I've ever read! i first read it in school at 16, i think it read it at least once a year! Holden Caulfied and Patrick Bateman are two of the best characters ever written. |

Next on my list is The Gorse Trilogy by Patrick Hamilton or maybe Colin MacInnes' London Novels trilogy (including Absolute Beginners), but I've got about a hundred books on my desk waiting to be read.
I've got loads of books in the queue also... currently finishing "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman, next on the list is either "Northern Lights" by Phillip Pullman, but that's the start of a trilogy, so may bump that one down... "American Gods" another Neil Gaiman (mad about that bloke) or "Next" by Michael Critchon... I may also start "Good Omens" for the 100th time, because it's that damn good; Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman work so well together, totally hilarious |

Neverwhere is the only Neil Gaiman book I've read so far, although we have them all at work. Another load to add to the ever-increasing pile! You should give the His Dark Materials trilogy a go. Don't let the film put you off (it's rubbish compared to the book). They are amazing books and once you've read the first one you'll want to go straight into the second. Well, well worth it. |
