  1. Splendid, I'll take some time to watch it. I liked the early Adrian Mole books when I was younger.
  2. Did anyone see Sue Townsend on 'The Book Show' recently? I record this programme on Sky Plus but haven't got round to seeing this one yet.
  3. An old episode of Bullseye. The contestants seemed to be better at actually playing darts in the old days..
  4. Well, that seems promising. It will certainly be interesting to revisit the character of David Ash.
  5. Just finished Haunted recently, and I thought it was spendid! Not too long but in-depth enough to be satisfying, and as others have said, it's an old fashioned kind of ghost story in many ways. Which is refreshing, as a spooky atmosphere is often more effective than just blood and gore. (Though I do like his more bloody stuff like The Fog as well). I was lucky enough to get a sort of middle-sized hardback of The Ghosts of Sleath for 99p from a charity shop a couple of months back too, and as that is apparently a kind of sequel, I'll look forward to that. I think Nobody True will be my next one of his to read though.
  6. Thanks 'Jumper! I just read that thread (through an advanced search) and it has increased my interest. I still have a lot to read right now, but will bear The Historian in mind for the near future (I'm sure I've seen the paperback of it at Oxfam before IIRC).
  7. Actually one of my birthday gifts was a nice new edition of Dracula - it's a classy looking blood-red hardback, with a foreword from Elizabeth Kostova, who has written a book called The Historian which apparently ties in with the Dracula concept, which seems intriguing although it's a recent novel.
  8. thank you Mr. Sedge! :)

  9. Cheers Rach! I am a year older but perhaps not wiser, yet it has been a pleasant enough day!
