George and Nellie Creedy could read minds. Massive-Mickey Hutton

I'm on 22 for 2016.last year I read 86.I too was going for 100 last year.I will do it this year

Mark lawson-The deaths. Talk about long winded,got another of his on me pile.it may get put to the bottom or go back where it came from

Difficult but fun even if it's a bit late in the day but I am new so here I go(in no particular order) Matt Haig Iain banks Jasper fforde Tom Holt Nick hornby Danny Wallace Matthew quick Ben Elton Kevin brooks Charlie higson

Sorry I double posted again.I blame me fone and a poor rural internet connection

I worked for a tree surgeon, fell out of an oak tree and landed on a dog. Peter Benson-Two cows and a vanful of smoke.

Ooo! A nick hornby discussion. Interesting to see.I love the guy,I read fever pitch and kinda enjoyed it even though I have zilch interest in football but 31 songs is another good obsession book.a few years back he collaborated with my no1 fave musician Ben foldd(check him out) and that was how I got in to him. Mr hornby did the lyrics,Mr folds the rest=Amazing,easily in my top 5 albums. I'll stop now.

Oops that didn't work quite right.meant to add a comment with that quote,oh well. Thanks, I will bear that in mind.I must admit round Ireland with a fridge is what drew me to his books in the first place.from reading the back it appealed to my humour/mentality. I don't know if they are owt like one another but Dave gormans done some cracking good/laugh out loud books

I have a few Tony hawks on the pile that I ain't read.one hit Wonderland and around Ireland with a fridge I think.I may make one my next amusing reads to be him. Started Two cows and a vanful of smoke by Peter Benson last night.will b keeping the eye out for more of his in the future.

On Monday I finished the girl on the train by Paula Hawkins (brilliant! 4 outa 5. Yesterday I started the gobbler by Adrian Edmondson(young ones,bottom)I may need my sides stitching up coz it's hilarious so far!

Charity shops are brilliant for books I find.I travel around about a 30mile radius from where I live and the bargains I get are tremendous. I once got a jasper fforde book i had been after for 40p.I had even tried ordering it from my favourite independent book shop but it's out of print.in fact they had several of Mr ffordes but I already had them. I need banning from my local oxfam bookshop,I spend far too much there.I'm on 1st name terms with most the staff/volunteers

I think I'm going to start a re-watch on Angel tonight or maybe Farscape.undecided as yet

Hello. Medical as is medicine and the human body,but I like a good thriller.never thought to put the two together, thanks I'll keep a lookout for it

Right favourite books ever in no particular order are: 1984-George Orwell Getting rid of Mr kitchen-Charlie higson The wasp factory-Iain banks Time and time again-Ben Elton The humans-Matt haigg Shades of grey-Jasper fforde A long way down-Nick hornby As for authors,well all of the above and:Tom Holt,Danny Wallace,Sue Townsend,Mark haddon,David nicholls,Grant Naylor,Dave gorman,Matthew quick,H.G Wells,Arthur c Clarke,Kevin Sampson and any muscian I'm in to who's done a book.I could go on all day. In answer to the medical books. Books by doctors get my attention especially gp's or junior doctors. I'm not in the medical profession but medicine in general interests me(I have a few health problems myself and like to know as much as possible) Also read one medical book called the world's worst medical mistakes.unbelievable stuff. I'm currently reading the girl on the train by Paula Hawkins. Anyway fone flat,book to read,be back soon!

Ha,lady of the night.I typed a "w" word there and the filter changed it to lady of the night.Made me chuckle,I'm definitely a male!

Hello everyone I've just signed up and thought a intro would be good. I'm male,nearly 40 and from and living in the north of the UK. I describe my self as somewhat as a book 'lady of the night',I don't discriminate when it comes to books. Thrillers,sci-fi,fantasy,biographies,music,feel good,medical,young adult.I could go on all night,basically I'm game for anything (with in reason) Anyhow I'm looking forward to connecting and chatting with you all.
