I first posted this on facebook, but thought it would be interesting to see the results on an actual book forum. The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

Wasn't there a ghost in MacBeth too? Was it Duncan's ghost?

Hello and welcome... why the angry face? Didn't you like the book? Haven't read it myself.

If I remember correctly his father wasn't very impressed with Lestat in 'Lestat', but didn't his father become very old and poorly and he looked after him at some point? It's been a while since I read those books, I quite fancy reading them again

I LOVE Calamari!

Everyone here seems to be really healthy in terms of breakfast

Ooh I forgot about those! Whenever I have them I go through a phase of having them every day, and then I just stop. They are delicious!

I had Nutella on digestive biscuits this morning Sometimes I'll have Rice Crispies, sometimes Special K, sometimes porridge (with golden syrup mmm) and sometimes I'll have a Granola bar because those are yum. Sometimes if there's cake or dessert or something equally inappropriate left in the fridge I'll have that for breakfast As for my favourite... that's pretty tough, at the moment probably Nutella on digestive biscuit

Pasta bake tonight.

Chicken stir fry using the leftover chicken from last night, with rice and various veggies included! Mmmm

I think it's her but can you ever be really sure? Her status updates are usually about reading the New York Times and drinking coffee. I'm friends with Maynard James Keenan from Tool too

I added her one facebook

I love all the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, she is so talented and I wish I was half as good as her when it comes to detail and the amazing characters she brings to life so well! Interview is the first one in the series, the second is The Vampire Lestat which really gives a great insight into Lestat's character and shows the other side - because in Interview Louis tends to make him out as a monster but there's so much more to him than that Although I love the movies, I don't like the fact that Queen of the Damned is so much more different than the book. I still love the movie, and it works well that way, but it deviates from the original story so much I always think of Brad Pitt as Louis, but Stuart Townsend as Lestat because he played it so brilliantly! He's gone more into writing now.

Roast chicken tonight

I just make some fairy cakes, yay!

You know, I don't think I even noticed it didn't have chapters!

Yum I love pizza!

Creamy potato and bacon hotpot (with onions) with cheese on top
