Finished Beauty.

I agree with trying The Hobbit before LOTR, it's an easier read. I've never managed to get through LOTR but read The Hobbit a few times.

Ah lost, I knew I recognised him!

Ditto

How about Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy (Northern Lights/The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)? They are some of my favourites.

Good luck with that madcow. I'm on amitriptaline for mine now (which is actually an anti-depressant.) it seems to be working so far, I hadn't had any for a month, but then ran out and had 2 in the space of 5 days.

8 Simple Rules

I really liked this one, preferred it to the angels actually. Although the end did remind me of the daleks in manhattan I see the time for next week has changed again I liked that bit too, maybe a little poke at the fans who were saying he looked too young. I liked the bit where he said "I've never seen fish look so...busty"

I need to find a copy of this...may try the library as I'm having an expensive month.

I may turn over to that, Match of the Day is on but Dad has disappeared

I Fought the Law- Dan Kieran Synopsis (from Amazon) Originally intended to be a simple Christmas humour book, "I Fought The Law" ended up becoming something rather different. The premise was simple enough. Dan was going to spend a year trying to break as many stupid old laws as he could find, for your amusement. You see there are loads of ridiculous laws on the statute book...It is still illegal to beat a carpet in the Metropolitan Police District, to take possession of a beached whale or to get within a hundred yards of the Queen without wearing socks. The list goes on and on. But in the process of researching these silly old laws Dan found a glut of stupid legislation that was equally ridiculous, but these laws had one thing in common - they'd all been passed by our current Government. And when he met a man who has a criminal record for eating a cake that had 'Freedom of Speech' written on it in icing in Parliament Square the idea of breaking the Adulteration of Tea Act of 1776 started to seem a little frivolous.Lifting up this legal concrete slab in the garden of England, however, caused all sorts of creepy crawlies to emerge that began to cast doubt on the health of the nation, so Dan's adventure began to change tack. His journey ended up taking him all across the country where he found some unlikely heroes fighting back. Meet: Dorothy, who spent days living on the roof of a bus station in Derby; a group of pensioners, who were forced to let off stink bombs in a court of law; the man who dresses like Chaplin's tramp and keeps getting arrested outside Downing Street; and, one woman who got an ASBO for being naked in her own home - and a Tourette's sufferer who was given an ASBO for swearing. So, whether it's fighting to protect our environment, our freedom, or the right to live in an unconventional way, "I Fought the Law" is an unashamedly patriotic call to arms to all those for whom enough is enough. Review. This was not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting a bit of a funny book (something like the stuff Dave Gorman writes) but maybe with a serious message behind it. Bits of it yes were funny but I found more of it on the serious side, and at times even a little depressing, kind of fatalist. It was easy to read for a book that turned out pretty serious but did read a bit like a rant a lot of the time, and was very repetative, Would I recommend it? Well it's interesting enough, and it did make me think of things- maybe things that people should think about, so I guess I would say it's not a bad choice. 3/5

Glad you're enjoying it I've not heard of 'A Long, long time ago and essentially true', what's it about?

Finished I fought the law now.

I wasn't keen on this weeks either. I didn't really think we needed that storyline, didn't seem to fit with stuff so far, and I didn't know the songs.

They were my favourites when I was little, I had to get one for her
