Hi everyone,
I'm delighted to have found such a great forum. I like so many different kinds of books it's hard to find a forum that caters to all of them.
The best way I can introduce myself is to tell you my ten favourite books - 'cos that's who I am...
1. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen 2. My Cousin Rachel, Daphne du Maurier
3. Augustus, Allan Massie
4. The Miracle of Castel di Sangro, Joe McGuinness
5. The Time-Traveller's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger
6. Byzantium, John Julius Norwich
7. Master and Commander, Patrick O'Brian
8. The Quincunx, Charles Palliser
9. The Persian Boy, Mary Renault
10. Lyonesse, Jack Vance
I think Jack Vance is the most under-appreciated writer in the English language - but don't get me started on that...
