I am ashamed at the number books I've bought that haven't been read ...and I've gone out and bought more! I was going to say my eyes are bigger than my belly ... but it doesn't sound right!

I've been told Damon Runyon books are good ...and I should look out for the short story' Sense of Humour' Does anyone have any views on Mr Runyon,or know what book that short story is from? Thanks Sally-Ann

Sounds exciting - I'll have to have a look.

I'm not sure whether you would call them auttobiographies or memoirs ... but I enjoyed these.... Legionnaire by Simon Murray - about serving in the French Foreign Legion. Really enjoyable and interesting insight into this hidden world. Foreskin's Lament by Shalom Auslander - a fantastically funny book about coming of age - pain and humour mixed wonderfully well.

I think Kell has an excellent point - any book that makes you feel sad that you've finished it - is a good book in my opinion!
