gardengirl Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Could it be Lyra's Oxford [Philip Pullman]? I haven't actually read this book but have read 'of it' and it sounds as if this may be at least the 'sort' of book it could be? Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Sorry, I haven't been able to reply earlier, but ... My guess is The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. is correct!!! Well done, Athena, over to you for the next one. Quote
Athena Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks ! Here's the quote: "I like dogs. You always know what a dog is thinking. It has four moods. Happy, sad, cross and concentrating. Also, dogs are faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk." Quote
TintagliaIceFyre Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Hmm, I THINK this might be The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? Quote
Athena Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 TintagliaIceFyre, you get to do the next quote ! Quote

Some are such excellent copies that only the most sophisticated equipment can tell they are not real. And the workmanship is..." Edited November 15, 2013 by Vimes Quote
