Tim Stretton Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 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...

I think you'll find there's some sort of fanclub for The Time Travellers Wife, I have picked this book up in shops but never really flicked through it ... is it really THAT good!

Suzanna Addison Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 That was pretty blunt reply... I may have to buy this book or if I can discipline myself, get it out of a library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi Tim, noticed that one of your favourite is Augustus by Allan Massie. I'm not a particular fan of historical fiction, but I read this about 20 years ago, and still remember it (and remember needing a dictionary to accompany it to help with words outside my vocabulary at the time!). I'd always intended to read the other two in the series, but had let it slip my memory, which you've now jogged, so they've been added to my wishlist!
