There is off course THE BOOK, you could read Dover, but i am not sure your brain would get round it.

shut up roofer boy, maybe you should branch out in to fencing too?

if you're referring to the bible, I've read it, but like I said in my first post I like my fiction to at least be plausible.

Please get it right, Kubrick did not write the book, Anthony Burgess did. His film however of the same name was based on the book, though with quite a different ending.
Dover I too would recommend this book.

You know, I knew it didn't sound right when I typed it....was having a blonde day yesterday, clearly!!

Never seen the movie - I hear it's rather good, but don't want it to spoil what I have in my head from the book.

I'd definitely agree with the other posts which recommend Bill Bryson's stuff - a bloody good author and very funny.

First half is apocryphal...second half is merely wildly exagerated.

But then that's just an opinion.

Bryce COurteneys Whitethorn
Stephen King's range
To Kill a Mockingbird if you are into that sort of thing
A fortuanate life - A really interesting Autobiography of a bloke in Australia in the early 1900's and his life ) I cant remember the guys name tho...sorry.
Wilbur Smith writes a good load of novels
The great Gatsby is an interesting view of America in the 1920's, a bit wanky though...lots of symblosim and crap
The Rich Dad Poor Dad series
I have a whole pile at home, will see what i have read recently that is any good.

Okay, I've just figured out Dover is being serious.

I've just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. Apart from being hilarious, it's a fascinating insight into the autistic mind.

Read it, then you may just understand me a little better.

Reminds me - I saw a fascinating sub plot in 'Go Dog Go' By Dr Seuss the other day too. It's all about hats.

This is why i need a fuckin book. It took me forty minutes to write this on my 3g skodafone. Progress my arse.

The amount of crap you write on this site Dover you could have written your own book.

I suspect you may well be right. Have a crack at a short story when you get a moment. I know you wouldn't be embarrassed to post it...
