    But have you read Spike Milligans version of Wuthering Heights?

    Robert Fisks book about the middle east...can't find the title at present but just published.

    Reginald Hill, pommie author of phsycological thrillers.

    Stephen Kings phsycological thrillers, not the horror stuff, and his stories written under the psuedonym (sp), Richard Bachman.

    Any of Tim Hanna's books NZ motorcycling topics

    Basic bodywork repairs, haynes manuals????

    Is that that sarcasm again??? So confused.....

    If not, try The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Anne Bronte) - similar vein, good read.

    I finished a book called Mr Nice recently.

    It's an autobiograhy of a Welsh guy who was Britain's most wanted man for many years, a major international cannabis smuggler and an MI6 agent.

    And it's true. The book is written by Mr Nice himself, Howard Marks.

    Top read.
