Now, I'm on here because I like bright colours and amusing pictures, much like the children's books I read to put me to sleep.
Now, do any of you guys have favourite books/ series of books that are favourites?
Apologies to those fabbers unable to read  |

I have half a dozen in French - my mum's attempt to make me learn another language. But I've got them all in English, one in Dutch and a copy of Asterix and the Normans in Finnish, that I presumably picked up for novelty value |

But then on the flip side I love
Dr Suess , fantasic bed time reads for the children, though somewhat a tounge twister. Enid Blyton Books.
Erotica,Tiffany Reiz,Anne Rice and Anais Nin are a few of my favourites. |

Asterix is ace.
I had most of them as a nipper,some of the characters names are really funny....Chiefwhosmoralsarelastix!
Just today I borrowed a few off my mum that someone she works with gave her,these ones are a bit different though as they've been translated into auld Scots rather than English!  |

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Ostensibly for children,but twisted, dark, and very funny. Great illustrations. I have all thirteen (of course!) volumes. |

Give the film of the same name a try. It's quite "Carry On" in places, but is still meaningful where it needs to be, with laughs galore. Spike is also in it as his father |

"The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov - Foundtion is the best book I've ever read "
This is an incredibly easy read... considering how large it is, much easier going than Dune for instance.
Space opera? |

I loved the Colour of Magic, when I badgered my parents in to buying it for me at a motorway service station. The Discworld novels were constant companions growing up. I think Granny Weatherwax is/was my fav character of the lot...
