Happy WBD 2016
What's your favourite novel?
I love reading and can always be found buried in a good read especially in the bath or on the beach.
Catcher In the Rye, The World According to Garp and Galapagos are among my favs.
I'm currently reading High Rise by JG Ballard.
For the avoidance of doubt - watching a movie with the subtitles on DOES NOT qualify as reading the book  |

Mine was always lord of the rings when i was younger (about 9 or 10), then it became Catcher in the rye - which I've just had to buy a new copy of as mine is wrecked lol I don't tend to read as much now, became very lazy with it and have a very short attention span. |

Seems everyone only reads classic novels lol
Right now I'm loving Tom wood's "Victor the assassin" novels...nothing high brow, just some good old violence |

Always have something on the go. I read until the cows come home.
My fav book ever is probably to kill a mockingbird. Catcher in the rye comes close second.  |

Don't just red classics I'm not sure Buddha Da would come under that. It's just they are the books that have touched me in some way that I can think of off the top of my head. I'll read the back of a toilet duck bottle.
As for Homer that was more just from school and Latin class. Not really sitting through the Illiad and Aenied most nights. |

For me, The Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Alone In Berlin, by Hans Fallada, Guernica, by Dave Boling, and the traditional dystopian/weirdo ones, 1984, Brave New World & Catcher.
I have also read Homer.
And Bart, Marge, Lisa & Maggie. |

Paul Johnston body politic and subsequent books. Chris brookmyre Denise Minha louise Welsh Peter May Anne cleeves and that's just Scottish writers. Banks goes without saying, sci fi included.we should organise a book club on fab, we could even invite the hound! |
