Great books I have read

[Francisco]

When a teenager, I was determined to read the New English Bible...cover to cover..

can't see many kids today doing it...did me no harm, though, but didn't turn me into a churchgoer!

Do any of you guys use a Kindle.
I know you can`t beat the feel and smell of good book ( much like a good woman ) but a Kindle is much more convenient and you can get so many good books for so little money on Amazon and sometimes free as well.

Kindle for me for convenience, although I must admit I do enjoy the "feel" of a proper book occasionally.

Yes so do I and of course not all books are available on Kindle.

I love any book by Charles Dickens and have read them all, but my most favourite has to be A Christmas Carol.

Be warned, the BBC have given it "the Treatment" for this Christmas...Did Dickens use the word "fuck" in his book, and have somebody urinating on Scrooges gravestone?
Well , he did according to the Beebs version!!!!

[Brandyboy]

Well I shan`t be watching it. !!

I hope the Beeb never apply their' artistic licence' to Its A Wonderful Life because I firmly believe what Clarence said " Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings"

I loved The lion the witch and the wardrobe, when young, Aslan was my hero lol

...just finished "The Forgottn Highlander"
The author A Urquart died 3 years ago aged 97. He survived the capture of Singapore, worked on the Death Railway, helped build the Bridge over the river Kwai,was torpedoed whilst on a slave ship to Japan,worked there as a factory slave, and witnessed the Atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki!
Suffered the effects all his life, got no apology from the Japanese,and was awarded £10000 compensation in 2000, paid not by Japan, but by the British government!!
An unbelievable story of suffering and endurance!

Oh, and the film was nothing like the truth, either.
