Just had to comment Darren, I've never met anyone else who's read the Poldark series, I have all of them lol. Did you watch the TV series? And as for Discworld, they're addictively funny. Lou |

One of my all time favourites has to be Bill Bryson I love his books for the interest factor, and his sense of humour is something else. Highly reccomend him!! Lynda |

I love historical novel and especially like E V Thompson at the moment. His books are set in Cornwall mainly around the old tin mines. I have also read some of Wilbur Smith, Josephine Cox and Virginia Andrews although I don't read quite as much as I used to. Mel |
