Just finished it - loved it!  I'm hoping he really is planning on doing a series as his bio states.

He has this one too now

A Year in the Merde, by Stephen Clarke.  Funny as hell!  So true, too.

Finally got 'round to reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.  Been planning to read it ever since DH and I visited Savannah back in 2003 when we were dating -- such a gorgeous town!

I completely agree with you, Carolyn. The book was brilliant and glad I read it before the movie came out, which was good too. Savannah IS gorgeous.

And we were there at the end of August, so it really was like being in a steambath the whole time -- but we still loved it!  (I've been so busy with Christmas prep, I've not got back to the book yet...looking forward to finishing it while being lazy at the in-laws.)

Catch-22  Thought I'd read it yonks ago but it's not at all familiar, except in movie form. Excellent book! I've been pissing myself laughing most of the time!

Talk to the Hand by Lynne Truss; it was one of my Christmas pressies from Jamie.  He gave me her book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves, last year and I enjoyed it so much that, when I saw she had this new one out, I requested it.  And, as with Eats, Shoots and Leaves (which is about the lack of regard for proper grammar and punctuation), Talk to the Hand (which is about the general - and epidemic - rudeness of humanity) is sooooo funny (she makes me laugh out loud)...and so TRUE!

Lynne Truss references Watching the English quite a bit in Talk to the Hand!  I may have to pick it up after I finishing reading Talk to the Hand.

The Wishing Game by Patrick Redmond. I'm only on page 40, so can't give an honest opinion yet.
 I currently work in a bookstore. But I'm being made redundant on the 18th as its closing, so I'm saving up some money to buy loads of books. I just finished reading Come Closer by Jennifer Egan, that was one disturbing book! :o
