Hi there, . I hope you are coming back under another user name so that we can chat under less confusing circumstances. Thank you for changing, Im not putting it on i really only a novice at this game and I would have found changing a bit daunting.
Back to the books. History was always my favourite subject at school and I have dipped into Pepys acouple of times And Mayhew sounds interesting. I like the social history side, not royalty. I would much rather know how they cooked etc than who married who, thats why I like good historical novels I suppose.
Will you let me know your new user name so that I can look out for you

Dundurn, ive not read any of those, though I have seen Dorothy Durnett's name before. As you have obviosly gathered I enjoy novels that are historically based . The list of must look at has increased substantially since the beginning of this thread.
Vic, I have seen your name loads of times in other sections,hello.
Omg, you are quite right in your choice. I love Douglas Adam's Hitchhikers which I first heard on the radio. What a shame he died so young, if he'd lived longer I am sure we would have had other books of a similar calibre.
Is the Runaway Jury the one where the tobacco industry is indited. If it is , it is the most convincing example of the conspiracy theory. I dont normally buy into that theory but I was totally convinced by the rationale. I have urged my second sprog, who is a smoker, to read it but unsuccessfully so far.
Please excuse spellings and typos,

Oneeyedvic, yes, thats where Ive seen you.
To answer your other question, I tend to have just one book going at a time, but Mr R is like you in having several going at one time.
We all have our different reading styles dont we. I have to confess I do ocasionally turn to the end of the book. Mr R is horrified, but if its a good book i carry on and read to the end and it doesn't spoil it for me.
The next book on my list is Shantaram which is autobiographical. Mr R has raved about it as has another person in a previous thread.
