That book is so funny. The Yes Man is great as well. And if you like Danny Wallace, I'd also recommend any of Tony Hawks' books (the comedian, not the skateboarder)!

did'nt Tony Hawks carry a fridge all the way around Ireland??
I'd love to try that sometime.

Ruth 10-02-2006 01:05 PM

Yeah he did. The book is Round Ireland With A Fridge, and it's my favourite of his books. One Hit Wonderland is excellent too...in fact any of his books will be guaranteed to make you laugh. I had to stop reading the first one in public because I kept bursting into laughter at inopportune moments!

Princess 03-03-2007 04:43 PM

I love reading!

My favourites are the entire Harry Potter series and I also love Chantelles book.

I only read romantic novels or celeb autobiographies. Chantelles was my fav autobiography although Gary Barlows comes a close second!

I have all of Jordans books and they're actually all quite good!

Last full book I read was 'Hopeless Romantic' by Harriet Evans which was amazing if not massive!

Lmao I read those a few years ago as well. A friend of mine recommended them to me and I was like, 'As if I'll like them!' but then just out of interest I started reading them... and found them surprisingly addictive!

I only read up to book 6 or 7! My problem was with the first Cirque du Freak one, because of the big spider and the whole spider thing (cos I hate them), but after that it was continuous!

You've got me wanting to continue reading now... :tongue:

Oh yeah, was that when Darren's best friend was killed and he had to drink his blood and after that he liked pickled onions lol?

Bells 03-03-2007 09:28 PM

OMG I can't even remember! (People will think we're right weirdos reading books like that.... :laugh:) But seriously, HOW addictive! I got to the Vampire Prince bit, him figuring out he was... and then in Book 7 I vaguely remember summat about the vampire-ness continuing and then him drinking blood. The pickled onion thing sounds so random, you're probably right!

You've started me off on an old craze again Sol. :wink:

Sunny_01 03-03-2007 09:56 PM

I love to read and I read ANYTHING!

One of my faves is Good Omens by Terry Pratchet - it makes me laugh out loud and I have read it a few times.

Just finished a lovely book by Jody Picoult - Keeping faith

I also like Terry Brooks as a fantasy author - not everyones cup of tea but lovely books to read :cheer:

Siouxsie 03-03-2007 10:14 PM

i tend to stick to real life

Di2001 04-03-2007 12:52 PM

I'm currently reading Chocolat by Joanne Harris.

I'm really enjoying it. Well, it is about chocolate!!!!

Lauren 04-03-2007 12:56 PM

Has anyone read The Last Victim by Jason Moss?

It sounds depressing and strange, but I bought it because I'm interested in becoming a forensic psychologist. The book is an account from a Psychology student (Jason Moss) where he starts communicating with serial killers on death row and getting to know them and tricking them into believing he was a naieve person, their perfect victim. Anyway, he winds up meeting up with John Gacy on death row, and nearly being killed because he got too much involved without realising it.

The story ends with Jason becoming a Psychology professor and telling people accounts of meeting with these serial killers. This is where the story ends.

HOWEVER, in real life (beyond the book) a few years ago he killed himself, tormented by his past. So it's strange reading the book knowing it ends in tragedy in real life. It really takes you on a journey of his life.
