I would say it's more of a general list. I have not read all the books on there but the ones I know vary from childrens to YA to contemporary.

No worries, it actually looks like a mix anyway ;)
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Now I usally read either si/fi-fantasy or crime but occasionally go for something a bit different. This was different. It is set in a fictional steam/punk Victorian era. It's almost like a boys own story for adults with a bit of erotica thrown in, quite a bit of erotica. Sounds like one for Sydney. You need to get past the first couple of chapters and you'll either be hooked or give up on it. I don't want to give the story away so just give it a try.

Hey Syd starting to build a visual picture of you now, red hair and a red bottom.

Has anyone read The Small Hand by Susan Hill? Contemplating whether it's worth going out and getting the Sunday Telegraph then schlepping all the way to the nearest Waitrose to collect it...

Hi,
If somebody is looking for something more relaxing and funny I can recommend Tom Sharpe's "Wilt".
You'll find yourself laughing to yourself in a bus many times.

Can anyone recommend any books for me ready for when I get my kindle? :)

Stuff that I'm reading/have read at the moment runs like this..
SKullduggery Pleasant
Harry Potter
Twilight
The Owl Killers
The Left Hand of God
Limitless
The host
I Am Number Four
Complete Darren Shan Sagas
Hitchhiker's saga

Anything similar to that would be grand! :)
Absolutely no romance crap though :P
Shadowhunters: Looking better in black than the widows of our enemies since 1234.
I am, after all, what you made me.

Not sure if this is the best place for this but the Evening Standard are offering the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy book for £5 at any Foyles until 30th Nov. If anyone is interested, here is the link for the voucher:
