Tiger Eyes - Judy Blume.

Macbeth - William Shakespeare.




Ha ha Forever by Judy Blume would be on my list icon_wink.gif Although now I dread my own daughter reading it.



I've read so many books I can barely remember the ones that really "get" me.

Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graeme remains a firm favourite

And despite the nature of the book "The story of O"


Have just finished reading Macbeth ... loved and hated it at the same time.

I loved Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - in fact, that may be due for a re-read over the summer. Cheers for posting!

'The art of zen...'

Lol, I was getting more than my knickers in a twist when I typed that! All the right words...just not necessarily in the right order!

A re-ordered Hylas
