What's your favourite....

Book?

Ok may sound a bit dull, but you've got this far. Was on the BBC big read site and people have actually voted for some real crap and some well nerdy stuff that was designed to bore your tits off.

There must be some good stuff, real people actually enjoy and not think they should say.

My choice:

Nick Hornby - High Fidelity (Women or Records, yeah, like there's any debate)
and
Tuff - Paul Beatty (about this guy from the projects in NYC who ends up running in the elections)

I used to read books all the time when I was younger, now I prefer a newspaper or a magazine.


The only books I ever seem to read now are autobiographies

u must have a favourite mate?

never read a book in me life, just the paper, music magazines etc!!!

I dont, all my mates are well into Ben Elton but that fuck wit is the ultimate champagne socialist.

If I did have fave book it would be a football autobiographie & would be Harry Redknapps.

read a lot fo non fiction - but rarely read fiction

i dont really read book's either, more ov mag's and stuff like that, i did read a book about a year ago, it was it was really horrible- 'it was called a child called it' (i think) and it was about this little boy and his mother used to torture him

All my pals swear by the fella, I think you should give Ben another try

That one you got me for Chrimbo was really good. Might get some more of his stuff.

I like Virginia Andrews stuff too

I actually like Ben Elton's stuff. Most of what I've read has been excellent. His best, probably 'Inconceivable' or 'High Society'.

Nick Hornby's 'How To Be Good' is excellent too. Never read 'High Fidelity', but it is on my 'To Read...' list

You got any others that you could bring up for me to read next time youre up?

I liked 'Dead Famous', thought it was up there with his best.

If you're gonna pick up another Ben Elton book though, I'd recommend High Society
'Inconveivable', although good, is a bit soft

Yeah I read this and the accompanying books aswell, made me cry, its horrible, yet at the same time, the best book(s) ive ever read! xx

Saw the feature-length thing on Sky and loved it, didn't know it was lifted from a book though!

There's "the dragon's eye" by stephen king or "good night mr tom" can't remember who it was by though.

Thats a good book. I read it a while back when I was still at school

i aint actually read it, it got read to me.

Same here m8. I think I had to read some out to the class aswell

True , have u read 'a child called it'? i was really shocked coz its a true story aswell ya know! xx
