I'm really enjoying it! I've got to say more than I anticipated. Been a good time killer today, i've been ill in bed all day! :frown:
I still think my favourite is A Walk in the Woods though!
iv just started reading "join me by danny wallace" again after finally getting it back off my sister who has had it for about 4/5 months now but just before that i was reading the "bedside book of murder" which iv read so many times that a couple of the pages have started to come loose.
Julius Caesar by Shakespeare :colondollar:

Heehee I read it when all three books were combined, took me a fair old while but it was worth it!!


Haha! I was reading it as all 3 books in one but it was very slow going, so I got the 3 book edition in a charity shop (£2.79 and they hadn't been read!!!) and now it's going very well. :biggrin:
