A list of books

[tadorna]

Here is a list of all the books lying around cluttering up my bedroom in a state of unreadness/half-readness:

• Prime, Poppy Z Brite


• Untold Stories, Alan Bennett


• The Rough Guide to Classical Music


• Doctor Who, Kim Newman


• The Noonday Demon, Andrew Solomon


• Staying Alive: Real Poems for Unreal Times


• The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, Dorothy L Sayers


• Fragile Things, Neil Gaiman


• Never the Bride, Paul Magrs


• The Ode Less Travelled, Stephen Fry


• Giving Up the Ghost, Hilary Mantel


• The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova


• Summoned by Bells, John Betjeman


• The Taste of Britain, Laura Mason and Catherine Brown

I also have one on its way from eBay, plus a number of ebooks stored on my flash drive, just in case...

EDIT: Actually, now I look at it, that list is disappointingly small. I must go and buy more books!

Paul Magrs wrote a rather lyrical teenage novel that I am very fond of. :)

You should see my TBR pile! Every now and again our book group category is for each of us to read one from our piles. ;)

Ah yes, I know of that one, although I haven't read it. I bought this after reading an interesting piece about him in the paper. I knew his name from various Doctor Who novels I haven't actually read (plus I knew he'd written a DW audio play called 'Horror of Glam Rock'). This is about the Bride of Frankenstein, who now goes by the name of Brenda and runs a B&B in Whitby. How the hell was I supposed to resist?

There is abslutely no way you could have resisted in the face of sucvh temptation!

I think I knew he wrote DW novels! Bizarre. O.o
