I got sent this by accident from Mango but it's proving to be quite funny. Sort of like a sexed up version of Bridget Jones perhaps? I've never read that though.

The author, who wishes to remain anonymous, has a blogspot here. Just a little taster of what the book may be like, but it does have a lot of entries about the actual book. Which the book doesn't. :/

i bought and read this recently. was alright, but i was hoping for something more erotic like anais nin or similar to that. its meant to be all fact but im not too sure, what did you reckon?

1984 - George Orwell, Ive started to read this book so many times but now i have no more books other than an etiquite (sp) book left to read and i dont fancy learning the proper way to sit on a chair just now... The books quite funny though, about all the silly things people did to be polite in the 1800s

Just picked up 'Dead Famous' by Ben Elton. It's a whodunnit set in a big brother style house. Piqued my interest anyway!

Yeah I was expecting it to have a bit more content on her job. I was sort of thinking "oh is that it?" when I finished.
A few laugh out loud bits, but yes, quite tame.

I'm revisiting the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, reading "Interview...." just now, first time I've read it since before I saw the movie at the cinema! I have almost the entire collection, so I'm gonna read them all in order, might take a while, after that I think I'll move on to the Discworld collection!

You probably know this, but just in case, there are more than just the 3 in the Vampire Chronicles:
Interview with the Vampire
The Vampire Lestat
The Queen of the Damned
The Tale of the Body Thief
Memnoch the Devil
The Vampire Armand
Merrick
Blood and Gold
Blackwood Farm
Blood Canticle

Then there is also the New Tales of the Vampires:
Pandora
Vittorio

Im reading:

Neil Davidson, Discovering the Scottish Revolution - 1692-1746
Its about the role of the various political factions in the run up to the act of union and thereafter as well as the changes in Scottish society that took place during the time. Some of the writing is a bit dull but the info in it is very interesting.

Also going through:
J.C.Jessop, Education in Angus - An historical survey of Scottish Education from earliest times up to the act of 1872 from original and contemporary sources.
This is in a series of 2 othe rbooks I picked up (from 1872-> and stirling up to 1872) all about how the education system started. Theres also spatetrings in it of the political changes happenning throughout (particularly Jacobitism in Angus) throughout the period, also very interesting.
