I'd love to, but it takes me longer than a week to read a book. I am a very slow reader - I re-read bits and like to read conversations at the pace that the conversation would have taken. None of this skimming and speed-reading nonsense for me.
Asking an all-time favourite book is far too difficult - it's like holidays, food, movies etc. You can't just pick one, or at least I can't.
Too many genres and authors - let alone fiction vs non-fiction.
If I must be pinned down - anything about spies or WW2. And if it's spies in WW2 then heck, it's a winner!

Catch 22
I am reading a great book at the moment; Miracle of Castell de Sangro, its a football book and a true story. I had the connsiderable privlege of spending an afternoon drinking with the author, an American named Joe Maginnis.John Inverdale says that its the best book about footbal that he has ever read. Ive only read this one and its fantastic. Mr Magnolia should get it now if he doesn't have it already.
Next up is the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and I was hearing about an interesting book last night which is called something like The Gulag of Gulags.

Actually Mr rathbone I'm reading a book at the moment that MR P said was one of the best books he's EVER read...... Fortunes Rock by Anita Shreve.I'm quarter of the way through it and I must admit I'm beginning to wonder why I married him,because we seem to differ with this one ......but it might get better so I'll give it a chance but I might fall behind with the monthly thing as its taken me 3 weeks to get this far but I'm ploughing on to see what happens .I'll give my revue in 2005
