    Moab is my Washpot - Stephen Fry

     I liked it, but it seemed to stop in an odd place - it only covers half his life! Guess he's writing another one.

    The Girls - Lori Lansens - Have just finished reading this and it was brilliant.  I couldn't put it down, and gave it 10/10.

    The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini

    The Tenth Circle - Jodi Picoult - I have this on my TBR pile.

     You click the edit button in your original post, and then choose the ABC option from the menu above the post and it will scroll through it.

    God, don't ask me how to get the link into your signature, but if you go to the FAQ section, there should be a post in there.
