Just finished Stephen Fry's The Liar - fab if a little disorientating at times.
Currently reading Belle De Jour's Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl
(otherwise known as secret diary of a call girl).
Terribly intellectually challenging!!! It good - not as graphic as some of the other books I have read (eg, girl with a one track mind, sleeping around, diary of a married call girl) but somewhat glamourises prostitution. Often makes me think there might be good money to be made.........
I do also read 'proper' books (no offence to the autheros of abovementioned but I mean not porn!!)
I really enjoy Kathy Reichs, Ben Elton and Jeremy Clarkson stuff.
Has anyone on here read Catch22? Have heard so many people recommend it as a book to read before you die but I really can't get into it - got to about chapter 3 or so before giving up!!! Is it worth persevering?
