H_B Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Anyway, I've just finished "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. It's about punctuation. While that sounds incredibly dull it is rather humorous I always wondered who actually bought that book. Now I know! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Round Ireland with a Fridge is fantastic! His style is hilarious. Definitely read the followups Playing The Moldovans at Tennis and One Hit Wonderland afterwards - both guaranteed to continue the trend of strange looks on public transport I've read the one about the tennis playing Moldovans! It's hilarious! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Actually, I didn't buy the book. I borrowed it from my girlfriend! I bought it It's alright, humourous in places even, but not as good as I thought it would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also felt she was showing off a little with her punctuation to prove a point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I also felt she was showing off a little with her punctuation to prove a point. To be fair, without reading a word of it I knew that would be the case. Label me surprised 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spanky Rodriguez Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) The last book that i read was the Jeremy Clarkson one that came out at christmas . It's pretty funny though. As you may have guessed, i don't do intelligent I'm currently 3 years behind the rest of the world and reading the Da Vinci Code. I've had it for absolutely ages but never bothered to read it so i thought that i would get round to it before the film comes out Edited April 19, 2006 by Spanky Rodriguez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 don't bother. it's rubbish. I quite liked it. Apparently the film has been panned by those getting a sneak preview though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it for absolutely ages but never bothered to read it so i thought that i would get round to it before the film comes out Thats next on my To Read list too before the film comes out. Under some duress I may add although if millions of people like it I guess it cant be that bad. Mind you millions of people like olives, U2 and Man United so there's no accounting for taste Just finished reading Dan Shaugnassey's account of the 2004 Boston Red Sox team called Reversing The Curse. Fantastic story, well told. B) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spanky Rodriguez Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 don't bother. it's rubbish. It's alright so far. Nothing to shout home about. I'm just amazed by the fact that the wifie detective is managing to work away fine knowing that she has just seen the naked, murdered body of her grandad. Perhaps thats par for the course in France? I'm about halfway through and i will finish it so please don't spoil it for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall be avoiding the film like a Westlife album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
