Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I was just wondering if anyone has a particular favourite book or books that they really enjoyed
I have two:
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
The Colour Purple - Alice Walker
To chill out and have chuckle to I lift a one of my battered Bill Bryson books
I'm always after a good read (as well as weed) so please share your thoughts...

codejd, surprised they never turned that into a movie.
Fun book, and quite unlike alot of his other stuff.
I finnished " Under The Dome " by him last week, was pretty good, but not up there with The Stand or The Talisman.

I seem to have identified quite a few comedians with this thread!

Mine was actually a serious choice this time, ya didn't say it had to be a novel. I'm very proud of my mint condition copy of Fungus.
