Guess which ones i haven't read...
love, fiona
none of them? it can't be all of them! Can't imagine you reading Bridget Jones or Stephen King though...
I've only read a few of them..I don't seem to get time to read "real" books!The internet is my book these days...all the world is an author
Fiona reads my King... She's just finished Pet Sematary... You should put some Philip K. Dick on that list - I recommend "The World Jones Made"
Theo
ah I stand corrected! I will add your book to the list...I'm sure the Guardian won't mind one more.
