fratelli Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 One of the few books I have read more than once is 'Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance' and it seems to get better every time I read it. It has a bit of a reputation as a new age hippy bible, but I found it very insightful. It contains a massive scale of thought and philosophy. Everyone I know thats read it either love it or hate it. Another but just for fun, The Bible, the Old Testament According to Spike Milligan nevers fails to get belly laughs. In fact any of the classics (Treasure Island, Robin Hood) according to Spike are brill Jeez, bit of a contrast eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjool Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Oh aye... HHG; good call! Read this one many times as it was the book I studied for English Higher. Brilliant book/game/film(s)/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whittie Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night by Christopher Brookmyre. I've read it a few times noo an it still makes me laugh oot lood! Fjool, I did The Color Purple for my English Higher and I hiv to say, I couldn't bring myself ta read it ageen. I'm vexed I used a book I quite enjoyed and picked it to pieces to bore an English teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
