OH JADE WHAT DO I BRING TO OUR FRIENDSHIP IF NOT MANY BOOKS?

I recommend some Agatha Christies, because the good ones are not just good, they are MAGNIFICENT and also fairly short reads so it is a stealthy way to bump up your count. Merlin obsession aside I'd say read The Sword in the Stone (don't bother with the other four) by TH White because it is honestly the most beautiful and lyrical thing I have ever ever read and it took my breath away. There is a new Jasper Fforde which is AWESOME even though it is not about Thursday Next, and I still have Richard Castle's dreadful book to lend you, and also I have found a really really brilliant graphic novel which I was hoping to put on a DVD for you when I send you the Mentalist because I've read it about three times since last Sunday and I feel would appeal to you on many Epic Nerd Levels. I have just done The Great Gatsby and all of Sherlock Holmes and they are both well worth a look.

The list is clearly bollocks, though. It refers to both The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe and The Chronicles of Narnia under different numbers, and the same with the complete works of Shakespeare and Hamlet.

You, lady, deserve a cupcake or something exciting for making this brilliant point! ♥

I echo your above comment about wishing LJ had a facebook-esque "Like" button for this. This is a definite "LIKE" moment :D
