Bill Bryson is brilliant. His UK book was hilarious.

I don't really read fiction any more... um. Dirk Gently is good.

I've never heard of Dirk Gently. *googles* Ooh, Douglas Adams. I've been meaning to read his stuff for some time now, and never got around to it.

Although, after that tree nymph travesty, I'm not sure I should trust your judgment at all! lol

Dirk Gently is miles better than the HHGGTG stuff. I fully recommend zen detectives FTW.

The nipple frond was a fluke! ZOMg.

Yep - fan fiction has been very hard on my reading of actual holdable books. LOL I've gone from a couple a week to probably a couple every few months. If that!

Heh, I think you're still doing better than me. The fact that I never really got comfortable with the public library around here was another contributing factor... I was in and out of the library once a week at home, but I don't really go now that I've moved.

Hehehe
I still read books, won't say where I am when I read, cos TMI but you can probably guess. It's a place where people (ie my kids) won't come annoy me too much or climb on me.
I love Jennifer Rardin, vampire novels, so much UST, and kick ass action. I have a problem with non fiction, I just can't get into it. Back in Feb/March and the marital problems, a friend made be buy Dr Phil's book on relationships. It's still at the bottom of my bag. I'm a fiction reader through and through and lately a fanfic reader mostly.. Where else can I get smut!!??!
I want the Dresden Files audio books!! *pouts*

I have two of the audio books - Storm Front and Grave Peril. I haven't listened to the second one yet. Much as I like hearing James' voice, I find it hard to pay attention to the audio books. I prefer actually reading it on the page.

I used to get audio books from the library to listen to in the car when we lived in Auckland. Cos it took so long to go anywhere. Then we moved to a small town. And the tape deck in my 'new' car eats tapes. ^_^
