Must have been a stage in my lfe when I was easily influenced.<br /><br />I love 'I Capture the Castle' too but I think that's one for the girls.mountainearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977393968796316843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-53601185024436840022010-06-29T21:42:55.318+01:002010-06-29T21:42:55.318+01:00Another book for my want to read list.

I've just bought a new copy, but the box it was in couldn't fit into the compact Royce (too full up), so it's now in an attic in Brighton.<br /><br />Julie, that sounds like a good read. Could you give the author's name?Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-17395856281907894412010-06-29T14:11:55.918+01:002010-06-29T14:11:55.918+01:00Okay.

I think I'll put that on my queue on Netflix. May I make a suggestion for a book that is fabulous by a new author and true Americana? It's called "The Help" and all about the black maids in the South in the 1960's around Martin Luther King's time. Very thought provoking and so funny what those maids say about their white bosses. I heard the book on tape is fabulous also.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621530803562406216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-20377693779923016232010-06-29T08:28:55.414+01:002010-06-29T08:28:55.414+01:00I've just re-read it Cro!I've just re-read it Cro!Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-51103296599625597652010-06-29T05:50:54.362+01:002010-06-29T05:50:54.362+01:00A trip to the library is on my list of things to d...A trip to the library is on my list of things to do today.
