@ Jayway - yeah I know it seems funny to be 'buying' a free book but in order to get Amazon.com to send you the book you have to click on the "Buy Now" form to get it.

Just finished reading 'The Glass Painter's Daughter' by Rachel Hore. I really enjoyed it to my surprise. This was a new author to me and I will definitely be reading some of her other books.

Congo, Michael Crichton. Interesting and annoying people, they never do what I want them to .. Next one is my hospital present from last year, took a long time in the post . . The Wanderers of the Water Realm by Alan Lawton. He lives on the Isle of Mann and so do my friends who sent the book . . .

They turned the book 'Congo' into a film some years back Jay, 1995 I think.

If you want to watch it follow this link and then afterwards click on the following links ie 2 of 9, 3 of 9 etc. enjoy

OOOOO thankyou ... off now, must clean the stable whilst Madam is out under the trees . . OH and it was 18 this morning at 6, I had to dive back indoors for my coat and jeans . . . . . 34 now.

I read a lot of travel books and recently became aware of an Australian writer, Lydia Laube. The one I'm reading at the moment is called 'Llama for Lunch' and it's about her journey to South America. I haven't finished it yet but for some unknown reason, it's reminding me of LLL! You're not a closet writer are you, LLL?

Nope you haven't got the right name - only TWO "L"s.

I'm reading an interesting book right now - "Msomi and Me - Tales from the African Bush" by Brian Connell. Light reading but interesting snippets of establishing a Lodge in Africa. Reminds me of Horus and I could see him writing this one!

If you want tales from Africa LLL, then I'm your man

Thinking about that statement, Horus, I personally would be delighted if you told us a few tales of your African travels!

Why thank you RS, I certainly have a few stories, quite varied, but whether they would be of interest to you all I am not sure.

You'll never know until you write one, will you!

I'm seconding RS request - I'd definitely enjoy hearing your stories H!! AND - as I've been reading Msomi and Me it has definitely reminded me of you
