Another vote for Atonement but without giving the ending way, did anyone else find it extremely annoying at the end?? It almost spoilt the whole book for me. Not read the whole thread but I'll be amazed if Birdsong by Sebastian Faulkes isnt in here somewhere. It should be. And anything by Armistead Maupin. The first chapter of Enduring Love (Ian McEwan again) is probably the most gripping (or not!) in modern literature. Anyway, must go, time to annoy run4yourlife again by pulling bits of his windscreen wiper off.

Disagree about French Revolutions. Cheap shots at the French does not a Bill Bryson make.

I enjoyed Bold Man of the Sea by Jim Shekhdar. One mans journey rowing across the Pacific unsupported.

Margarette Atwood writes good books.I like Amy Tan, too and whoever it was who wrote The Colour Purple (sorry - you wouldn't believe that I work in a library - I can't remember her name!). Also there's another good book I'd like to recommend but it's in the basement and I can't go and check the title right now because I'm on duty! I'll let you know what it is later.

oh yes of course! It was there, lurking in the back of my mind!
