Hi, Jenny;
As I posted the other day, I've started on re-reading Tolkien, starting off
with the Hobbit. It isn't my favourite, but I always use it as an intro to the
Lord of the Rings, the only book I've never got tired reading, and re-reading.
There's just so much in there; a simple quest story overlaid with poetry,
mythology, a fantastic mythical history, and so many questions left unanswered.
I also have the Silmarillion, and Sons of Hurin, on CD. Both these are set way
before the Third age, and are very complicated and strange at times, but
nonetheless brilliant, absorbing reading.

Hi book lovers,
whilst away I was able to listen to a couple of books. Have you read the
Thunderbolt Kid, written and read by Bill Bryson. This is one of the funniest
books I have enjoyed , the story of his childhood is well worth listing to.Bill
Bryson is about the only American voice that I can enjoy.
If you haven't listened to this it is worth a good holiday
read.
"Sister" written by Rosamund Lupton and read by Juanita McMahon, this is a
murder mystery with a difference. and has a couple of unexpected twists and
turns. Worth a read.
The third book I have re read is "Help" can't tell you who wrote it etc
Daughter Jan borrowed it to listen to as she drives to work. This book has been
mentioned on the Bookworm line before. It is the history of the black maids in
Missippi in the early 60's, more of a woman's book but well worth a read.
I get very little time to listen to books, Roger, hates me shutting myself off
so book time is precious.
Please tell us about your favourite book,
Jenny
