Penny I am never without books to read. The very idea makes me feel faint! Tom, one book at a time would be my ideal, but - too many books, too little time! jl, i reckon the first was the best of the lot. After that the hype got to the author, imho. Thanks, Sheena!

Read the first one, no probs, but i stalled a quarter of the way through the second. I can see the appeal, i suppose, but they're just not for me. Seem to go through phases as well of being non-fiction inclined then going full-on with fiction for a while. I finally gave in to Harry Potter and bought the first and second in the series.

Otherwise I get confused and start wondering when Mr Micawber is going to get together with Jane Eyre or something. I've never read the book but I know the story about the Broad Street pump - facinating. Ooh, I try and read only one book at a time.
