Literature?

No chick flick type books.

Nothing political whatsoever.

Nowt that says 'we'r all desi's lets relate'.

Am currently reading 'Pies and Prejudice, in search of the North' By Stuart Maconie. He's a British broadcaster and journalist. Used to be a Northerner but now lives in the South. Quite a funny read. I only brought it as I loved the opening quote.

' If your an alien, how come you sound like you come from the north?'

' Lots of planets have a North.'

Doctor Who, 2005.

Hmm...You could try Wodehouse maybe?He is really witty(always assuming you like humourous novels)

Or,you could also try reading Bill Bryson. He mostly writes travelogues.And he has a really unique and funny style.He has also written a very interesting and informative book about Shakespeare.

I don't remember any other books by him, but I really enjoyed reading them. Especially the one about America, and the one about travels in Europe.

Yes he did. I have a copy, but never read it. So cannot comment on that. But I like his travelogues. And the one about Shakespeare is also really good.
