Although your list did include some books I have loved; Earthly Powers, A Christmas Carol, 1984, The Hobbit, Casino Royale and The Hogfather. 80 Days Around the World and A Tale of Two Cities are at the top of my TBR pile.<br /><br />Glad you are on the road to recovery.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069628911357973492.post-82871071473044612162011-05-06T20:34:35.205+01:002011-05-06T20:34:35.205+01:00That Pratchett one is fantastic.
