Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey Also an excellent film starring Cate Blancett and Ralph Fiennes, directed by Gillian Armstrong . I think Carey won the Booker Prize for O&L in 1988. :p

G'Day Holger, You're right - who hasn't read Astrid Lindgren? I have only read her Pippi Longstocking books but you probably know her others also. I remember wearing odd coloured socks as a child and growing my hair in two long plaits! I had no idea tht she had passed away - very remiss of me...

There are so many books I'd love to see made into films. A full version of Wuthering Heights - one that doesn't end half way through the book, for starters. Was Greystoke a decent Tarzan? Was it true to the book? I love watching old black and white films - they come on the ABC (similar to BBC)...

(The) End Of The Affair by Graham Greene. This novel was based on his own life and was dedicated to his mistress who was a married woman.:cool:

;) Hi my name is Janie and I am a new member who enjoys reading all types of materials - especially biographies. I live in Australia - it is quite hot here right now- more like summer than autumn. I look forward to chatting with you all. Bye, Janie
