You could try The Masterpieces of Shirley Jackson. Creepy stuff.

You see, I knew Errol Flynn didn't wear woad. Ps. I never heard King Arthur could be Roman but I did hear he might be... FRENCH :eek: any truth in this?

Don Juan. Lord Byron

No offence but someone who'd never read a book before wouldn't get more than 3 pages into M&M. This isn't to say that all you say about it isn't right, just maybe a little tough for first time out. For me this has to be a childrens book, that can be appreciated by adults too. You can't go wrong...

Erm arn't celtic myths a bit more beowulf than Robin hood? As for other mythology, Monkey rocks!

Back to the point for a mo, histerical reads must include Kinski Uncut, by legendary german actor Klaus Kinski. A monumentally obscene, crazed diatribe of fruitcakeism. If you enjoy every second word being f**k and every other page some demented sexual encounter this is the book for you.

The Diary of Samuel Pepys By the way, Crime and Punishment would have been pretty appropriate to follow Tek War don't you think.

Tek War by William Shatner hahahahahaha ps didn't Phillip K. Dick write Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Like you I hope the nonsence changes above don't happen, but films in general are viewed by a public seeking escapism and fun and downbeat endings just don't get bums on seats. eg. Dancer in the Dark. And big money epics need the final uplifting scene so word of mouth doesn't affect the box...

Around the world in 80 days????? Never read it but it descirbed the cartoon pretty well.

Which 'Banks' do you prefer? Personally I've never really been able to get along with his fiction side but love his sci-fi stuff. So it's the M. Banks for me.

James Ellroy if go for seedy crime. The Black Dahlia was good. He wrote LA Confidential as well, which was made into a great film.
