Jen it's probably the new MJFox Nokkon means? It's only out in hardback at the mo I think.
Karl, someone else has catch 22 but he's supposed to be bringing it back tomorrow. Soon as I get it I'll try and dig out SWM and send them both!

. Must really get my books read. Got so many I have lined up to read, but the ones I really want to read will jump to the front such as Catch 22 and Atlas Shrugged.

Finished Stone Of Destiny last night and it's a captivating read - Ian Hamilton is acerbically funny, a sharp and astute commentator with a great appreciation for irony. I still don't agree with all his conclusions but I don't need to for enjoying the story. I can highly recommend it both as a bit of fairly recent history and as a yarn in its own right.
Now I've picked up The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman by Bruce Robinson, about a quarter of the way through and it's pretty strange so far.

Or buy it cheap in hardback?
.Currently still struggling my way through Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Just isn't as charming as the others. Doesn't help I left it about 3-4 years between reading the 5th one either, I can't remember the bloody characters outside of the main trio, Ginny, Hagrid and Dumbledore! Some bloke is engaged to Fleur and living at the Weasleys house, but I don't even vaguely remember his character! This isn't the first time I've had this problem, it just mentioned the character "Mundungus".... WHOO!?!? I'm amazed I can't remember these characters, I've read all the books and sadly, seen all the poor films, yet it still isn't clicking. But can remember almost everything from books I read 5-10 years ago! What's more annoying, I can't search in case it ruins anything from either this one (which I'm now 1/2 way through) or the last one.

Change of plan: My Mum treated me to Yes Man
Looks a really interesting concept and probably a far bit more upbeat than recent stuff too!

It's a good book Haly, Danny Wallace tends to write quite wryly amusing stories and this one is no exception.
