A re-read of Daphne du Maurier's "The House on the Strand" - brilliant.
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger... an original, moving story
'Diary Of A Nobody', by George and Weedon Grossmith. I re-read this every year. A Victorian Victor Meldrew and his trials and tribulations as he encounters all the problems of the modern Victorian age, made worse by his (Charles Pooter's) pomposity and the irreverance of his son, Lupin.
Little Big
Little, Big tells the epic story of Smoky Barnable -- an anonymous young man who meets and falls in love with Daily Alice Drinkwater, and goes to live with her in Edgewood, a place not found on any map. In an impossible mansion full of her relatives, who all seem to have ties to another world not far away, Smoky fathers a family and tries to learn what tale he has found himself in -- and how it is to end.

I agree, I have read that book, I like historical novels as long as they are factual, don't like slushy romance novels. I like Stephen king and Dean Koontz, read his first two novels in the Odd series, have'nt got round to reading the next, wonder if anyone's selling it? must look, at the moment i am quite into Martine Cole, have read about seven of her novels, not for anyone who thinks life's a box of chocolates********very raw and at times stomach churning.Originally Posted by eleyne81
Good Morning to anyone reading at 5.15am this Tuesday
Just re-read Crystal line by Anne McCaffrey (thanks HannaHolly) an author I always enjoy. Biggest grief is that I have been working my way through The wheel of Time by Robert Jorden and now Will never know how it would have ended, he died last November before he finished the final book in the set - How Dare He!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you will be able to finish the series.
As we all know, Robert Jordan passed away in September, 2007. A Memory of Light, the twelth and final novel in The Wheel of Timeseries, was incomplete at the time of his passing. He left behind a staggering amount of notes on the world, as well as some written chapters for the final book. In addition, for the parts of the story he did not have documented in written form, he passed on in the good, old fashioned way: he told people the story. In his last days he told the story to his friends and family, who recorded it onto tape. In the months that followed his death, Harriet, Robert Jordan's beloved wife and editor, put together a comprehensive outline of this final book.
Brandon Sanderson, an up-and-coming fantasy writer (and long-time fan of Robert Jordans's) was chosen by Harriet to bring the outline to life in the form of a published novel. Harriet will edit this book, just as she did the rest of the series.

Just finished "No Wind of Blame", by Georgette Heyer. Her detective novels are not as well known as her romances, but I'm a whodunit junkie (and loathe historical romance!) so I always wade through boxes of Heyers hoping for a good crime to surface!
I read that when it first came out and thought it excellent. I've recently been listening to the audio version and got interrupted... so thank you for the reminder that I need to listen to the rest!
