# The best book I've ever read
is One Hunderd Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I'm currently reading If On A Winters Night A Traveller by Italo Calvino, and its bringing up the rear, so to speak.

And how the hell did we get to 600000 posts so soon?

# eh up the cultcha wagon's arrived
Hundred Years is very good and my better half has Winters Night on the bookshelf but I've always been put off by the pretentious title. Also I saw The Boy Who Kicked Pigs in Fopp during the festivities but never bought it. Shame.

# Everything is illuminated
by Jonathan Safran Foer is rather good

# I recommend Winters Night
it's cracking so far... very creative. The title is the name of the book the central character (you?) buys in the start.

# maybe
we should open a sweepstake on when B3ta reaches 1,000,000 posts - I'm going with October 4 2003.

# A new champion
Strong Motion by J Franzen (the guy who wrote The Corrections) is tippy top lit in my ever so 'umble opinion.
