Fanks :)
do you like autobiographies? Stephen Fry's is supposed to be really good.

Funnily enough I read a fiction by Stephen Fry only recently
and I hated it. He was just using it as a platform to use as many long and unusual words as possible. Plus there was horse fuckery. For serious.
But his autobiography might be better because he's had a pretty interesting life. I shall add it to the list, thanks badge.

Which one was that? I have a couple of his fiction books but don't remember any horse fuckery.

The Walrus, I think, is the one with the horse porn in.

My friend has just lent me Liar because she said it was really good
so I thought I'd give him another shot.

It was his first book and I think his best (except for his autobiographies)

Yes, that one. I liked it.
It's the only one of his I've read, though.

The Hippopotamus?
That's a cracking book.

I didn't think so
It wasn't dreadful, but I just felt sometimes he was showing off. I liked the sort of twist at the end, but it wasn't really worth it.

Dr John's autobiography is utterly brilliant.
