Everything most people do gets on my nerves.
Alt: Susan Cooper's 'Dark is Rising series', Ronald Welch's books, Penelope Lively's. Also the Biggles books. And Catweazle.

Any book where a boy of similar age and background to myself gets transported back into the past was a hit with me.

Do you like Flashman?

POTD.

I was going to accuse you of breathtaking arrogance
but actually I think you might be right.

I was hoping Peter Noone would notice I had awarded it to myself.

If anyone else had awarded themself POTD, I would call them an arrogant cunt.
You arrogant cunt.

I'm afraid they went and changed it to Cif
Still tastes the same though

You might prefer Jif, young man, but you're getting a Flash anyway...

Well thank you, sah!
And for the record, I'd rather you didn't. I only just washed it this morning.

Agree with all the above
bar Ronald Welch who I don't think I read. The Grey King by Susan Cooper was fantastic.

Ronald Welch was fucking brilliant.
His books all featured the same family but in different periods in history. Wonderful stuff*


*quite possibly bilge but they were much loved in our house

I still have a copy of the Susan Cooper books
The series is fantastic - see also Alan Garner and Ursula Le Guin.
(berk, Thu 2 Dec 2010, 14:44, Reply)

Ursula le Guin yes
Alan Garner was okay but not in the same league as Susan Cooper/le Guin

I love The Earthsea Trilogy
I've still got it somewhere
(Bazongaloid, Thu 2 Dec 2010, 14:48, Reply)

It was really good
though I didn't like the last book
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 2 Dec 2010, 14:50, Reply)

The one where Tehanu
changed back in to a dragon? I did, from what I remember.
(berk, Thu 2 Dec 2010, 14:54, Reply)

It's called Tehanu yeah
personally for me it was awkward. It didn't fit with the world that she'd previously created.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 2 Dec 2010, 14:57, Reply)

I'm not very discerning
when it comes to books, films or music - I like what I like no matter how shit it is.
(berk, Thu 2 Dec 2010, 14:53, Reply)

I like what I like
...and if I like it, it's fucking brilliant, and if you don't agree, then you are a blithering idiot and thus fair game for scathing putdowns and mockery.
