Pam,

It's not The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,

You need to watch the BBC comedy The League of Gentlemen (TLoG), then the film TLoG Apocalypse!

Very dark and strange and unlike anything you'd ever watch ever ever ever!

Yes, I read My Sister's Keeper first. I just finished The Tenth Circle. She does a great job of writing a novel that will appeal to teenagers as well as adults. Or maybe I just love all kinds of books! I've read all of the Harry Potters and I like Dan Brown also. (I'm a sucker for cliff-hangers!)

Colin,
It is "amazing". Follow on reading - Tenth Insight & Secret of Shambala. If you are coming to Aberdeen, let me know and I will PM my phone no to you.

At the moment I am reading - Honeymoon - James Patterson & Musgrave of the Marshes (John Peel)

I will go home and do a search. I do get the BBC channel on cable, but it is selective. I am into watching Sea of Souls now.

Has anyone seen that? I figure it might be "old" since I am getting it via cable on BBC.

I've read all the Harry Potter books too. I've just finished Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult, and Last witness by Jillian Hoffman. I'm currently reading Cold Granite by new author Stuart Macbride. It's a crime novel set in Aberdeen. rolleyes.gif laugh.gif rolleyes.gif

I'm onto a new series "Anita Blake - Vampire hunter" by Laurel K. Hamilton. They are very good books for those that like a bit of fantasy/horror and the author is very witty. smile.gif
