Id recommend any book by Martina Cole. They are all based around London's criminal underworld. Very well written

Also he did 3 books that were supposed to be for younger readers... lmao... they to me are the funniest of them all..Start with " The Wee Free Men " "A Hatfull Of Sky" and then the "The Wintersmith". They have the Nac Mac Feegles in them some of the funniest characters in the Discworld.

I absolutely agree with Speedy, you souldn't read them chronically but start with the witches, the are the easiest to gain access to the discworld!
A Hatfull Of Sky" and "The Wintersmith" are rather new ones so I wouldn't really start with them...
My recommendation would be "Lords and Ladies", all my friends who like him and me started with it and it's really good!

Thx very, very much Speedy, I`ll most certainly do that when I have enough time.
I`m not much into fictional books, but I`ll give these a go, if they are that funny
They are quite a lot, I wonder if I can find them in public library

Have you already heard of bookcrossing? Yesterday I found a book on the underground. Love the idea. Check this site out BookCrossing - The World's Biggest Free Book Club - Catch and Release Used Books and release some books

I've been reading this book online thanks to catty reccomending it, going to buy it tommorow so i can read it in hospital..

Amazon.com: Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture: Ariel Levy: Books

I've been stunned at just how many girls sign up to my myspace and their profiles are full of photo's of themselves almost naked, grinding up against other girls, looking like strippers or porn stars and this book is a good explanation for what's happening..
