2. The Last Days of Krypton - Kevin J. Anderson
3. New X-Men - Grant Morrison
4. This Thing of Darkness - Harry Thompson
5. Hamlet - William Shakespeare
6. Superman Returns - Marv Wolfman
7. Shakespeare - Bill Bryson
8. Buffy Omnibus vol 1 - Misc
9. Buffy Omnibus vol 2 - Misc
10. Spike: Shadow Puppets - Brian Lynch
11. A Portrait of Lord Nelson - Oliver Warner
12. Anything Goes - John Barrowman

I really wish I'd managed to get this finished before I met John on Sunday. It would have given me something to talk about. LOL! It's a really good book though. Funny and insightful. Definitely a refreshing change from when I read Astin'a autobiography (who remembers my posts of rage?)

Next on the list is 500 Reasons Why I Hate The Office. Every Christmas Mum-Ra buys me some sort of funny novelty book. This was last years. I don't really work in a normal office environment any more but I'm sure I'll still get a laugh out of it

I'm glad you liked it. I keep wanting to buy it but it's not available in any of the stores here and I get antsy about buying a book without being able to touch it first (weird, yes.)

I would send you my copy but I borrowed it from my mum :(

Its ok, I will buy it eventually, its just my weird quirk about wanting to know I'm probably going to like a book before I buy it. I want to get copies of the TW novels that arn't at the bookstore anyway, so I'll have to order those too.

I haven't read any of the Torchwood novels yet. I generally only buy tie-in books if someone recommends them or I get them as a present. LOL!
