I rarely read a book more than once. I figure there are too many unread books out there for me to waste time one one I've already read. LOL. I read Lost Souls for the second time at the start of the year because I wanted to see if it was as amazing as I remembered it being. It took me a long time to get into it but I did like it, just not as mind blowing as the first time I read it. Neverwhere was different. I got sucked into it immediately and I loved every page. The mark of a truly great book if you ask me :)
I'd love for them to make a film of this (I know they're already doing Stardust, which I will have to read again before the film comes out). If they did a film of Neverwhere I think it would have to be directed by Tim Burton or possibly M. Night Shyamalan. Johnny Depp would play The Marquis, someone like Bryce Dallas-Howard could play Door and Richard would be someone like Ioan Gruffudd. Or possibly Ewan McGregor.
Next on the book list is Lord Hornblower by C.S Forester. Not the first Hornblower book, I know, but it's the first one I bought. It's a lovely old hardback edition that I found on this small secondhand book stall. The first owner has written his name inside and there is the date April 1948. I'm almost scared to touch it. It's an antique! Only cost me £2.50
