    Should read: Soviet leaders, or Bolshevik Revolution, not Russian Leaders or Russian Revolution. Slightly pedantic point I know but not to some.

    ah, might skip it then thanks...
    read eric sykes one recently and it was a great read. such a nice guy.
    I'm on kenneth williams one now, so i need a fiction book to read after, anyone read the new dean Koontz, 'Brother odd'? ive read the other 'odd' books by him and they were great.

    wish my library would sort themselves out and get some decent books in.

    Anyone read any Tom holt? he is VERY funny, nearest thing i've found to dear old Douglas Adams.

    now it is

    I didn't get the gay thing from the story I read though. It has a guy that might be gay giving money to and trying to arrange a meeting with someone that is not revealed to be gay or straight, but seems more about trying to survive without any money than about anything else.

    I guess "At Swim, Two Boys" by Jamie O'Neil could be a title of a gay book (or whatever), but maybe there is a subtext to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, too. I'll ask the Cat's Mother.
