You're such a rock chick Grock - I'd agree with you though, it's a good read. Much better than Mr Mayler's efforts.

My latest was Cornwell's latest in his series of 8 books about the late 800's to early 900's. This one follows the Pale Horsman and is called, The Lords of the North. His history, mixed as an adventure is brilliant. His facts, though maybee not chronilogical, are amazingly researched.This early series is about King Alfred, and the Danes.
Next stop, the latest Jack reacher by Lee Childs. Then on to David Baldachi's latest. Don't watch much Television. Good book and the wireless, and I'm happy as Larry. (whoever he was!)

Jopsy, so young and innocent. :wink:

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

I'm not so sure about the innocent bit.....

I've read Driving over Lemons, and thoroughly enjoyed it - better than the one by Carol Drinkwater that our book group paired it with (can't remember the title - something to do with olives?)

Old H, I buy far more books than I can possible read. I'm saving them for my retirement! I've got a long way to go though...

Zena, the trouble is as you get older your taste in reading will probably change, so all the books you have been saving won't interest you.
Although a wealthy young lady like yoursef will be able to buy some more. :wink:

You might be able to afford that book that is coming out in ten years time called, Tales of Old Herbaeous. :wink:

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Posted: **Thu Jul 06, 2006 9:51 pm**

Jopsy you could do the illustrations, and i'll will do the signing. :wink:

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Jopsy, now you have got Old Herbaceous all of a tremble, he was bad enough when you let him see your photo and then sent him off to that dodgy clothing website.

Now he is imagining you standing there starkers, sketching him for his book, nude drawing indeed, you'll never get the paint off. :oops:

Poor OH and in this hot weather as well. :cry:
