more books i like

i've been thinking about some of the other books, music and films that i like. it's funny - when you're asked at the beginning to write down the things you like, you're in rush and later you realise you've missed out some important stuff. other books i've read recently that i have really enjoyed include rbc pierre's vernon god little. so fantastically well written - i highly recommend it to everyone. also the curious indicent of the dog in the night-time (by mark haddon? not sure of his name!). i read jane eyre recently, although it didn't blow my mind. i love dh lawrence's prose (particularly love lady chatterley). have also enjoyed flaubert (translated into english - i'm not that pretentious) - sentimental education and madame bovary. i have read the regeneration trilogy (pat barker) and discovered an interest in first world war literature (hence also enjoying birdsong). in the non-fiction category (although i don't read much non fiction) i really enjoyed 'touching the void' by joe simpson (and the recent film also), and have subsequently read a couple of his other books. you wouldn't think i would be into mountaineering, but there you go. have also read 'the prodigal project' - quite an old book about emerging church projects around the world.
