More books II

As my busy life has taken over again, I've not managed to read as much as I wanted to. However, here's a selection of some of the books I've read over the last month or so, please do let me know your thoughts. Have you read them too? As ever, I have given my recommendations too:

Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years: These books are so brilliant and I can't recommend them enough. If you have not read Adrian Mole before, please do start here: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4. 10/10 for all of them so far. I will be reading its sequel next.

Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics): This is such a good novel by Emily Bronte. It is her only novel and one dreams of what else she could have written. It's full of themes, such as violence and love. It is also a very sad love story, where love turns into hatred. The novel also includes some comedy in the form of the little bit stupid Lockwood. I highly recommend this book! 10/10

Wiped! Doctor Who's Missing Episodes: I love everything to do with this programme (as you may have been able to tell in previous blogs below!), but this really is an excellent book. One of the saddest things about being a fan is that if you didn't watch the early episodes the first time around, you are now unlikely to see them (ever) again. However, although this is very true, two more episodes were found since this book came out - but that doesn't make this book any less interesting. The book explains in great detail why the episodes are missing and then explains how many were found again. Highly recommended. 9/10.

The Aeneid (Penguin Classics): Everyone should read one or all of these mythological classics, whether it's an original Greek one like The Odyssey or The Iliad, or the Roman copy of both in the Aeneid. Virgil's Aeneid is full of love, sadness, adventure and so much more. I recommend you read The Odyssey first...

The Book of Lists: London: If you like lists and love London, read this today. Every possible list is in this book. Brilliant fun and really interesting. 8/10
