If you like reading about the misfortune of idiots, I can highly recommend any of the Heroic Failures books. I think there's about 4-5 of them now.
Nice one !Quote:

So carol , you are a housewife and a mother .....have you got any children ?
Fiction wise, Christopher Fowler's Bryant and May peculiar crimes series has me in tears of laughter often.
Also if you have any interest in the secret, hidden history of London you will learn a lot, Fowler is an expert.

Also "Good Omens" he wrote with Neil Gaiman (sp)
for us of a certain age and for pure nostalgia purposes :hehe:
the Adrian mole books :thumbup:
I know they have been out for many years, but I still love the Spike Milligan books, Hitler, his part in my downfall etc
Tom Sharpe books back in the day used to make me laugh outloud as
did the Two Forrest Gump books.
Private Eye is a constant source of amusement.
Private eye kills meQuote:
