I recently found a copy of an omnibus of James Herriot's books in a church booksale.
I last read his books (my copies must be in the loft somewhere) when I was waiting for DS1 to arrive, nearly 11 years ago.
I am enjoying reading them again SO much. They are so funny, and sad - and yes, sentimental - and the funny stories are written so well I still chuckle out loud. I must have read some of the anecdotes a hundred times in my life, they were a massive success in the 70s. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if they were out of print now.
What guilty pleasures do you have? Have you got any favourite books that you don't give pride of place on your bookshelf, even though you should?
