ks - Just deleted what I had written - i don't want to spoil it for anybody else. I will e-mail you through Mumsnet!

Just in case anybody else wants to read it - be warned. It is unputtadownable, and very long. I read it on holiday and actually stayed up until 5am one morning so I could finish a section.

October - yes I have got the whole series and still re-read them. Mathew's death still makes me cry! I've also read LM Montgomery's diaries & found them fascinating, not so different from some of the joys & worries expressed on mumsnet. The way she psyched herself up for the possibility of death during childbirth provided lots of insight into women's fears in the early 20th century.

1. Vikram Seth's "A Suitable Boy" Unlike Xausted I haven't even started it yet but it's been on my 'to read' list for about 15 years

2. Mr Holland's Opus with Richard Drefus 3. Bruce Springsteen Live Double Album

Erm - some thought had to go into this!

1. Into Thin Air - Jon Krakauer

2. Depends on the mood when I decide:
   Bit thoughtful - The Color Purple
   Feeling jovial - The Castle

3. Fairground Attraction- First Of A Million
