I love love love molesworth. Anyone who does not is uterly wet and a weed.

do ! I've just bought the compleet set for ds who I'm sure will love it ! I don't think my book group would appreciate it, except maybe for one person !! They didn't like any of my suggestions so far,apart from Cold Comfort Farm

yes, is an old thread,just checked...still,I am happy to find fellow Molesworth fans ...

(MerryAnn, you aren't sd, are you?)

yes, my suggestions go down like dead ducks too

I loves ya, merry

sd ?

tamum! you like it too

what a happy evening

I was going to make them suffer by choosing The Outsider by Albert Camus - no laughs there, but I love it

I love the outsider too. Almost chose it once as part of favourite reads of the olden days type of thing. But thought better of it

actually, I must go and tidy myself as it's book group this evening ('The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox' by Maggie O'Farrell) - sad but quite good.

Sorry Merry, there was a poster on here called spacedonkey and then molesworth, and I thought you might be her but have name-changed in secret IYSWIM.

Pointy, we are twins separated at birth, clearly. We must meet at a Travelodge with our copies of Molesworth one day

not me - have discussed Molesworth with molesworth on another thread !

Oh, and I liked The Outsider too. Not a book you would expect to find in conjunction with Whizz for Atoms, eh.

Michael Frayn's The Tin Men
Howard Jacobsen's Coming from Behind and Peeping Tom
Agree about Wodehouse and Molesworth - never fails

pointy, you hav a face like a squished tomatoe.

I am reading the future homemakers of america atm and it is really funny.

I know I'm about the 98th person to say this, however anything by Bill Bryson is well worth a read. I was reading one of his books in the dentists waiting room one time and I actually snorted with laughter

He is excellent

another vote for PG Wodehouse- Just took it away for a weekend (it was a compilation, and I read the drones stories,) couldn't stop snorting!
also Molesworth is great and part of our cultural heritage - hallo clouds, hallo sky!

hallo tamum, pla with me, o you mite

No pointy, you are a gurly you skip weedily by you sa hallo clouds hallo sky. You are not like marilyn munro hem hem.

John O'farell is hilarious and about parenting
