100 books

This film has been a bit of a seminal one for a lot of people in the UK. This is actually an abridgement of the original book by a guy teh name of Morgenstern.. and is funny (Goldman does this little interruptions all over which are very amusing).. Well worth a read even if you haven't seen teh film.

This is one mammoth book. Genuinely, it 800 pages and on each one is some little gem of knowledge about London. Its taken me about four months to wade through it, but I;m glad I did. Ackroyd's great- because he is a classy historian who doesn't discount teh spiritual element of any city. Whilst he doesn't mention the history of the church (this is a truly social history in that sense) he does talk about the strongholds and foregeign gods of the City. Anyone who would seek to make a difference in London would be well advised to read this- its salutory warnings of the resilience of the City are spot on. I like it!

Another DDo read this one but its very good on helping me to work out where I stand on baptism. I'm becoming less baptist by the second pretty much! Michael Green writes really simply which made this a quick one or so in teh UL in cambridge.. Where I also looked at other books, just not deeply enough to call it reading!!!

My first dive into her writing.. and.. well .. its OK.. she does this thing where she writes from lots of different people's points of view and stuff. It means you have to follow a little more closely than you would like. But hey ho! Good story though..
