I've several books I go back to every few years, Treasure Island, Mocking bird, Tale of Two Cities, The Hobbit and L.O.T.R, Ivanhoe and Beau Geste to name a few, true classics that you can read time and time again and still enjoy them

The Woman In The Fifth, again, by Douglas Kennedy, after seeing the film at the cinema a couple of weeks ago

Into Lynda La Plante at the moment... books I mean....but any crime fiction is my choice of a bedside book....can't be doin' with autobiographies of famous luvvies or sports "stars"....they just send me straight to sleep......

Slinky.k I really liked the series from the beginning but the wait for the 4th book took my mind away from the characters, from the intense to the mundane if you know what I mean. At present I am ploughing my way through George R R Martins "Land of ice and fire". mrs cook thinks he is a long distant reletive on her side of the family. Lord of the Rings it ain't! I was forced, no really, forced to read The Hobbit when I was 13. The english teacher I had at the time said that no matter what the words said on the inside of the flyleaf (for readers of 8-12 years) I was to read it and deliver a 250 word appreciation of the book in 3 days time. I protested, and the essay was increased to 2000 words. So I started to read and was swept up, and read the book in 12 hours and then read it again! On the Monday in english lesson I proffered up my hastily scribbled appreciation (somewhere near 4000 words of juvenile script) and the B***ard made me wait until friday and then hit me with LOTR and said "I bet you can't read that in a weekend". The bu@@er was right, it took me just over a week. I have read it more than 28 times, I have numerous copies, some of them signed by the author I guess you could say I am a little crazy but it is like getting in to your favourite comfy clothes, eating your favourite comfort food, and being in a place that you know and feel totally safe in, (Childhood for me), when I delve into the book again. Forget all the religious cr@p and nonsense that people foist upon Tolkein, It is a rollocking good read and I would commend it to everyone.
The peter jackson films were not bad, but the books were much better because all the actions were in your mind. Andy Serkis was the stand out performer as Gollum because he sounded like the Gollum that spoke to Bilbo in the Hobbit.
