Nophoto-u-25x33 All his books are great, especially anything that features Skink!

Nophoto-u-25x33 A lovely change from his previous books.


message 5: by Nadita (new)

Nophoto-u-25x33 Surely we can all identify with Walter.


message 6: by Nadita (new)

Nophoto-u-25x33 I read this the first time sitting on a mattress on the floor in a small room in La Paz, Bolivia at a time when I needed a little joy in my life. I also read "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom at the same time and they both remain two of my favorite books ever!


message 7: by Lilliansara (new)

1270903 I vastly enjoyed all of Rowena Cherry's books. Had a good time giggling at some of the antics of her characters. Would recommend her books to anyone who can read, write, and even do small mathematical sums in their heads.

message 8: by Catherine (new)

64544 Did I miss seeing Bill Bryson's Neither Here Nor There? I read it a long time ago. It's probably a bit dated now, but it was really funny.


message 9: by Asta (new)

2172050 No John Green? really?



message 10: by Valerie (new)

1879727 I don't get some of these books. I mean The Great Gatsby? I Capture the Castle? There not even supposed to be funny.
