November 2012 Themed Read HUMOUR

[Chris]

Please nominate a theme/genre for November. I expect some of us will be Christimas shopping by then so I'm going to nominate HUMOUR, to counter the stress!

I second that nomination.

Just what we need when we're stressed. Brilliant idea

[Chris]

Sounds good to me too! Still have The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to complete...

I think humour would be a good contrast with the horror/ghost theme for October.

[Chris]

Humour is the theme for November since there were no other nominations. Please post your ideas and chosen books as you decide on them.

I'm going to read Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. I've heard both goods and bad reports so want to see for myself.

[Chris]

I think I'm going for Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop: And Other Practical Advice in Our Campaign Against the Fairy Kingdom, , by Reginald Bakeley. It looks daft enough to appeal to my sense of humour.

Finished The Eyre Affair and really enjoyed it. Am looking forward to the next one.

I'm still trying to make my mind up! I'd better get a move on.

Have gone for The Portable Door by Tom Holt, giving it a quick skim-read as I've already read it, and reposted a review I'd published in print a few years ago. Luckily my impression of it hadn't changed! Though I suppose it's more whimsy-cum-fantasy than outright humour.
