Gary's A-Z by title

[Gary]

The first one I've finished is 'The English' by Jeremy Paxman, which is a sure pointer this challenge won't be done in any order. Paxman's book is a must for anyone who wants to understand what it is to be English - or just have a laugh at our idiosyncrasies!

[Leslie]

Have fun with your alphabet challenge!

Thanks, Leslie. There's bound to be problems when I get to Q and X.

Don't worry, I'm sure a lot of members will help you recommending good books!

I'll let you know when I get stuck.

An update on having finished the second book in my challenge: Clive Cussler's 'The Chase', a good page-turning adventure, which is what you'd expect from Cussler.

Two additions to my challenge since I posted last: 'Planet Hay' by Huw Parsons, a fascinating glimpse into the life of Hay on Wye and 'Dandelion Wine' by Ray Bradbury, a wonderfully evocative semi-autobiographical novel set in small town America in the summer of 1928.
