One Book Recommendation

[BeadyDragon]

Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy - made me laugh almost as much as Wee Free Men. It's aimed at young adult readers (12+), but don't let that put you off - go on, brave the children's section of your library!

Dead Famous by Ben Elton is a fantastic book. Don't be put off by the name Ben Elton... I always hated him from his stand up but he is actually a very good writer

[Jan Van Quirm]

couldn't agree more - Blackadder from 2 onwards really perked up when Elton joined Richard Curtis to write the series. STARK was good as well - loved the concepts in that one and Inconceivable was just so realistic and funny-tragic for anyone who's gone down or been tempted by the IVF route

Chart throb is a very good spoof of the music reality tv culture too. Oops, I guess I am a twit! Oh well

Pooh, you really are cruel!

Right, if it have to be JUST ONE it'll have to be The killing kind by John Connolly.
I looooove the Charlie Parker, Louis and Angel trio

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy- By Douglas Adams

I just recently read the first,second,third and fourth ones in the trilogy and am now reading the last book .I think I will finish it today or tomorrow

[Ponder Stibbons]

The Discworld Series!
Just joking.

Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl.
The first book only has Artemis Fowl as its name. Its not my favorite in the series, but everything else makes much more sense if you read it first. Total 6 books in series as yet.

Note: That's still only one book. I was giving EXTRA INFORMATION!

Actually, on second thought, since you might find Artemis Fowl a bit young, maybe Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah(true story) or The Tiger in the Well(not a true story).

So Ponder, what exactly about the title of this thread, "One book recommendation" didn't you understand?

"Lamb," by Christopher Moore. I'm not a practicing Christian, nor have ever been one, but Moore's hilarious and often very touching "alternate gospel" of Biff, Jesus' best friend, creates a far more appealing 'biography' of Jesus than the New Testament does.

J-I-B

[Courtjezter]

IT by Stephen King, it was a toss up between that and The Stand but the multiple timelines in IT win through.

I'd go for The Stand, myself

One book, eh?

Ok then, let it be A Chancer by James Kelman - a book I return to year after year.
