These are great books, the relationship between Mma Ramotswe and Mr J L B Mataconi is wonderful.

I love this book, Alan Moore is one of my favourite people. I hope when I turn 50 I become a Wizard.

It's a great series, though Armand as favourite? Really? The little cherub?

This is as amazing series about the lunacy that is Blood Bowl. Dunk Hoffnung is such a well written character.

So this is a book.where I kind of cheat, and while I loved the book. The radio play is fantastic. Fat Charlie singing for his Dad is beautiful.

My first proper edition of 40k. I'd played a little 2nd, but 3rd was a game changer. Literally and figuritively.

Probably my favourite Wodehouse collection. I remember reading in a rainy tent and just smiling happily.

A great book of stories that just end. That's your lot. That's all your going to get.

Possibly the most important book of my young life. As a kid I was on the winning Inter-school book quiz team, and we got to meet the mayor, and Jacqueline Wilson. She signed and gave me a copy of this book. I read it so much.

I got this book out of Rushall Library so many times. It played a massive part in making me scared of the dark.

Sam Vimes in a lot of ways is a great example of positive masculinity. Taking Dirty Harry and making him a father so devoted he cannot comprehend not reading to his son is beautiful.

This book is a great series of stories, absurd and over the top in how they target one point, and massively blow it up.

I recently found out that if you ask kids to do a hand signal for using the phone they don't stick out their thumb and little finger and hold it to their ear.

Amazing. I mean they'd be hard pressed to beat our team. They were ruthless.

A really interesting book about changing the way we think about the solution to problems.

An amazing book. I still think about what I'd name myself as a minor horseman. "3am pacing around the bedroom singing Nellie the Elephant to a baby" stood a chamce for a while.
