Apologies to my Blog readers for my slackness lately - packing etc. is really the pits. Anyhoo for a change in pace I found these questions about books on Kate's Blog and thought I would have a go at answering them. I am still finding time to read however and packing books has a way of sidetracking one all too easily :)
1. One book that changed your life!
`Winnie The Pooh' - he is one cool little fat dude

I love your "I believe" entry Helen - oh so true! I also agree with you re: the DaVinci Code (highly overated). I too love anything by Bill Bryson and also enoyed Diana Gabaldon's books. My husband is a huge Winnie the Pooh fan! I have never read War and Peace though - that may be one for my bookclub to help me through...it just seems so daunting.
TFS the I believe post Helen :), and love how you have shared your books.. might have to do it too ;)
