Yay! it's May! And what are we reading? Suggestion is a funny thing all round. I find a subject of some kind, I suggest it to you by throwing it out on the internet, and I never have any idea at all whether or not anyone takes any notice at all of my mutterings! Still, got to press on, haven't you?
So for May, I am going to suggest that you read
A book that makes you laugh out loud. "But how will I know until I have read it?" you ask. Well.... you don't really, do you. But perhaps you have a book in mind and on reading it found that it will make you laugh out loud!
If you can get hold of a copy, may I suggest a book with a really "English" sense of humour -
Down With Skool
by Geoffrey Willans, and with wonderful sketches drawn by Ronald Searle.
This is a book that is not funny if you read it aloud. But hopefully it will make you laugh out loud It is a book to read on your own, imagining how poor Nigel Moleworth ever got through school at all. Remember too that this is not a new publication. This was published back in the 1960s, and is about life in a public (private for US readers) school. I read it several times in my teens, and I have a copy in the house now for guests to read. Whether they do or not is another thing - but it's there!
Mac-Adventures (with books! I read an eclectic mix of books, some years old, rarely prizewinners, sometimes on bestseller lists but more than likely not: but the ones I like I'll tell you about...... if you read them too, let me know! You may also find Gardening here, Home and Furniture makeovers; sometimes Food, Travel tales..... but mostly, Books.
