Bomb - Adam Jones.

Good read. Something for everyone and he comes across really well.

Hogg is the only person in the book he doesn't have a kind word for.

The Black Magician series; we're going to need some magic at the weekend.
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

The Karamasov Brothers. Only half way in, but probably as good, if not better than War and Peace.

I'm currently reading restaurant guides for Paris. Anyone with any suggestions for places, I'd appreciate it - as long as it's not silly prices. >EW

Angelina is incredible and from what I remember not too overpriced.

Had to wait around 30-45mins to get a seat.

Go to Rome instead would be my other suggestion. The best city in continental Europe IMHO.

Yes about as useful in its honesty as my older sisters remark when a toddler in a doctors waiting room, " mummy that man has a very big nose".

Probably not a good place to have put this anyway, but since I have, can we leave the suggestion of other places, I'm bloody well booked and going to Paris.
