Bomb - Adam Jones.

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

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.

Yes, don't go. I severely dislike Paris.
Probably not helpful, but honest.

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.
