Hi JJ, Sadly I have gone from a ferocius devourer of novels when I was younger, for many years, then moved on to biographies and science/history based stuff, the internet saw to the end of that.
Now its all forums
websites, emails and 'read me's'/technical manuals - I also read newspapers, mags
from cover to cover quite often, thats all my eyes can take.
But the last great novel I read was probably Umberto Eco's 'The Island of the Day Before', he would be my favourite modern novelist.
