It must be nice to be descended from people who have been acclaimed for various wonderful deeds.

This has set me thinking. The world had to eat, didn't they? So I think I should write a book about my wonderful ancestors. Ag Labs!!! Lots of them in my tree - and how would the world eat if the farms weren't tended?

Just had another read of tut thread.......Disclaimer.......'I' am not being sarky.......my nature wouldn't allow it.......I think if you can write and it can be marketed.... then why not?....we all make our minds up as to what is real or true in the end anyway......Personally.....I think books of this kind help to keep the mind alert and gives much food for thought and sometimes a good laugh :-))))

I can't remember the exact title of one - will hunt upstairs and send it to you again, might wake the kids if I do it now!!! the others are by Chris Kuzneski - sign of the cross is the last one i read - which i should have read first!!! I've read 2 of his so far, thoroughly enjoyed them both, OH who likes novels about SAS etc enjoys them too....both have religion as the core of the stories. I've had them out the library, otherwise I'd lend them to you. I own the other one, so if I can find it will bring with me next time I'm at mums! x

Sue, try Jules Watson's Dariada trilogy...The White Mare, The Dawn Stag and the Boar Stone.

Or Manda Scott's Boudica books, four of them and all a damn good read.

I enjoyed Dan Brown's books too, especially Angels and Demons. I've got Labyrinth on my bookshelf. I started reading it ages ago but had to put it down after the first chapter because I had a lot on and didn't have time to read it. Forgot about it after that so will have to restart it.

I did too Sue, but then more recently I read other books, by a couple of different authors that I found more gripping!

Sue Report 4 Sep 2009 22:33

I still enjoyed Dan Brown's books!

I'm sure I will, it's just the kind of novel I like, historical time-slip.

I must say, I've read some damn good books this year, some of them trilogys, and there' s more in the market. I can't read them fast enough lol

Wrong thread Welshy, we're not talking religion per se on here, but book sales and what makes a controversial fiction based on religion into a best seller. Perhaps you could try reading a little more than the title...

You need to be putting that on Mel's thread...that's the one spouting religion...or baloney as you called it.
