A Storm of Swords - George R. R. Martin

This Used To Be My Playground - Madonna

"The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by the Pogues and "Ansacht na nAnsacht" by Aoife Ni Fhearraigh. Same.

Have you ever tried John Irving? My favourite is "A Prayer for Owen Meany".

Marcus Brotherton - A Company of Heroes :star4: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection of reminiscences about many members of the legendary Easy Company which was portrayed in "Band of Brothers". In his previous book, "We Who Are Alive and Remain", Brotherton assembled interviews with...

No idea (nothing planned right now). France would be a hot candidate, though. Mountains or ocean?

"Amy and Roger's Epic Detour" by Morgan Matson and Dickens's Christmas stories from the Penguin Clothbound Classics series. Your most hated food?

I don't read e-books. Last deadtree book you purchased?

A kitchen timer in the shape of a bomb. Same.

If it's actually about swimming, pool please. But I do love being by the ocean, just not in it. London or Paris?

Sure. At home, that is. Own any funny rubber duckies?

Yes, but it wasn't a success. Dance or sing?
