This doesn't include the 32 books that were started and unfinished in January :eek: :D
 
A really good idea Stefee. I'll probably check out some of those books myself now. How is The family Way going? My wife bought it months ago but hasn't got around to reading it yet.

It's good for a light and funny read. There's nothing too special in it, but it's a pageturner and quite heartwarming. It's mostly to do with pregnancy and relationships, though I guess that's obvious :rolleyes: ;) but it looks at them in a lighthearted way, so all's good. Nothing special though, and nowhere near as good a read as Man and Boy by him.
 
Wow! Totally awesome thread! I'm soo gonna read more this month just so I can have a bigger impact on those statistics!
