I read David Gregory Roberts' Shantaram a couple of years ago and ws thoroughly engrossed for the 1000+ pages. Whilst it is a true story it is incredulous. It is uplifting in parts, tragic in others and overall an amazing story of an incredible man.

Goodness. Slightly cross-eyed from counting...but we did indeed put all qualifying entries (140 characters or less, not including title) into our large Santa hat (see OP) and pulled out one lucky winner.

To Kill a Mockingbird has it all, courage, humour, humanity, a strong message against inequality of various guises, a book to get lost in was their entry...

Yes, icyalittle you will be the recipient of a very large box of books. You may need to give the postman a mince pie or two grin

Congratulations - an email heading your way shortly.

Fabulous. l am medically retired since 1998 and l have read so many good books. My favourite is The Ghost of White Hart Lane about John White of Falkirk, Spurs and Scotland by Rob White and Julie Welch. It is the best book covering the life and times of the Scottish legend killed by a bolt of lightning in 1964 at 27 yrs. of age
