Gee I miss a thread for a couple of days, and look how far behind I get. Indeed my section of the tunnel needs shoring up as it is in danger of collapse.
Books huh? How about an account of "The Great Escape" if one can think of a good one (minus the sad conclusion). Or Frank Clune's old account of the Burke and Wills' debacle, "DIG".
I can offer some books of historical interest, such as a biography on Calvin Coolidge, and one on William Lloyd Garrison. As for novels, I have many by Victorians I planned to read (like Mrs. Gaskell) but haven't. I even have "Pelham" by Bulwer-Lytton, but after forcing myself to complete "The Last Days of Pompeii three decades back, I find I can't bring myself to read "Pelham".
