I also enjoyed all the Bond books when I first read them and A Christmas Carol is my favourite Dickens book - and I love his writing.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is charming; I loved it when I read it in middle school or thereabouts. I got the audiobook for Christmas (based on your recommendation, as I recall!), and I'm looking forward to listening to it when I finish my Harry Potter re-listen.

Or really books told in any 'unusual' way. Did you know that there is a movie soon? I saw the trailer and it looks great. I also liked Before the Fall and have decided to schedule it as our mystery group's July selection. Hope the others like it too.

But I love a good memoir (especially of someone funny). <br /><br />This book in particular - I think people thought I was crazy driving into work. I would be laughing with tears coming down my face on my drive in. Other drivers would look over and be very confused.
