Just read 'Dodo, A brief History' by Errol Fuller. Really fun book. Very interesting, easy to read and stacked with beautiful illustrations.

And now I'm left, itching to write a story with dodos but... erm, that might just be me.

So that's what our characters are going to find in LLL?

Well, I did say it'd be a RPG off the beaten tracks... Tempting, though. A dodo guardian...

But eh, I think most players will prefer that I'll keep dodos for my private writing efforts.

I'm starting to read The Witch Of Blackbird pond, A lot of people have told me it's a great book.

I've split off the discussion about The Book of Job in a separate thread here.

I decided to read Carroll Lewis's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland properly, before Tim Burton's adaptation hits theatres. It was quite enjoyable, in all its strangeness.

So for those of you who plan on seeing the film, take this opportunity to read the novel first
