I'm really bad at the moment! I'm rereading my favourite books from ages ago because the new book in the series is out and the author just sent me a signed copy to see whether I liked it.(I so did;it was really good...it is The Roman Mysteries by Caroline Lawrence new book being The Fugitive from Corinth).
I love The Coram Boy By Jamila Gavin, modern classic wise I'm into Orwell and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (brilliantly British that I am!).
My writing style is more towards Pullman and I am a sucker for the kind of endings other people I know hate ie ones that really get to you, I cry a lot at the end of those books, where they bring back a repeated thing in the book and turn it into a kind of really sad good bye or ending. I did that in the short story I posted up the other day 'The Outsider' and was well pleased with my self, though I dont think it will make anyone cry!
