My dad is a huge PD James fan! I love the Corfu trilogy and read it when I was 16 recovering from appendicitis. I laughed so much I nearly burst my horrible black stitches! There was a movie out before the TV series and I love both. If you like English family stories that are humorous, try The Darling Buds of May, HE Bates. There is also a TV series and it's beautiful. Starring a very young Catherine Zeta Jones. I'm reading David Sedaris at the moment for laughs.His latest book of memoirs. I've read everything of his purely for the bizarre wry humour. He's coming to Australia soon. xx
