I can only manage one at a time. Currently i'm halfway through Fieldings Tom Jones then i've got Rachel Ray by Anthony Trollope lined up followed by The Innocent Moon by Henry Williamson, the 9th book of the 15 book Chronicles Of Ancient Sunlight series, wonderful stuff, one day in retirement i'll find a sunny spot out of the wind and read the whole series through one after another.
I've promised myself to read 100 Years Of Solitude after the above 2.

  Far from it. Henry Williamson is best known for Tarka The Otter. The seires of books, The Chronicle Of Ancient Sunlight is a only slightly fictional account of his life from being born in the 1890s up until the 1950s in London and then rural England. He fought in the first world war and was there on and off from the start to the finish. It's a fascinating story especially with things like the reaction of people seeing the very first car in London, forests being cleared for suburbia, trout streams turning into open sewers as folk move in etc. etc with some quite moving images during the war. His father was the embodiment of Victorian family values which led to a pretty disfunctional family . The series has been in print through a multitude of companies since they started coming out in the late 50s but it's impossible to find more than one or two in bookshops, thank heavens for Ebay, i've found all bar a couple there for very sensible prices.
