Books are the key to a person, yes?

Currently reading:

Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood
Prayer: Letters to Malcolm by C.S. Lewis
Whedonistas by various fangirls

Under my bedside table:

The Man Born to be King (Plays on the life of Jesus) by Dorothy L. Sayers
The Writer's Tale by Russel T. Davies and Benjamin Cook
The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry
Cats in the Belfry by Doreen Tovey (This is the best cat book EVER!)
How the Girl Guides Won the War by Janet Hampton
I Am What I Am by John Barrowman
Chicks Dig Timelords by various fangirls
Kim by Rudyard Kipling

That's... a surprisingly accurate insight into my interests.

Based on your post I immediately went to Amazon and got Cats in the Belfry (and another about cats by the same author) and the Barrowman book ...
\o/ Best. Catbook(s). EVER! Although the Barrowman book is his second one - I'd recommend reading the first one (Anything Goes) first. :)

unfortunately the Fry book isn't available on Kindle for U.S. folk (at least yet).
It's quite new, but you might get hold of the previous one (Moab Is My Washpot) - they're autobiographies, the new one dealing with his time at university.

And a Kindle does sound nice...

Thank you, I now have Anything Goes...already started reading!

One of the reviews for the cat book likened the author's writing style to Wodehouse & Sayers...two of my favorites.

IIRC, in the foreword he says that he's tried to make the book feel as if you're sitting with him on a sofa, gossiping, and that's pretty close to the mark. *draws big pink sparkly hearts around him*

That's not inaccurate, but I'd say her style is all her own. (This is a good thing!)
