Okay, now you guys are intimidating me by the sheer calibre of books you are reading!

Well, I've got news for you, I just read 'The Three little pigs!"

I am also keen on: Noddy goes to town (The revised version without that horribly racist Gollywog)

Winnie the Pooh does it for me. I enjoy the dynamic between the two opposite poles of Tiger and Eeyore, who are you?

Winnie the Pooh, no less! Don’t think I can beat that one! That said: “The Stinky Cheese Man: And Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka, is keeping me glued and spell bound to every page!

Best movies:

Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp
Absolutely brilliant tongue in cheek vampire movie. I rate this as his best movie of all time.

American Psycho
I love the way he is totally normal yet totally f*cked in the head and nobody believes him when he tells them that he is a serial killer.

American Beauty
Stunning movie about a guy going through a midlife crisis...yea yea, I can relate.

Empire of the Sun
Beautiful movie about a young British boy in a concentration camp right next to a Japanese airfield during the second world war...the music and visuals are simply fantastic.

Battlefield Earth
Those horribly stupid aliens really don't want to be on earth, they just want to drink and make money...

District 9
This is the best political satire I've ever seen. People make the mistake of taking the movie seriously...it is very tonque in cheek.

Addams Family
Stunning dark humour.

Falling Down
About a guy who snaps one day and gets even with everybody who gets in his face...I think we all feel like doing it now and again.

Upside Down
Very clever Sci Fi love story.

Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp
Brilliant arty rendition of the old classic.

Anything by Tim Burton
All his movies are simply brilliant.

...
and many many more...

The movies that I dislike...
waaaayyyy too many to mention...
