I highly recommend them both.<br /><br />Kailana: I was really surprised at how *much* I loved the Chris Priestley book.

I hope so as it's such a good book. Can't wait to get to the Black Ship and there's new one about tunnels out soon - next month I think.<br /><br />And M.R. James is *so* worth reading... especially if you liked Uncle Montague.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-6629221696440923882009-09-24T11:20:19.015+01:002009-09-24T11:20:19.015+01:00Hi.

He liked the Black Ship too although I haven't read that yet.<br /><br />I didn't know it was written in homage t M.R James. I haven't read anything by him so I'm going to have to find some now.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904771329502876178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-30989807993203526582009-09-24T10:44:09.854+01:002009-09-24T10:44:09.854+01:00not really.. i am trying to have it draw me in and...not really.. i am trying to have it draw me in and if i can make myself read more it may yet.. i just don't like to have to work at it, it should draw me right in and I want to like this book so not ready to give up yet.DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-1804286737471459222009-09-24T10:31:29.749+01:002009-09-24T10:31:29.749+01:00Book Psmith: I hope you like Tales of Terror as mu...Book Psmith: I hope you like Tales of Terror as much as I did and that it inspires you to try some M.R. James. He's not well known in The States but here whenever ghost stories are talked about M.R. James will not be far behind. Wonderfully atmospheric stories often based in Academia, churches or big old houses. Imo, he was 'the best'.<br /><br />Pat: the artwork on the cover and inside this book is excellent, always love an illustrated book.<br /><br />Are you getting along any better with The Woman in White? Sounds like an awful hard slog to me...Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-52915227179466174652009-09-23T12:21:47.745+01:002009-09-23T12:21:47.745+01:00well you are rolling right along!.. love the cover...well you are rolling right along!.. love the cover of Uncle Montague's Tales lol...

I did not know that it was a homage to another writer...James is a new name for me. I also didn't know there was a second book. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Maybe I won't read this one right before bed:)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387313238448432017noreply@blogger.com
