busstoptoyshop I try to read as widely as possible. I guess in fiction, my favourite authors are, in no particular order (although it changes each day): Dickens, Rushdie, Delillo, Self, Amis, Balzac, Scott, Kesey, Austen. For lighter reading, I read a lot of crime...

OK, so we've made a good start and adequately demonstrated that the negative selection of Giles was holding us back. But what impact will Shane Warne have if that's what Monty can do? If England win this one, can they get back...

busstoptoyshop You could be right now. (Although we have a tendency to win a test once it doesn't matter.) Today's play was the last chance, England needed a first innings lead and didn't get it. The Ashes are now all but gone.

Have you or someone you know gone through a serious period of questioning/doubting your faith? If you emerged from that still a believer, do you think it made your faith stronger? Are you comfortable talking to others about it?

busstoptoyshop Thanks for the lengthy answer. I've read some Agatha Christie and should probably read more, but I wouldn't put her amongst my favourite mystery authors. Arthur Conan-Doyle, Ian Rankin, Colin Dexter are my faves, but I've read everything by them. I've...
