Have no idea if it was part of the National Curriculum in 1983,
but I had to read it for 'O' Level English....
Also "Of Mice and Men" "An Inspector calls"
"To kill a Mockingbird".

I hate reading fiction, I'm an engineer! I love facts,
numbers and mathematics, but they were the best
books I ever read!!!

I remember being forced to read 'of mice and men' and watch the film for GCSE. Most cruel torture i have endured. Must have been against my rights!

I know what you mean.
I'm an engineer too. Sure, I love facts, figures and truth.
But I couldn't sit down and read "Probability and Statistics for Engineers as Scientists" by Walpole and Myers and enjoy it in the same way I could a good work of fiction.

My tastes include John Steinbeck, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jean Paul Clebert, Harper Lee, Walter Scott. Mark Twain, Lance Horner and Kyle Onstott, John Fowler to name but a few.

No, me niether, I'd rather sit in a bath of cold baked
beans for a week that read that load of old nonsense,
I just found them good stories, like as much as you can
appreciate a decent film for ex....

BTW, I have just ordered "An Inspector calls" on DVD
for a fiver, 1954 B/W version with Alistair Sim from play.com!!!
I would make you a copy and send it to you, but that would
be illegal wouldn't it.

ATB, Nick

I would imagine bieng forced to read "Of mice and men"
was hardly torture, nor watching the film either...
Would you like to expand on that?

Same here, though I thought it was alright and seeing Jenny Agutter's minge as a teenage boy was a bit of a treat too.

No doubt you've got Walkabout recorded somewhere as well then!

Did we just put Jenny Agutter's minge in there because we wanted to talk about Jenny Agutter's minge? Or was she actually in a version of "Mice and Men" showing it off?

'Coz all I remember of said minge was 'Walkabout".


(psst, Oi, Matt's wife... ...you know he wakes up thinking about Jenny Agutter's minge every Sunday, right? The only way to avoid this phenomenon is to physically move him further away from Miss Agutter. Canada will probably do it.)

Dammit. Tony beat me to it.
