Favourite authors......Tolstoy, Dostoyesky, Emile Zola, Dante Alighieri, Cesar's De bello Gallico, Steinbeck, Jeffrey Archer.....and BOB, the street cat....and of course, so many others....Never read Rowlings...or any modern ones. In fact, I do not read anymore. I tend to watch Documentaries and the Planet we live on...gmx
