I enjoyed Gormenghast, but do you recall that BBC adaptation a few years back? Good in parts but I cannot be doing with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. Regardless the part he plays (King Henry VIII, whatever) I just want to slap his smug face. Wow, I sound angry don't I?! :DLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317869482609437332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2211285783434059218.post-71401016586117246402011-07-08T15:13:42.317+01:002011-07-08T15:13:42.317+01:00Ooh.

I liked Gormenghast, but I only read the first book, which I loved. Somehow I never got round to reading the rest. <br /><br />Good luck with the house hunt! Hope you find somewhere nice! xKaren Cheunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162058505350255330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2211285783434059218.post-43590128340459956002011-07-08T14:58:48.830+01:002011-07-08T14:58:48.830+01:00Also I never realised he illustrated some classic ...Also I never realised he illustrated some classic Alice in Wonderland books. There's a wonderful cabinet in the showcase bit of the British Library. I think his illustrations perfectly captured the characters! Its quite funny as I didn't really like Gormenghast but like his illustration.<br /><br />Enjoy Italy. I'm house hunting tomorrow. Exciting stuff-will keep you posted and of course you will be my first invitees to tea in the new place!Katnoreply@blogger.com
