.I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: Anniversary Special (BBC Radio Collection)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Various Artists

October 27, 2003
I'm probably preaching to the converted, but ISIHAC is intelligent, naughty, fantastic, foolish, sarcastic, and more.

iPod users beware - you simply cannot stop yourself laughing to this.

The radio in my car died and so I dug these out of my cupboard. Haven't enjoyed the commute so much for ages.

Don't miss out.

.I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: v. 10 (Radio Collection)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue

May 07, 2007
A "Must-Have" for all fans - amongst all the usual games played by Tim, Graeme, Barry and guests (overseen by Humph and the lovely Samantha, still sitting on his left hand), I am continually enjoying Rob Brydon singing "Killing me softly" to the tune of "The Bear Necessities" (as Tim rightly says, he's no Jeremy Hardy)and in the same programme an ad-lib sketch set in Space... which I will not spoil for you by discussing here!

If you find nothing here to raise a smile, you are truly beyond help. For most people, however, I would advise not listening to this the first time while behind the wheel of a car. ISIHAC always carries a Dangerous Driving Warning.

.That's Not My Car (Usborne Touchy Feely Books)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Fiona Watt, Rachel Wells

March 27, 2004
My 1 year son loves all of the 'that's not my' books as he loves to touch the different textures and look at the pictures. We couldn't work out where he had learned the word 'that' for when he pointed to things, then I realised it was from these books. This one is a particular favourite of his. I think its because a car is such a familiar object to him.

.Life with My Sister Madonna
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Christopher Ciccone, Wendy Leigh

July 14, 2008
I am not a big fan of Madonna but decided to give this book a go. I really enjoyed this book and found it hard to put down. In fact I was really disappointed when I finished it. I felt Christopher gave a fair view in the book and it was a great insight into Madonna's life and her lifestyle. I loved it.

.Recipes from a 3 Star Chef
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Gordon Ramsay

October 05, 2007
It's a gorgeous book. No one will say anything less.

Most recipes are quite difficult or expensive for the home Chef, but this is a great insight into a 3 star Chef.

I say difficult because plenty of the recipes take a long time to cook and are very laborious, but 3 star cooking won't be easy.

I say expensive because truffles, foie gras and similar products pop up in Gordon's recipes quite frequently.

.The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Alex Ross

March 03, 2008
This is a huge subject, and Alex Ross does a great job of covering it. Not everyone will be happy if their pet composer or movement has been tackled only briefly (if at all), but it would be impossible to fit the entire century into a single volume. As a result of reading this I have been moved to listen to Schoenberg and Strauss (esp. the Metamorphosen) for the first time; they are challenging works but rewarding and it has been great to have my musical horizons expanded by reading this book.
For me, the book was worth buying for the chapter on Sibelius alone; the passage describing the walk around Ainola and linking it to Sibelius' music is just superb - it sent me straight back to my CD collection to dig out and listen to the symphonies after years ... Read More:

.Goodnight, Moon
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Margaret Wise Brown

November 23, 2001
Tabitha Rose is two years and nine months. She loves a story at bedtime with her trusted teddy Charly.
I bought this book to take on holiday to help her to settle and wind down after a busy day. We have enjoyed it together every night since we have returned. Tabitha is my Grandaughter and she spends every Monday and Tuesday with us. Goodnight Moon is our final story at night.We enjoy looking at the illustrations and find that the changed from dusk, when the story begins, to the brightness of the moon and stars at the end sets the scene and mood for the end of the day. The little rabbit settling down and the young mouse are just right for this time.
The end of the book and the old lady 'whispering hush' soothe and settle Tabitha. She is usually still awake but ... Read More:

The story is well known and you would think that nothing compares to the magic of Harry Potter. Then you discover the wonder of Steven Fry. His unique voice is adapted for every charater perfectly, you always know who is speaking. Steven Fry and Harry Potter really is a magical combination!!!

.Cook with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Jamie Oliver

October 05, 2006
You know the drill, you see a cookbook in the shop, pick it up and browse through, see about 3 or 4 recipes that grab you and head for the checkout... Then, when you get home and cook a couple you find the rest of the book overly complicated and ultimately it gets tucked away with the rest of the Gordon's, Nigella's etc etc to gather dust. Not so with the latest offering from Mr Oliver... I've bought most of Jamie's books and I've tried a fair few of his recipes over the years, but this book contains the best selection yet in my opinion. I actually bought this particular one for my husband as he'd promised 2008 would be the year he finally learnt to cook more than beans on toast! But I've also found it really comprehensive and easy to follow too. Our favourite recipes so far are pan ... Read More:
