I've been catching up with some of the classics I hadn't read like Lord of the Flies & To Kill a Mocking Bird. I read 'I am Legend' a couple of years back, that was gripping stuff. Paulo Cuelho's The Alchemist was a good read too (I've heard it's going to be made into a film)- I got some of his other stuff but didn't enjoy it as much. On a slightly different note, I've just read 'Mastering Fashion Buying & Merchandising Management' (Jackson / Shaw, Palgrave 2001) & highly recommend it to anyone wishing to enter this field as it is painstakingly comprehensive & everything you need to know is in there.
