I did The Remains of the Day for A-level, but I never actually read it  :-[

Out of interest, I wonder why Hamlet is included seperately from the Complete Works of Shakespeare...........?

wow, I have read so very few books. Apart from a book called "The Machine Gunners" (can't remember who wrote it) which I read for school, I can't think of any other books I've read, apart from the collective works of Karl Pilkington.

Ah f*ck it, prefer DVDs anyway. Get with the times people!
