There is an emerging trend in stories for The Book That Changed My Life - Asterix!
This week we have received two stories about how Asterix books have changed reader's lives. Read children's author Thomas Docherty's inspiring story about how 'Asterix in Britain' sparked a love of books here
Jane Ryan has written her story about how the small mustaochioed Gaul and his wine-sloshing friend had her hooked from the outset - read it here
Read more about Asterix the Gaul at his official website.
Has a Graphic novel changed your life? Or are you yet to discover the pleasures of Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Kazuo Koike?
Tell us about a book that changed your life. We want to know!
Nick Cave- touring to launch 'The Death of Bunny Munro'
'The Death of Bunny Munro' is the latest offering by multi-talented enigma Nick Cave.
This autumn's most hotly tipped publication has only been made more exciting by the tantalising release online of chapters being read by Nick Cave - accompanied by a 3d spacial soundtrack - composed and recorded by Cave for the audiobook. If the cool credentials mean nothing to you - no matter; the book is a darkly funny, postmodern triumph.
UK tour dates for Nick Cave's book tour have just been released!

Here is Nick reading from chapter 10.

New story about 'The Catcher in The Rye'
I really enjoyed Euan's story about The Catcher in the Rye- this is a book often suggested for English book reviews and essays at school so I'm guessing it is not so often stumbled upon by unsuspecting teenagers these days- but that's how I came upon it too.
Read Euan's story here
