DAVIDW 1,674 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm not a great reader but did really enjoy this book , "Doomsday Book" about time travel . Set in the year 2054 these are Oxford academics who are allowed to go back through the ages and witness events as they are about to happen . This girl is going back to medieval England just before the Black Death is due to strike . She is innoculated against the known diseases but an outbreak of flu in the modern day Oxford hampers her return . Very gripping stuff . Good reviews : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doomsday-Book-MASTERWORKS-Connie-Willis/dp/0575131098 There was a follow up book called All- Clear , when the heroine goes back to study the blitz in 40's London . http://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Clear-Connie-Willis/dp/0575099321/ref=pd_cp_b_2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeestonMick 263 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 1996 - Definitely the best year for dance (house) music both commercial and white label. I loved the couple of years before and up to 2001. Or, if I'm allowed two second choices 1952 to buy an original Gibson Les Paul or 1954 for an original Fender Stratocaster, I would be a rich man now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
