And regarding Stephen Fry:
"The Liar" is fantastic. It's plot is outstanding and it's a real LOL-book. I've read it seven times.
"The Hippopotamus" has a great, nasty main character and a lot of humour.
"Making History" is an okey scifi sort of story.
"The Stars' Tennis Balls" is boring, boring, boring. Fry with his imagination should be able to make up a story of his own and not just do a modern version of The Count of Monte Christo, where the second half is told in a nearly Concordian speed.
"Moab is my washpot" is probably his best book, apart from "The Liar", mostly because it actually is "The Liar", but in real life. It's his autobiography to the age of twenty.
"Paperweight" is a collection of essays, articles, reviews, short stories, stuff, etc. Very good in some parts, but slightly difficult to understand in all its Brittish references.
