Why do I keep talking myself into this...

Its time for another Monday Richard rhyming wrap up!

Its been a while since I did this last

Time for another, to make you all gasp

Last time I was rhyming with film names

This time let us look at books and board games

I love to read, I read every day

but my favourite book? Now that's hard to say

Sir Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite writers,

His Discworld books have caused many all nighters.

I love the works of JK Rowling she writes whole hearted,

I may now be too old for it, but I wasn't when she started.

I loved Eoin Colfer's books about Artemis Fowl,

except for that last one, that one made me scowl.

Robin Hobb weaves words with the eye of a master,

And me with her books? I doubt anyone could read faster.

A new love of mine is the Dresden Files books,

They are short but my attention Jim butcher always hooks.

J. R. R. Tolkien a great writer, that's a safe gambit,

I hate lord of the rings, but I loved the hobbit.

I could talk about fiction forever and a day.

But now non fiction books will have a say.

I've not read a Danny Wallace book that I did not care for,

His real life adventures always leave me wanting more.

A similar writer I like is Dave Gorman

They even worked together once, though Dave was the foreman

Will Ferguson wrote a book I read all the time,

Its a real view of Japan its sparkle and its grime

The last book on this list, I love more than cake,

(It should have been in the first part, so pardon my mistake.)

The book I would pick if you had me over a barrel.

Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll

Next to suffer my rhymes are anything called a board game.

(This list will be shorter, but rhyme all the same)

A game that for all of my childhood I was fond,

Was Atmosfear (or Nightmare across the pond)

I love me some chess, but this will make your toes curled

I like better the strategy in the game known as Small World.

Zombies!!! (yes all 3 explanation points are part of its name)

Is great fun, but it can take all day to play a single game

Keys to to the kingdom is a game right out of my past.

But you could convince me to play it really quite fast.

The fifth and final game to suffer my rhyme.

Is Carcassonne although I play it on-line.
