Frank Cottrell Boyce,
author of Millions, gives us a glimpse of his Top 10
Saints.
My own particular favourite saint is St Pyr (d.520), a Welsh abbot who fell down a well after a drunken brawl and drowned. He was made into a saint by mistake - some kind of administrative error, which is pretty great. There's hope for all of us.

| Nominate a Saint!
Who in your opinion is worthy of Sainthood? Perhaps a member of your family or a close friend has been especially excellent to you recently? Or perhaps there is a celebrity that you think deserves recognition? This competition will run until July 2006 when the person who has been the mostly saintly will be chosen and presented at an awards ceremony (date and location to be confirmed). That person will then be known as Saint of Liverpool Reads 2005/6!
