  1. I am all up in the air with wish lists and planned reading. Not that I would like to be well organized and set these things up but I tend to be very sporadic in my reading and if something I see grabs my fancy then I read it. I do have a Kindle and sometimes just flick through the free books and take a chance on what is there. I suppose being unable to work at the moment does play a part in that I cannot afford to buy stuff that I would like but more to what is acceptable on my budget. However this has both merits and issues as sometimes I read something that is brilliant for next to nothing. On the other hand I would like to be able to extend my reading to material that really catches my eye but is out of my fiscal range, at the moment.

  5. Hi, I know this idea may be a tad expensive but could be worth it considering it is your father and that he has not been partaking in reading of which was a previous enjoyment for him. I suggest an eReader of some description which might ignite his love for reading again and allows him choose the books that most interest him. Just a thought. Sernicki

    Hello

    Hi Sara and welcome to the forum, I am also a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen Fry, Douglas Adams and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Enjoy. Sernicki
  8. I have to agree these long November nights will slowly draw us into our winter, but then I do enjoy winter. My plans are to enjoy the early nights and eat lots of scrummy winter foods like, stews dumplings, casseroles and suet puddings. The hot chocolate sounds good with a nice book.
  9. Hello Tonya, salutations and welcome to the forum.
  10. My local charity shop most paper backs are between 40p to £1 whilst the hardbacks are from £1 to about £3. I got hold of "Tis" by Frank McCourt for 50p, Dawn French's "Dear Fatty" for £1 in hardback and a large opera guide in hardback for £2 the other day so well pleased.
  11. Like Talisman and Kushy I cook only vegetarian or more to the point vegan food. I consider myself to be a good cook and used to run a non-profit vegan catering project so I needed to be quite good. And like Paperplane I have been experimenting with vegan cakes, pies and other such delicacies.
  12. Hello bballuk, I am new myself so just getting into this forum. Welcome and I hope you have a good experience on the forum. Sernicki
  13. I am in London so hopefully it will not be to bad for me. I hope that everyone else manages the storm without too much of an issue.
