  1. granted..but when it hapens the world shall be at an end....i wish i lived in a warm land...
  2. Indeed chesil. I have a quite remarkable history with this book. I took the green paperback copy to Brazil in 2009, so heavy was it that I gave it to a friend, whose bookshelf it remains on, untouched. I searched my local big city library, in vain, last year, so I bought a huge hardback version, which I donated to another charity shop, having got it from a charity shop..could not carry it about. Then I bought , new , the paperback. Only to find it for sale in Sheffield library for 50p!!! Then, we were on a train to Edinburgh in June. Across the aisle, the young woman was reading..A suitable boy..just like I was..... I love the characters, the portrayal of their personalities, but the way he writes Mrs Rupa Mehra constantly, why the need for Mrs? It grates on me a bit. He is publishing A suitable girl this year.
  3. Not at all chesil. I liked the book very much, it was just the length of it that overwhelmed me.
  4. A suitable boy by Vikram Seth. To be completed this year though....
  5. Yes I have done that.I have even bought a book then found I already have it at home. I`ve done it with cds too.
  6. Very spiteful treatment. Percy, you will meet the prime minister on my behalf for the next year.....
  7. should hate to receive. Nor would I wish it on any of my loyal subjects..but Percy, he.....
  8. Yeah seems that way, he`s been latently asthmatic since being a boy but cats only aggravated it since late 1990s.
  9. I saw both the EL James you mention in my local MIND shop on Monday.Didn`t buy either. Am reading Brazil by Michael Palin right now.
  10. Yes it`s a shame when people have an allergy to animals. My brother had to stop keeping a cat when he developed asthma, watery eyes etc, in a cat`s company.
