Although I haven't read many novels recently, I have purchased some books from the late 1800s from some charity shops. I have a strange fascination with old books, and always end up perusing the shelves for some obscure, ancient relic. If the charity is one that I actively support I sometimes offer to pay more than they're asking; any extra money is always welcomed!

Sounds good. I shall check those out, thank you woolf woolf.

Thinking back, I've not read a great deal of books. However, those that stick out to me are: I Am Legend - Richard Matheson Animal Farm - George Orwell Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger The Time Machine - H.G. Wells The Harry Potter Series (up to Order of the Phoenix) - J.K. Rowling

Hi! I just joined in the hope that chatting about books can help motivate me to read more. I used to love reading when I was younger, but can't seem to get back into reading again. The craving to pick up a good book has started to grow and I'm trying to learn what types of book I'm interested in. - I keep reading blurbs and just keep thinking "meh, it sounds okay".
