Best book I ever read by Ian Fleming was "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" much better than any James Bond books.

Good to see you Jess I see you live in a great part of the country next to the county of my birth "Worcestershire"

I too like to buy used books because as you say Adam you get so many for a small outlay. If you find that some are not as good as you first thought they can always be passed on through charity shops.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

I have a metal one of my initial that clips over the top of the page. A small Christmas gift from under the tree last year it has been used every day since then.

Here, Here judyb - you can't make a bad cup of Yorkshire Tea, in the pot of course.

The Longest Day

Since we live in a bungalow we are limited for space. We have a bookcase in the living room which contains around 200 and a small bookcase in the conservatory which has another 60. The remainder we have between book ends in the computer room - another 25. I keep getting reminded that we need more shelf space . Maybe one day I will get around to the DIY involved.

Like you Adam I tend to read on average 20 - 30 pages a day, or should I say night since the time I read is usually in bed. I carry on reading until I am dropping off to sleep and can't keep my eyes open any longer. I have never read a book in one sitting either.

I know who you are too ! Thanks for the welcome Echo, I will see what I can do Thanks for the welcome Sedge glad to know I'm not on my own - safety in numbers.

Thanks for the welcome Maureen. Before I lived in West Sussex I lived in Worcestershire close to the River Severn - hence the name

I found the door open so I just walked in. I already know two members so I thought I would join to see what all the fuss was about . I love reading but this is confined mainly to bed time so I don't get through as many books as I would like . I have just finished Angel's Ashes and am about to start Tis by Frank McCourt.
