Talisman

Icelandic folk songs

The only copies I have seen in the shops are hardback, so I suspect that Amazon is correct in that the paperback is coming in April. It isn't that long to wait - delayed gratfication and all that !

It's par for the course unfortunately - there are a lot of American films that are not released in Europe either - you might be able to get it on DVD though if you have a multi regional player, or even download it. Personally I can't wait to see this film - I have just finished reading book 2 - what an ending !

When I first went to school I struggled to learn to read and write, so the teachers suggested that my Mum book me some books to encourage me to read at home. After she did that my reading age shot up, and by the time I was 10, I had the reading age of a 16 year old and couldn't get enough of it. It's still the same now - I guess I must have been a born reader then, it just had to be brought out of me.

Only Fools and Horses series 2 - looking forward to Rock and Chips tomorrow night !

I haven't read this one, but wondered if you were aware of the works of Tony Parker. Parker is deceased now, so most of his books are out of print, but he did a whole series of books where he interviewed various people in certain social situations or unusual jobs - lighthouse keepers being one of them (also prison officers). I have read the lighthouse book, which is simply called Lighthouse half a dozen times now. I came across it in the cottage I stay in on the Island of Lundy, which is known as the Old Light Cottage, as it was a former storehouse (among other things) for the island's lighthouse keepers.

The only book I have a duplicate of is my own one - hopefully so that I can sell them !

I learnt that it's one of our residents 103rd birthday's next weekend.

a big bunch of red grapes

Like others have said, if I like the sound of a book then I will read it - simple as that. I don't particularly care what people think about my reading, or anything else for that matter ! It's none of my business what anyone else thinks ...

fish cakes and chips with peas, not forgetting the ketchup.
