Hi Chimera!
:welcome2: Welcome to the forum

Hi there Sean!
:welcome2: Welcome to the forum -
I hate finishing a book - especially if I've really enjoyed it
so usually I start on the next one straight away -
Yes I have. I have read certain books and have made me question religion. They just made me think 'Yeah I suppose that's possible too, no more impossible than what we were led to believe in the first place.' They left me not sure what to think anymore.
Hate that feeling! -
Pork chops and garlic mushrooms tonight. My hubby cooked it too
Its always nicer when someone else cooks it for you
-
Yes it is:mrgreen:
Wow that looks amazing! You have views like I do. We can see for miles in every direction - sometimes I feel like I'm living on top of the world! It's glorious in the summer, not so great in the winter lol
-
Chicken and mushroom pasta with garlic bread.
-
I would say you're not the only one
Just the only one to admit it! -
Hi Stevie!
Good to meet ya! Hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do. -
I have nothing against libraries at all Charm - in fact I would much rather people do borrow my book that way than from a friend, as at least I get paid - twice in fact, once when the library buys the book, and again (the princely sum of 5pence) every time someone borrows it !
I understand what you are saying about not everyone being able to afford books, but if writers are not adequately compensated, then we can't afford to write them either - we have to live on something and personally I couldn't imagine a world without books !
We have had this discussion before on here anyway, and it went round in circles then, so perhaps we should get back to discussing E-readers. It is one of those things that everyone is bound to have different opinions of to keep going round gets us nowhere ...
I thought I was discussing the cost of e-readers and how they could potentially harm your sales however I have to agree we could go round in circles all day. I'm relatively new here and didn't realise it had been discussed before (I should really learn to search the site more:blush:). My apologies if I annoyed you or offended you in any way, that was not my intention. I do understand your point of view and was just trying to take part in the discussion. IMHO I'm not opposed to e-readers and as I've said before I think they could be of benefit in certain circumstances. I personally would prefer a book and couldn't imagine a world without them either!.
It is not illegal to download for personal usage. it is *uploading* thats the illegal part.As far as I'm aware that is not the case in all countries - but I could be wrong!

I walked in to Sainsbury's on Friday and they had a display of them at the door and 4 'fell' into the trolley....mmmmm....forgot how nice they were.
My local Spar has a new display fully dedicated to them! Some accidentally 'fell' into my basket too
-
and of course the toilet !!
Don't think a lot would admit that! You should have a red face! lol
-
I do see your point Talisman about the cost to the industry but unfortunately every industry has its problems from the music business to the perfume business. If a person can go online and download music or a film for nothing illegally, whats to stop them doing the same thing with online books or even your full collection of books? We've all heard the trouble the music industry has had but it still goes on.
Then not everyone can afford to buy e-readers, I know its a luxury I couldn't afford. Not everyone can even afford to buy books from new and although I understand your plight and sympathise, does that mean you disagree with libraries or bookrings for example or any other scheme to borrow or pass on your books? I would imagine it would be of greater good to you to let others read your work and create more of a fan base and perhaps increase the amount of people who would actually go out and buy your books.
But hey I'm rambling again - sorry!

Just to throw a spanner in the works!
I have to say I don -
Leftover roast chicken with chips, peas and gravy today.
-
We had Roast Chicken, stuffing, roast potatoes etc. followed by pavlova with grapes and pineapple which my daughter made (she's only 12 but makes a mean pavlova
) -
My daughter and I are waiting for Desparate Housewives
We think its really funny! lol
(Maybe should have posted this in the guilty pleasures thread
) -

Thanks, I`ve just made a list so I get them in the right order, otherwise my mind goes a complete blank!
They're in order on my reading list (apart from The Bone Garden which is a stand alone book) as I have the same prob!
.. Apparently there's medication for this! lol:lol: If you do like this series you'll love the Richard Montanari series too

I haven`t read any Tess Gerritsen books, but I`m on the look-out for them now, from what I`m reading here I`ve been missing out!
Wow you have been missing some great reading! Start with The Surgeon and you'll be hooked!
