Wonders disciple

It would be nice to think people would have manners wherever they were. In my local Waterstone's I constantly hear people talking to staff in such a way that if it was said to me I'm pretty sure I'd be arrested:irked:. I'll stop before I go on a rant:). Anyway did she get a refund?

Well maybe not:) but I basically had a large list of books that I wanted and so I used christmas to get as many as I could:D Also I never really look at books in that way. It's the same with music, I don't have to be in a particular mood. I just enjoy music/reading.

Football here but alson a big boxing fan.

I will be purchasing this tomorrow on special offer at Waterstones. I have some other books to pick up and if you spend over

I've been wanting to read War and Peace for so long now. The problem is i have so many other books on the go at once. I need to set myself a target of finishing what books I am reading and forcing myself not to pick up any more. Think if you are going to read such a classic you really have to give it your full attention. Of course this is just my humble opinion:)

I got the Trial for Christmas and I picked up Metamorphois at a second hand shop. I should be starting the Trial in the next few days.

Pretty much at random, although new books always seem to grab my attention first.

I would choose to be Daniel Sempere from The Shadow Of The Wind. Not because I would especially like to be Daniel but because He is friends with Fermin Romero de Torres, one of my favourite characters. To spend a day with him and listen to his forthright views on politics, women, and religion I think would be a very interesting day:D.

I've had it quite a few times now with my loyalty card. I enjoy reading about future releases etc, but i'm not sure that i would pay for it. Sorry i am sure, I wouldn't:D

Well you learn something new every day. I never even knew this existed and that it seems to afflict so many people:lol:. It's not something i could ever do. I wouldn't see the point of continuing to read the book.

I would have to say i would give an author 2 chances. It would really depend on how bad the first book was. If it seems that there was potential and the author was recommended to me or highly thought of i would give them a second chance.

Thank you very much for your help it is greatly appreciated.

Too many to list here but below is what i know i have so far:) The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien. The Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follett. The Grass Is Singing by Doris Lessing. The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing. The Good Terrorist by Doris Lessing. The Trial by Franz Kafka. Unjust Rewards by Polly Toynbee,David Walker. The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.Friedrich Engels. A Christmas Carol And Other Christmas Writings by Charles Dickens. I know i've forgotten some but they're all wrapped now:).

My girlfriend does enjoy reading although not as much as me. I would like her to read more and so i bought alot of Tess Gerritsen and Stephen King books that i thought she may like and has started to read more. We both just read Cujo together which definitely seems to have pushed her on quicker than normal to finish a book. So hopefully this strategy works and we can read alot more in the future:)

Never lied about what i have read. As has been said in earlier posts there may be a slightly less than flattering view of readers and maybe reading in general. So it seems rather strange that, presumably, these very same people should try to impress by lying about books they have read.
