  1. The only other tip I can think of is to try reading a coffee table book that you can just flick through and read whatever takes your fancy or a book of short stories, the kind you can finish in a couple of hours so you're not tied up in a full length novel.

    Hello :)

    Hello and welcome!
  5. I finished Everything's Eventual which was good obviously I liked some stories more than others but good over all. I I finished 1227 QI facts as I got it for 20p from amazon and enjoyed that. I have also finished The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window and Disappeared which I thought was really good. Although I preferred the historical bits. Not sure what to start next as I keep buying the 20p bargain ebooks from amazon
  6. I really liked this one and have got the next instalment on my wish list and I'm hoping to have enough money for it soon.
  7. I really enjoyed this one and some of the info in it actually stayed in my head. I find it difficult to read regular history books but not this one!

  14. I've been really good so far this year and not bought any books but I put the kindle app on my tablet and I couldn't resist having a look so I ended up buying The Hundred Year Old Man Who Jumped Out of the Window and Disappeared on the upside it only cost 20p

  19. The Past When did you start to love reading? Ever since I can remember. What books did you love as a child? I loved Enid Blytons Magic Faraway Tree and the Famous Five ]Childhood memories of reading (if you have them)? I think the first clear memory is when my sister was reading me a Goliwog story and my mom told her off for saying that they had gone to the shop for cigarettes except it was true. Did you read books for school? Yes, I remember reading Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth Favourites Favourite book: Too difficult!! Favourite author: This is a hard one but if I had to choose it would be Terry Pratchett Favourite genre(s): Horror or fantasy [Your Collection Do you own an ereader? No but I have recently got a tabley so I will be able to read on that Ebooks or physical books (or both)? Nothing beats the feel of a tree book but I'm open to e-books Hardcover or paperback (or both)? Paper backs are easier to carry but hardbacks look better onthe shelf. New books or used books (or both)? I wish I could afford new books all the time but my selves are a mixture of the two. Big books or small books (or both)? I like toread big books but it's easier to carry small books in your bag. What language are most of your books written in? English, it's the only language I can speak. Favourite book shop(s): I usually buy from Amazon as it's easier but I like to walk around book shops anyone will do. Do you buy a lot of books? Lots and lots! Do you spend a lot of money on books? Too much! Amount of owned books: I currently have about 600 Amount of books read: I really don't know. Amount of books TBR: I currently have 90 books on my to be read book shelf and around 100 on my wish list. Reading How often do you read? Daily Where do you read? On the sofe in the evening and when I'm on the bus toand from work. How fast do you read? That depends on what book I'm reading and how into it I am. The Forum When did you join this forum? early 2010 How did you find this forum?I think I did a search for book forums on Google and this one came up.
  20. I've decided to have a go at Everythings Eventual by Stephen King. I think my reading mojo might be up for short stories.
  21. Finished The Woman who Died a Lot and it was a typically good read from Jasper Fforde. What to read next though?
