pickle

i have now read all three of the books and i wasn't dissapointed by any of them, its a shame that Stieg Larsson won't be around to write anymore.. do you know who they are thinking of casting in the film, it could ruin it so badly if miscast?

i have listened to loads of audio books and it does depend on the narrator and how suitable they are to the book. i have loved some of the full cast dramatisations of some books, like the BBC's Dark Materials trilogy, and the dramatisation of Paul Temple by Francis Durbridge. i did get the first of the Lord of the Rings unabridged 40hrs or so (a few too many) which i didn't enjoy as much. but for those who have never tried to put one on snooze, whilst lying in bed is the closest you can get to reading with your eyes shut ( an ambition of mine)..anyway if your not sure check some out of the library as they do have a good selection and you can save some money as they do tend to be quite expensive.

Like a couple of others i loved to read from an early age, both my dad and my grandad read books to us and i have fond memories of my dad voices for 'the wind in the Willows' and 'Winnie the Pooh' and my grandad Kiplings 'Just So Stories'..my mum did try to read to me, but unfortunately i did rather cruelly tell at a very young age that i would read for myself thanks..in hindsight her English was much better than my Spanish ever was.
