I've only ever found bookmarks, and the occasional photo or postcard. I do like it when I get a second hand book and someone has written a little note in it, especially if they've signed the date - I once got a book which had 1935 in it!

I will endeavour to do so next year! I've not read that book, but there are a few by King that I will probably steer clear of. I am waiting to read It at the moment and have Insomnia on the shelf. I finished The Shining - I thought it was a decent book and an engaging read. I also watched the Kubrick version of the film and was disappointed by the adaptation, but had been told it was that way.

I watched The Shining this morning (Kubrick's version) - I'd been told it didn't follow the book very well and that was a disappointment, but I suppose it was an alright film in it's own right.

QI, old episode!

I thought I'd revive this thread - I've read quite a lot of books this year and I cannot begin to remember what ones, quite a few crime fictions and non-fictions, a lot of Stephen King and a few Karen Rose. At the moment I am reading "The Shining" by Stephen King and I'm really enjoying it. I think the best book I've read by him so far is "The Green Mile" but I also liked Lisey's Story which really stuck with me for a while.

That's a wonderful present! I hope you enjoy it thoroughly, and happy christmas!

I'm about two thirds the way through "The Shining" by Stephen King and really enjoying it - read about sixty pages today.

I have a few. Nick Heidfeld (racing driver) Hugh Laurie Tim Robbins (especially in the Shawshank, I have NO IDEA WHY!)

Come Dine With Me - Just waiting to pick my boyfriend up from work!

1. Age: 25-34 (nearly 26) 2. Gender: Female. 3. What do you read on a daily basis? Books, magazines and newspapers. 4. How often do you read for fun in a week? Everyday. 5. What time of day do you like to read? In the morning when I wake for an hour or two, and usually in the evenings. 6. Where do you read? Usually in my bedroom, sometimes in the living room. 7. How many books have you read in the last 6 months? Over 20, under 40, but not sure on numbers. 8. What type/genre do you enjoy reading most? Horror, Crime, Mystery, True Life/Non Fiction and Romance (in that order). 9. Why do you read? I find it relaxing and I enjoy being absorbed by a good story. 10. What barriers prevent you from reading more? I get tired easily and find it hard to concentrate on books after a while, so have to do it in doses. 11. Do you think reading for fun is important? Absolutely. I am very grateful to my parents for teaching me to read at a very early age, and whilst I had a period during my teens when I didn't read a lot, I find it a very useful pursuit in your spare time to be learning and enriching your life. 12. Do you fold page corners or use a bookmark? I am a heathen, I fold, sometimes use bookmarks. 13. Do you prefer to read to music or in silence? Silence. 14. Do you discuss books with your friends? Not very often - I discuss books with my boyfriend as we are both avid readers, but beyond that my friends don't really spend much time reading the same sorts of books I do. 15. Do you borrow books from the library? I usually have about four books out at any one time! 16. Do you borrow/loan books from/to friends? I have done in the past, but sometimes I've never seen them again and sometimes they've come back in such a state!

In the set of stories by Stephen King in "Four Past Midnight", The Langoliers freaked the hell out of me. The vast blackness I could really imagine and it felt scary to think of the concept.

I have my license but I've not driven for a couple of years now. Last car I had was a Ford Ka 1.1 but for the life of me I cannot remember the year, I think it was either 02 or 03. My ex has it now anyway. My boyfriend can't drive, so if I go out, I have to walk or get the bus - I love walking despite not being able to do much of it, but in the summer when I was feeling better I was walking 7-8 miles a day!

Brendan will not be a happy bunny!

Is anyone still tuning in? I was really glad to see Red Bull win the Constructors, especially considering they are a new team. I would love Webber to win the Championship, I'm not warm to any of the others (and sad that Jenson is out!).

I think Widdecombe is funny, but agree that people like Tina being voted out before her is a bit unfair. I really want Matt to win - I have a total girl-crush on him!
