Hi Mike You mentioned reading Classics. Came across this quote and thought it might amuse you 'Classic' A book which people praise and don't read Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) Dee xx |

Don't worry Jude, just collected my copy from the library today. Cost me 40p as reserved it over the internet and they had to send it from Bewdley to Redditch. So will start tonight. Jane Austen one is on offer with the You magazine for £3.50 I think. Ros |

From the Love Affairs Of A Bibliomaniac.... I have always contended that one who is in love (and having once been in love is to be always in love) has, actually, no confession to make. Love is so guileless, so proper, so pure a passion as to involve none of those things which require or which admit of confession. He, therefore, who surmises that in this exposition of my affaires du coeur there is to be any betrayal of confidences, or any discussion, suggestion, or hint likely either to shame love or its votaries or to bring a blush to the cheek of the fastidious---he is grievously in error. LOL |

Got my Seed and Sower from the work today and ordered the Russian one (can't remember how to spell it!!!). Over the weekend my friend and I both read The Bad Mother's Handbook - excellent book, would thoroughly recommend it - not sure blokes would like/understand it so much though! Have started the Jane Austen Book Club, then it will be Mr Lawrence. Mike, I keep meaning to read more classics too, but keep getting sidetracked. Today for instance I have brought home Mr Lawrence, plus the Time Travellers Wife, the Bookseller of Kabul and another one that I couldn't put back on the shelf. Thats the problem with working in a library - temptation is always there lol !! Maz. XX |

Hiya GReadies, Dee, You are the No1 bookworm! lol Why you never started a Book Club I'll never know. I've finally finished my other book - didn't enjoy that much, but one of these you read to find out the ending! So tonight I'll start Mr Lawrence!! I've read Ragged Trousered (twice) -- its good. You know what'll happen we'll end up talking about all sorts of books here - great! I REALLY want to read a bit more of the classics, but school made them so boring I haven't looked at them since, but maybe with an adults eye I might see them differently? Or do others feel the same? Got put off at school by Shakespeare and all that jazz? |

Hi folks Have finished Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, just couldn't put it down. Am now well into The Ragged Trouserd Philanthropist that Dave recommended. As the ancestors of the couple who raised my Dad were mainly in the building trade it will be interesting to get a feel for the kind of lives they led. Dee x |

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence has David Bowie on the front and I think was a reprint of 'The Seed and The Sower' released when the film came out. I guess there are less of that title around and that is why they can ask a higher price for them. Dee |

I see if I had ordered 'The Seed and the Sower' I could have got it from Amazon about £10.00 cheaper, funny as it is the same book ! brenda |
