i read it, it made me laugh, but i know little about english people
clank, thanks for the lovely baby outfit, when i told everyone at the shower that it came all the way from england, there were many ooohs and aaaaahs about the long trip.
i have been a horrible person lately and not read. i am working on Forever Ours by janis Amatiszio,MD. I am also still in the middle of the civil war book i was reading last month. I have a book in my car that i have been reading for 7 months. i read it when i am waiting for someone.
i used to get birds and blooms, i loved it and sould probably get it again soon.
i have middlesex to read, alex said it was good, so i thought i'd try. i also have farewell to arms to read for a bookgroup thing. i'm working on hp#7 and i don't like it as much as i liked the other books, but i didn't really like hp#6 either. 1-5 were good, in my opinion, and she did a good job at maturing the characters in the books for every age the kids reached.
for me, #6 was anticlimatic, everything just bumbled along until dumbledore dies and it all falls off a cliff. i don't think i'm far enough into #7 to give a good opinion on it yet, so i'll keep going.
I did think there was a lot of hanging around in wet tents in HP7. But it was still worth it in the end :oD
I have never read anything by Wilbur Smith or any of the other books you have been talking about. I am listening to Great Expectations on audio book in my kitchen. That is pretty fab.
when i was in college, i took a class about family relations and child development where they made us read case logs from the local social services office where crimes against children are reported and investigated. that was the last "true crime" i've ever been able to choke down, and i hope to never have to read anything like it again.
when i don't want fiction, and i have time, i have a good collection of biographies of past political figures that i'm working through.
Dian...I read that. I thought it was excellent. I also read Sarum by him (wonderful book) and the Forest, which I didn't like quite as much. I believe his first book was Russka, and I would like to read that too.
Clank, I read "Sarum" too, a couple of years ago. It was my favorite of the two. I haven't read any of the others, but I think Anonymous Alex may be right.

Jilly, you are very welcome. It was only little.
Sue, do you like crime books? Or biographies? I went through about a five year phase of only reading biographies.
Alex, you have to finish it! I sobbed all the way through.

Sue, your reading habits are beginning to disturb me. ;)
I'm reading "At Large and At Small: Familiar Essays" by Anne Fadiman. I like essays plus they suit my current short attention span.
Sadly, I'm bookless at the moment. But, I have to pick up "Water for Elephants" to read for my book group in two weeks.
Ienjoyed water for elephants .I am still struggling though harry potter only on payge 149 and it seems like I have been readin g it forever

Dickens Rocks.
Don't you mean dickens should be stoned ?
i don't read much fiction but when i do it has to be disturbing or very funny.
i don't do romance.
i like real crime and historical biographies
"Don't you mean dickens should be stoned ?"
And don't think I don't know who you are.

My very favourite history book ever in the whole world is London, The Biography by Peter Ackroyd.
>>"Don't you mean dickens should be stoned ?"
>And don't think I don't know who you are.
Ha me too. I would have said it myself but I'm not that witty.
Clank, I recently read "London" by Edward Rutherfurd. He's popular in the US.
Dian...I read that. I thought it was excellent. I also read Sarum by him (wonderful book) and the Forest, which I didn't like quite as much. I believe his first book was Russka, and I would like to read that too.
Hi s first book was Sarum and eery other book he;s written since is the same basic bloody book with a few facts changed for the new city
Clank, I read "Sarum" too, a couple of years ago. It was my favorite of the two. I haven't read any of the others, but I think Anonymous Alex may be right.
