    Your favorite position

    propped up against my pillows in bed :) And it's great when you get the munchies around 12am! Go and get a glass of ice cold milk (skimmed if course) & some biscuits or chocolate.... just be careful of the crumbs!!!

    Getting to know each other... (It's feezzzzzing cold in here :( )

    There are a lot of people who are still suffering the after affects of the war & Hitler's plans for the Master Race. I don't propose that it should just be forgotten (“The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again.” - George Santayana; this is actually on a plaque at...

    How well read are you?

    Well said :) I also really enjoy reading and I've read thousands of books. I've read since I was a little girl (not that I'm that much taller now! :rolleyes: ) and I really do believe that an early interest makes a difference.

    What's in a name?

    The title of a book plays a part to a certain extent in as much that it may grab my attention (along with the cover) but I'm happy having a book recommended by someone or on amazon & reading the synopsis even if the title may have initially not stood out to me. If I then like the sound of it...

    Who likes The Sound of Music?

    I grew up on The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins & Annie & although I don't watch them very often any more, I still love them :D My Nan even gave me the LP Soundtrack to The Sound of Music which I've still got at home :)

    Love: as a subtle emotion

    @ cFaniak - I agree with Genie; that's very moving & your English was perfect :) To me, love is amazing in as much that it has so many facets to be explored. Here are two conclusions that I've come to at this point: At it's best, you can feel like you are on top of the world, floating...

    Thanks for that Dogtanian :) I shouldn't really need to buy any new books for a few months after that lot tbh. I've already got about 4 new books that I haven't read & my Dad has loads of books that I'll be borrowing :D I'll check out One Hundred Years of Solitude. Cheers

    How many times.......

    If I've read a really good book then I will re-read it over & over. Even though I have a load of new books to read, if I suddenly fancy reading an old one, I go for it. :)

    Hi' Can anybody recommend any good Thriller/Suspense books?

    Two fairly new authors I thought were really good: Karin Slaughter & Jillane Hoffman - still reading The Last Witness which is JH's second book; very impressed.

    New books...

    I don't have a favourite book shop - I buy from WH Smiths, Waterstones & occasionally Borders. I must admit that I end up picking up a few in Adsa (Wal-mart) as although they don't have a wide range, you can get some decent books at very good prices :)
