Awww, you're nice you are. :D
Wow, that was quick. You should be on the telly, you know, offering your version of speed reading.
Me too, I think. Only I don't, because I am already slightly upset that I have read three and a half Irving's books and there's only about eight and a half left...
I've read a couple of classics more than once. When I little, I loved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Greyfriar's Bobby, and read them over and over until I outgrew them (about a year ago :p ). Reread Animal Farm, mainly because it's short, a few times, and Jane Eyre, because I once saw a...
Oh, there is. I'm weird and like to know what's going to happen. Familiarity, and all that, stops nasty surprises. Okay I know that's daft...
You think TROTD? Only think? Go reread. :D
Shade will have, he's read everything. ;)
Isn't 'pocket the difference' ASDA. Still, even a bookophile such as yourself, would not like to taste books, I shouldn't think.
But when Tesco are the only supplier of books, we will... oh stuff that argument.
Oh, and ye who is master of facts, how did I guess you'd know the price of...
I bought mine in Tesco too. Along with some lovely, lovely, non black-clad classics for under £3 each (well surely nobody knows the exact price of these bargain books Tesco sells).
It's a crime to purchase books from Tesco though. Of every £8 spent by British shoppers, £1 of it is in Tesco...
Sorry Gem, just seen this. Er, no, I didn't finish it yet. But I started it (well, the first page anyway :o ), and I just read your spoiler. :D
Have you read any others by Ishiguro, Gem?
I think I might leave A Pale View of Hills and plump for An Artist of the Floating World instead. Or...
Hmm. Having never read anything by him I can't comment (or I shouldn't, but I will ;) ) but I agree that often imagination outweighs language. E.g. John Irving. Characters need to be expertly created, for that though.
Oh, I thought it was a pageturner. :p
No, but the scenes? Yeah, okay, you're right. I could picture the scene where she bumps into him in the library, and of course, he doesn't know her, and so they go for dinner and she fills him in. I could picture the party, when he waits for her in the...
Hmm, yeah okay. You could hide the book inside some all-important papers, though, Libre. Any old excuse huh? ;)
The beating up the guy was quite unrealistic on both their parts (oh yeah, and travelling in time is normal :rolleyes: ) but yeah, it was Clare's initiation.
I disagree that...
Thanks Shade. I knew I should have waited, but you know those spoiler tags just have such an attraction.
And apologies to anyone who clicks on my spoiler, for the spelling mistake. :eek:
