No, I haven't read it, but I plan to quite soon. I'm surprised other people haven't commented, as I thought it was a widely read book. :confused:

Not sure which country I'm in (America, I think), but I have just gone blind while waiting at the traffic lights. :eek:

Judy Blume, and Enid Blyton were my favourite authors. I can't think of any that I didn't like. I seem to have become a lot fussier as I've gotten older. :whistling:

According to my LibraryThing catalog, I have 186 unread books. I'd better get a move on, I think. :lol:

When I was in early high school, I read loads of books, probably around 3-5 per week. But the books I read were teenage fiction, or young adult, and quite easy to get through. These days, I'm lucky if I can get through one book a fortnight. :banghead6mx:

'The amber light came on.' - Blindness by Jose Saramago

The next one on my list is The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber. I've had this one for a while, but library books kept getting in the way. After that, I'd like to read some John Banville and try The Heart Shaped Box (which I just bought today) by Joe Hill. Also, I've been browsing...

I definitely prefer paperbacks, however I'll buy a hardback if it will be a while before the paperback version is released.

The Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill.

I don't like only one particular genre; I'll read Science-Fiction, Crime, Historical Fiction, and just general fiction. :)

I loved the first 3 books, when I first read them. I think I was in my mid to late teens, and I just thought they were superb. A few years ago, I decided to re-read them, and I was very disappointed. :rolleyes: Well, the first book was ok, but the second one - The Valley Of Horses - was just so...

In London, in the 70's, living in a communal house with loads of women. :whistling:

No idea, as it's only recently that I've been keeping track. But counting books that I read from childhood, I'd probably say it was in the high hundreds. :confused:

To answer your question, you can use the sort button, and then select which column you want to sort by.

Oooh, nice! :blink:

In Africa. I'm on the run from the bad guys!

'It was incredibly hot that last summer, even for December; the very air lethargic with it.' - If You Can Walk, You Can Dance by Marion Molteno

Dirty monkey! ;)

How about Carl Sagan for quite a broad view on science? Cosmos and Pale Blue Dot are ones I enjoyed. Stephen Hawking is quite good too, if you have an interest in the universe and it's creation, though it can be quite heavy.

Two spring to mind: The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold, and The Rule of Four (can't remember the author). In fact, I was so disgusted by the latter book's ending that I hurled it across the room. :mad:
