50 cents - harcover! Thats a good deal :) Out here, things like clearance sale are very very rare! And second hand books? If you go out on the streets, you will definitely find many people who claim to be selling used books, but most of the time they are pirated :mad: So, I save up and buy...

Hmm... I hardly buy hardcover books. One, they don't fit mu bydget and two, the craze here is for paperbacks. Somehow, people here don't buy hardback copies! So, I bought a paperback! I wanted that particular edition (don't remember the year) which was all black and a a bird drawn in red...

Reading books :D What's your favourite bookshop? Mine's Sankar's - The Book People, Bangalore.

Oh I forgot to mention what puts me off! One thing that annoys me about these big 'popular' bookstores is that they hire so many helpers who have no clue about books. I once went to a highly popular bookshop here and was looking for a particular book. The books were not arranged neatly, I...

Small bookstore, chairs (not necessarily comfy sofa) to sit on when you browse through book racks, shopkeeper who is knowledgeable about books, can understand my taste of books and recommend some book that I like. I am particularly impressed by a shopkeeper who knows which book is where. Tell...

I read the first few pages of 'Still Life With Woodpecker' on amazon and I love it! I like his style. Thanks once again, Martin, this goes into my TBR. *note to myself: remember to look for this author when you go to the library next time*

You have successfully aroused my interest, Martin! I love the quotes that you have posted, especially this: I will certainly try his books sometime. Thanks :)

First of all, Martin, why are you so against (Sorry, can't find the right word) this brainwave activity and deja vu? Are you being paid by a bunch of scientists who are doing some research to diprove these things? ( Look! A smiley ----> :) ) Talking about deja vu, its happened with me many a...

:eek: Be careful Martin. Some people (read girls) might want to dream about doing certain naughty things to you! ;)

I know :D

Thats one weird dream!!! Do you dream about putting TBF members to sleep too?

I dream a lot too! But I seem to forget most of them when I wake up. When I recall some weird dream, I will definitely post here! Oh yeah here's one: I dreamt once that my husband was having an affair with a common friend of ours. I used to like that girl earlier, but now I just hate her...

Well, in my earlier post I had used the sentence 'Dont be silly. That book is crap.' And the stress was more on the first sentence, rather than the second one. S, in effect I was conveying the same thing. Anyways, glad you see my point :) And yes, I know you might not be offended by...

You dont see my point. I am not offended if somebody calls something crap which I really love! I would be offended if they tried to be rude to me or insult me regarding the same. I dont mind someone saying 'I think the book you liked is crap.' Feel free! No hassles! But, dont say 'Dont...
