I do both. If I'm not sure if I'll like a book, or if it's too expensive, then I'll borrow it. If I like it, and think that I will re-read it later, then I buy it. :D

:D A big Starcraft fan. :D Except I couldn't finish the expansion pack (Brood War). I kept getting stuck on the second last level (), so eventually I gave up. :rolleyes:

Happy Birthday, Ell!

No - because I don't have kids. :p I think people are either readers, or they are not. When I was a kid, my parents never had to set a time where I had to read; they usually had to tell me to stop reading and to go to bed. :rolleyes: I know quite a few people who have never picked up a...

No, I used to have pen-pals when I was younger, but eventually we just stopped writing. :rolleyes: Grew out of it, or got bored (or too lazy) I guess. :confused:

Derry, Maine. :p (Stephen King reference :p ) The setting of a book doesn't influence me at all as to whether I'll read it or not. I just look for an all round interesting read. :)

I've read it, and I quite enjoyed it. :D I haven't read any of his other books though - I'm sure I will some day. :rolleyes:

I'm still re-reading The Stand. :o I have to get back into the routine of reading again. :eek: ;)

Ditto - I generally stop watching after that; then I start again when it's down to the final ten. :D

:D Cute! :D

Snakes blood. It was only years later, that someone told me that it's used as an aphrodisiac. :eek:

Hey - cute teddy bear squished on the top shelf! :D

Yesterday I bought Ann Rule's The Stranger Beside Me, and Patricia Cornwall's Portrait of a Killer for £2.50 each. :eek: Today, I'm off to pick up The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. :D

***Here be SPOILERS**** I quite liked the ending of the book, though I thought the death of the Crimson King was a bit...anti-climactic, as was the death of Randall Flagg. :eek: How could a villain who has been so prominent in so many King books, be killed so.....easily! :eek: I would have...

I just finished this book, though I have to admit I did a fair bit of skimming towards the end. :o I've been reading it for the last month, and just wanted to get on to something new. :rolleyes: Having said that though, I really did enjoy it - it is the first of it's kind that I have read...

I'm Watership Down too!! :D

Awwww, thanks guys. :D I'm on holidays overseas at the moment, so I haven't had time to post. :rolleyes: In fact, I haven't really had time to read - I've been reading the same book for the past 4 weeks. :eek: :o But I got a book for my birthday - Life A Users Manual by Georges Perec - so...

RitalinKid, Jared Diamond has another book out - was released late last year. Haven't had a chance to pick it up yet, but it looks interesting. :) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0670033375/qid=1105913095/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/103-2009747-9190219?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

Kate Bush - Top of the City

Hi and welcome! Stephen King is one of my favourite authors too. What is your fave book of his? Mine would be The Stand, and then It. :)
