Hello all,

[dean.cummings]

I had no idea a web site like this excited. I am so pleased.

I’m Dean and although I have always had an obsession with books, recently after reading Salman Rushdie's Midnight Children, I’ve come to terms with my problem.

I think I might addicted, but its ok... not worried, because I am happy about it.

Please feel free to say hello.

At the moment I’m waiting (too long) for "catch 22" to be delivered, and just finished Crime and Punishment.

There are far worse things to be addicted to than books. Like Faberge Eggs.

Welcome!

 

[dean.cummings]

That would be dangerous.
But the vital question:
Is there i time one should not read?

I do get very anti social.

I have not read while driving, but I have while stopped at red lights, it was one of those books of collections of newspaper comic strips where you can read a few in a couple of minutes.

Also, welcome Dean.

Thank you.

I have noticed people reading while stuck in traffic. Then again I have also see foreign haulage drivers watching movies on widescreen TV's. That’s quite common on the M4 late at night.

I don't read in the car. That is where I do the majority of satisfying my musical fix.

What if you're hosting a book reading event?

Only one answer to that scenario:
