Forrest Gump - Winston Groom. D.

I, for once, found it to be incredibly boring. As Stewart mentioned, nothing happens... it just drags and drags forever. I will probably try to read another of Woolf's books, but I was definitely not impressed with Mrs Dalloway. D.

I've been dating for almost 10 years and live with my man for almost three. My boyfriends reads less than a book a year (he prefers magazines). That never was a problem, there are many other aspects of his personality that are fascinating. If I wann talk about books, I just talk with my parents...

Xmas shopping: Slaughterhouse-5 - Kurt Vonnegut I married a communist - Philip Roth Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarty Gran Serton: Veredas - João Guimarães Rosa Dharma

It's difficult for me to read without any kind of noise around me. Usually I have music playing low. I have no problem with people talking, cat making noise, whatever (unless the noise is very loud). The only problem is when my boyfriend decides to sing... :mad: Dharma

Yes, but I've only started the list four or five months ago. I just write it on a notepad, organized by months, with name of the book, author, small description or my opinion and a note (0-20). Dharma

... when somebody asks you about a possible wishlist ("what you'd you buy if somebody offered you 200 euros?") and all you can remember is books (I'm not materialist (sp?), maybe that helps). Dharma

I used to be quite judgmental about what other people read, specially because here in Portugal most people usually read stuff like Dan Brown. Now I don't care what other people read. I sometimes have an urge to go to them and say "Don't bother" or "That book is quite good", but obviously I never...

Olha! Uma portuguesa! Hey, welcome to this forum. You are definitely not the only one thinking reading is an endangered activity. ;) Hope you like it around here. Folks are really nice and willing to help. Diverte-te! E lê muito! (Have fun! And read a lot!) Dharma

The train or the bus. I usually don't read at home, I read while I'm going to and coming from work. So basically I end up with: a book + a public transport. (At home, if it's possible: bed + bedside lamp + music. But usually I end up falling asleep, so transports are definitely the best...

Are you suggesting that she can actually write? Hmm... after that rumor that she could sing, I don't know if I believe it... :cool: Dharma

Now that's a good idea.... Thank you. Dharma

1) One Book that made you read it More Than Once: "The portrait of Dorian Gray" - Oscar Wilde 2) One book you would want on a desert island: An Encyclopedia (and a notebook) 3) One book that made you laugh: "Catch-22" - Joseph Heller (I'm reading it right now) 4) One book that made...

12? Not bad.... I have around 20 waiting for me... after I promised I would only buy new books when I had only 2 or 3 to read... :D Dharma PS - Obviously I'm not counting the books my parents are gonna lend me... otherwise...
