Ups, I had to look up “certitudes” in a dictionary. Thank you for the new word. Well, Halloween is round the corner so it’s the right time to be scary, isn’t it?:devil: Somehow, surprises always find their way, even if you are not looking for them. I am just trying to steer away from...

For me, life is too short to waste it on average (and bellow) books. I always try to select the best I can, and almost never start reading a book by accident (because it has catchy title, is number one bestseller, etc...) It means a little bit of background research and selecting the right...

Well, I hope I will squeeze at least one more (of the same size) in January. It’s a long Canadian winter :) But don’t count on me during the summer months.

I don't have any new suggestions, but I would also like to read "The Man Who Was Thursday". Sounds interesting (and about 100 pages;)).

Thank you for your suggestions. I looked them up at the Amazon. Abecedarian. I think that my son would probably pick “The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet” from your list. Sparkchaser, It seems that Judy Blume’s books are full of humor and adventure, and that’s exactly what my...

My son is turning 8 in a few weeks. He really loves reading so I would like to buy him a good book(s). Maybe something that would be considered a classic for his age (if there is something like that). Some of his favorite books are: - The Geronimo Stilton series – I think he has read all of...

Thanks everyone.

Hello everyone. This is my first post here - just to see how it works. I love reading but my busy lifestyle doesn't leave me enough time for that. With a full time job and two lively boys at home it's quite a challenge to find time for my hobby. Another factor is that English is not my...
