Most of us here in England know... It's the name of the test for London taxi drivers.

Well, if I hate something, I rarely get past the front page. There is one I finished ...The Time Traveler's Wife ... Ugh! Nothing more than a bloody romance. I thought it was dreadful. The people who recommended it went down in my estimation. The DaVinci Code is slagged off by a great many...

Yes, The Red Pony is sad. I like sad endings, and ponies.:D

You'll get them on amazon surely? I loved them, my kids didn't. My favourites were the circus trilogy. They weren't her biggies, but running away to join a circus ... Who wouldn't, apart from John Major, who ran away from a circus to be an accountant:confused: And a prime minister:eek...

Has 'The Red Pony' been mentioned? I like that best.

Tommy Cooper jokes A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts.The shrink says, "Well, I can clearly see you're nuts." ----------------------- I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. ---------------- My friend...

Well, I love libraries. Really, really love them. Librarians are helpful, and friendly, and do all they can to help. If they haven't got the book, they buy it for you, only charging £1. Lovely, lovely libraries:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Well, I don't think much of him. Hay(some no.) and I are the only non-believers then? I read Cat's Cradle, it was just OK. Could NOT read that short story collection with bamboo in the title, and gave up on Sirens of Titan about a quarter way in. I'd have thought it was mainly men who...

What do you do with books you don't want anymore? I'd like to think most of us keep them, intending to ........ (insert own ideas).... There comes a time though, when they have to go. I can't bin them. What's best, amazon, ebay, other?

Well, on the news yesterday, it said he was accused of having sex with two girls aged twelve. There is no cure for his addiction. nor for any pedophile's addiction. Yet they keep being released. The firing squad's too kind. Much better to castrate him and keep him in prison as a sex toy...

I wouldn't slag anyone off until I'd made my own impressions. I hadn't heard of him, just picked the book up at random. I found out after reading, on google. I don't know why I felt disapointed about the ending. It seemed too far fetched I suppose.

Yes, Bukowski is God, well, mine.:) I can't do Lord of the boring Rings either.

Some of your postings are brilliant. I love that sunset landscape. http://www.artmolds.com/ali/halloffame/ron_muek.htm My fav. but to see actually them is the thing really.

Have any of you read him? I've just read 'the heart is deceitful above all things'. I couldn't put it down. But then felt a bit disapointed. Any of you read his first book 'Sarah'?

I read the first page, then either chuck the book or pile it with the rest for 'later':rolleyes: I don't think I've read any though. Do you not even read the front page? I love Charles Bukowski, I've read all his novels and short stories. You'll either love him or hate him, find out by...

Hello. I live next door to you. Well, next county. The one up and west. You've probably never seen it though. I'd avoid it if I could.:D

Any of you anti-smoking lobbyists? Well clear off then! :mad: I've been addicted since is was legal, encouraged and affordable. So, have some pity. I read a lot, I've read a lot. I hope to continue to do so. Hoping this is a good place to find tips on what's a good read. :)...

I'm so glad Vintagewhino has mentioned Charles Bukowski. I found 'Women' his worst book. Good, but nothing like as good as Post Office, Factotum and most of his others. Sue Townsend, all of hers, except Ghost Children. Her one serious book.:( 'Re-Building Coventry' is one of her funniest...
