Thanks, I really appreciate it! :D

Who is your favorite character and why? I'll admit my favorite character is Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot for several reasons: his superb use of his little grey cells his conceite makes him really amusing his foreign ways his amusing habit of carefully brushing specks of dust off of...

lol -Since I live in a neighborhood where people would rather party, be on the streets, or play video games and virtually NOBODY reads it's nice to find people to "blab" about books with.

Try reading the (I think it's called) Unauthorized Biography of Lemony Snicket...it's really amusing.

Try Mary Stuart. Her books were very readable-I especially liked The Crystal Cave. (but that book is about Merlin)

lol I guess her books have the same effect on a lot of people.

lol I had that problem when I first started reading her books...I would put the book down and expect Lestat to hear my thoughts.

Can read the words but I'm afraid I don't understand the language haven't gotten that far yet..... :(

I do keep a journal of vocabulary but I don't add english words. I usually just look up any words I don't know in the dictionary. Also I find that my vocabulary expands naturally just by enjoying what I read.

I once read a book when I was a kid by Roald Dahl but I can't for the life of me remember the title. I remember it was about a child who I think lived on a farm or something and someone made some kind of potion and all the chickens got really huge. I also seem to remember a mean grandma...

I agree. I found her book on Mary Queen of Scots to be almost tedious- and yet I went and bought her book on Mary Magdalene lol. Her book on Henry VIII was not bad though. For great historical fiction I always loved Jean Plaidy. She has several different series but I particularly liked her...

sorry didn't know how to do that quote thing. :confused:

As I remember it, mine was an E.B. White, too--The Trumpet of the Swan. I fell in love with Louis, the jazz-playing mute swan who took taxicabs Mine was also Trumpet of The Swan- I loved that book- I still do. What's not to love about a swan who goes to school?

That's a really hard question! I treasure all my books but I guess I could say the most treasured is the first book I ever had- an illustrated children's bible that was given to me when I was an infant...some of the pages are covered with crayon marks from when I was small and didn't know any...

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie and The Da Vinci Code were two that I couldn't put down

I got two pages into Interview With A Vampire by Anne Rice and put the book down but I came back like 6 months later and enjoyed it very much. I also put down Moby Dick 3 chapters in-I don't know why I just can't seem to get into it!

I also prefer Poirot to Holmes!- actually I think Poirot is one of my favorite characters from any book. Miss Marple is kind of lovable too.

usually atleast 3 hours a day with the occasional all nighter (depends what book) and sometimes less.

It's a great hobby. My happiest moments are spent looking for, purchasing, and getting lost in my new books. What's not to love? :D

hmmm..... And Then There Were None- Agatha Christie Blood And Gold- Anne Rice The Inferno- Dante Scarlett- ? Angels And Demons- Dan Brown hmm.......you said just 5 :(
