    Turning your book passion into an occupation

    You are correct in that more and more library programs are dealing with how to teach customers (even though most places call them patrons, we are taught that they should be called customers even though they don't purchase anything) to use the internet and various databases that they would use to...

    book advice

    You can try the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Each of the three books are very long and you might like them. They are fantasy, but since you like sci-fi, I really don't know if you would like them.

    How often do you read?

    I try to read at least for two hours before going to bed each night, although lately it has been somewhat tougher to do it that way as I start to yawn at around 11:30 (I usually head to bed at around 11). I have been getting up at 6:30 or 7 in the morning on most weekdays. Also I have been on...

    Library

    I agree with Pearl on this issue and some of the others that have responded to your topic. The public library is exactly that public. And anybody who has a library card for whatever system you are using and therefore they should have access to the computers equally as you do. I also have to...

    Best War Book

    Although I haven't read any books that I can give a decent assessment on for WWII (read Schindler's List and Diary of Anne Frank, but quite sometime ago) :eek:, I have read "All quiet on the Western Front" twice and thought it was excellent. Now I just have read it for the heck of it and really...

    Is anyone addicted to Grey's Anatomy?

    What makes a book a "favourite"?

    Well said :cool: I also think a favourite book is something that, even if you haven't read in some while, you will think about and wonder about the themes you read; it also makes you appreciate life in its fullness. The author should make the book feel like home and make you want to curl up on...

    Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go

    Just about done the book (one chapter to go and then I will be done, unforntately not in March :() and I have to say that I wished that he hadn't revealed why Halisham and the other schools were set up so late in the book (not telling where, in case there are people looking that haven't read it...
