    Your favourite bookshop / place to buy books

    The convenience, value and selection from on-liners such as Amazon? I'd only ever buy from such places when im stockpiling books and do not need to read them this instant. I find shopping online to be generally very unenjoyable Poking around in musky second hand shops looking for the...

    Book Length

    I find it easier and at times more enjoyable to read shorter books/small chapters for i read while travelling and it's easier to pick up rather than be lost. It's terrible but i do love a good book which uses quality paper,nice font and proper word spacing.

    Strings

    I saw Strings a few months ago and found it extremely enjoyable but at the same time i expected more from it. I guess it did lack from the fact it was puppets without facial expressions. It was visually wonderful

    Favorite news magazine-which is the best?

    I entirely agree but i feel bad at times for i know i've fallen slightly into the trap of adoring the economist for it has similar economic and social principles as my own *embarrased*, i swore i'd never become one of those people that reads what he wants to hear!

    I enjoyed his humour in the book and bowling for columbine but i've found everything else after these two have just not been funny. I don't take his political ramblings seriously but it was fine for he was funny and now :(
