That's nice. I'm afraid I use something far more prosaic, the card product tag off a pair of waterproof trousers.

Debbie Stoller's crochet book is called The Happy Hooker. I suppose it's the most obvious euphemism :) I think knitting is a good social activity as (unless you are struggling counting repeats on a lace shawl *sigh*) you can do it almost automatically and it's always nice to have people to...

I've not seen the Divien and Kitchel one, but I have SnB Nation and certainly vouch for the Hurry Up Spring Wristwarmers! As a book I've only really glanced through it, but some of the stories and pictures of the SnB groups are quite interesting. I'm a bit of a lone knitter myself.

I am very fussy about looking after my own books and would take great care of any that I borrowed off someone else. I expect the same respect back. I once lent my MIL my copies of David Edding's Belgariad and when I saw the state that they had gotten into, I said she could keep them. I'd rather...

I went there in 1993 but only for a day trip (I was staying in Germany at the time) and I really liked it. Very atmospheric, with museums, winding streets and little arcades with cafes, street musicians & dancers and art stalls. I've always thought that I'd like to go back but it seems to have...

I bought Simon Barnes' latest for my sister, Patrick Moore's 50 Years in Space for my Dad, Thomas the Tank Engine for my nephew (big hardback anthology, it's bigger than he is!) and some book tokens for my niece.

I scribbled a list in a notebook last year of the books I own but have not read. There were about 35 books on there. I have, however, been shopping since then...

I've read loads of books more than once, also. If I liked a book, I'll think nothing of picking it up again... occasionally if I have really enjoyed a book I'll get to the end and then go straight back to the beginning to read it again :D

I finished this not so long ago, and thought it was certainly interesting although I didn't like it as much as I had expected to - I had very high hopes for it though. I don't believe that Henry had deliberately influenced Claire's life in the way that has been suggested, simply because the...

Obviously I am not Libre but I can answer your question. It is The Princess Bride by William Goldman.

I wasn't expecting a fluffy romance, but all consuming passion and obsession. Not a man who should be locked up for the safety of all. As for Cliff, who knows??!

More than I thought I would, to be honest. The size of the book (and Dickens' reputation) are quite daunting, but I'm actually really getting into it. The opening chapter with the fog is quite brilliant and the characters are great, especially some of the names (like Mr Tulkinghorn and...

Shame dsberg never came back to say what they thought of the film.

The product promotion is totally blatant. I've never read the book though, so maybe someone does actually ask Bond what sort of watch he wears. I liked the film - although thinking back on it the bit in Venice sticks with me as being particularly silly.

I really liked Moby Dick, though :) Much more exciting.

I said I didn't like Wuthering Heights, and I accept that disliking a novel that is considered a classic is probably an odd thing. I wasn't made to study the content in depth, so cannot blame school, I simply didn't enjoy reading it. I found the story difficult to get into and never got beyond...

Hello all. I registered here a little while ago, but never really said hello properly. I love books (possibly love possessing books and hoarding them, rather than actually reading them it seems sometimes), particularly sci fi and fantasy stuff, like Louise Cooper, Frank Herbert and Orson...

Wuthering Heights :(

I really enjoyed JS&MN, I thought it had a real atmosphere and, although it may be a little slow in parts, was a book you could really immerse yourself in. If you stick with it, the ending is a treat.

It would seem that the rumours of poetry theft are true. Where are the poetry police when you need them?
