When I'm finished reading the last page of a book, I shut the book and then look at the cover, take it all in, then read the blurb again. I HAVE to look at the cover after reading the last page. It's like after being tickled, you have to scratch the spot. I just can't NOT do it! :p Does...

hmmm....bout 8 :confused:

Yeah I don't think I could really pass my books on. I would have no prob lending them to people, but I'd expect them back. Well, I'd WANT them back. I just love looking at the books on my shelves and knowing that I can just pick one up at random at dip into it. If I passed my books...

Lying on sofa in my room, in bed, in college. Wherever I am when I have the opportunity. :)

must agree with you there. its amazing when you shut a book and feel as though you've just lived that person's life. :)

When you're reading, do you look for a good plot? strong characters? a new outlook on life? style? theme? a twist? escapism? Or do you just want to be entertained?

you need the commas ;)

wow, my mate is in college in wales and she was telling me about this town comprised virtually of second-hand bookstores. I thought she was pulling my leg. Sorry June! :o

I love trawling second-hand shops for the odd gem. When I was a kid the rush from finding that Famous Five book missing from my collection was unbeatable. ("err....just give us 10p for it")! Just yesterday in visiting 3 shops in my local town, I picked up: "My Sister's Keeper" by Judi...

May I please draw everyone's attention to the following quote....... Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. And that's from Albert...

Thanks! :)

It would, if the only material you read dealt with one particular opinion or notion. As a reader, you delve into an abundance of topics by different authors with quite different views on life.

THE SIXTH LAMENTATION - William Broderick

I enjoyed it while I was reading it but it left no lasting impression I'm afraid. Am I just cold and heartless?!

That book was my bed time story when I was a kid. I loved it. It is a classic and you should definitely give it a go.

It's only a small college just outside Dublin. We study a variety of subjects including animal handling, general animal care, behaviour, evolution, conservation, dog grooming, anatomy and physiology.

beautiful place. you're very lucky.

I will probably get bored with the whole animal thing after awhile. My attention span is frightfully short when im not being fed a wide variety of information, lol. So where are you studying?

i did try it on numerous occasions. just couldnt get into it at all. im really missing something there.

yeah, id quite like to go on to study zoology. Im also quite capable of taking up something completely different so we will see.
