    Mapping your favourite authors

    It's quite fun to see if any of your favourite authors link up (which many of mine do). Although when I searched for Garth Nix one of his closest names was Gath Nix, which I'm assuming is just a spelling error. :p A lot of the searches have given quite accurate results so far. I'll definately be...

    Do you keep a book list?

    An online list of books I own on LibraryThing, a wanted list online at Listal and in a notebook and books I've read in a notebook. My lists are way too long to post...

    Turning your book passion into an occupation

    Library science? That sounds great! :D I don't think they do that in Glasgow though (thats where I'm wanting to go). I'll have to see how my exams go in the next month to see what my choices are. :p I still have to see if I get the job. :p

    Turning your book passion into an occupation

    I am in the middle of applying for my first potential job - a librarian. Well, a summer assistant in a library. :o I really want this job, but I have no previous experience and lack in the confidence department. I also have to ask 2 of my teachers to be referees since I have no previous...

    When is your prime reading time?

    Whenever I go to bed, which is somewhere between 11pm and 12pm on school nights and on weekends anywhere from 10pm to 2am. In the summer (and winter) holidays it can be anything. I can choose to read all day and night if I want (with sleep squeezed in somewhere). In school I sometimes get to...

    Questions Regarding Your Reading...

    I started with a speed of 330 and finished with 405. I thought the excercises were a little crazy and confusing. :p I don't usually try for speed when I'm reading a book. I like to take my time with some books so I can fully understand what is happening and remember details more. I have been...

    What should you be doing?

    Now that I've finished my practice sheet for tomorrow I really should be tidying up my pencils and water colours and organising my art folder for tomorrows exam... but I'm not. I should be reading too... not sure why I'm not. :confused:

    Funny stories about books

    The only story about a book I can think of at the moment is about a school textbook... A couple of my friends and I were out walking by a river one day after school (near the end of term just before summer) and one of them starts looking in his bag for something. He pulls out his chemistry...

    How often do you read?

    Definately every day. I try to get at least an hour done every day, but at the moment I struggle for even that (big exams in a few weeks). I'm looking forward to the holidays when I can just sit around the house all day with a good book. :)

    Recently Purchased/Borrowed

    Today I picked up a copy of Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary or Why Can't Anybody Spell? from Music Zone today for £1.97. Also bought another manga, Fruits Basket volume 8. :) That brings my unread book pile to just over 60. :confused:

    Page Number Check

    I only check the page numbers occasionally to see if I've skipped ahead a page, but thats generally when I feel the page is too thick to be one or what I'm reading doesn't make sense. I always check how many pages the book is when I start. I never, ever read the last page, and if I...

    Library

    We've always had an hour time limit here, but what really helped me get around this was getting my own computer. ;) But, if you can't get your own, try leaving and coming back later in the day to get on again if no ones around. And if it's not busy and a computer isn't in use and it doesn't...

    Calling All Agents And Publishers

    I am worried. An "autobiographic novel" may need some knowledge of yourself, but your profile states this: :confused:

    Bookstore name

    I think there was a hair salon in the movie Blue Brothers called that. :p I think a pun would be good for a name. There's a wool shop close to where I live called 'Drop in for a Yarn'. I can't really think of anything at the moment which would suit an English book shop in Sweden. All I...

    What do you do.......

    The only "work" I actually do is homework as I'm in highschool. I've never had a part time job, but I am jealous of my friend who is a part time librarian. I have no wish to have a job right now as my exams are in... 5 or 6 weeks and I have stuff I should be doing in preparation. As for money...
