hmm.. i'm 55, i've been reading since i could... i can read a slim book in a matter of hours, a thick one in a few days, and there's never been a time in my life where i have not read books.. there's no way i could even guess at how many..

at this stage of my life, i read purely for entertainment..

i tend to keep every book i bring into the house, regardless of whether i will ever read it again.. altho i do re-read, and i know there are lots in there i could enjoy again. sometimes i'll take a few to a book exchange or second hand store and come home with as many as i left with, or more...

Australian petrol prices are currently going through the roof! i've heard of up to $AU1.70 a -litre- altho i only paid $AU1.51 a litre yesterday where i am.. i'm only glad my husband's company pays for his petrol, or he couldn't afford to drive to work...

A Song of Ice and Fire - George R R Martin.. and i am waiting for the next one... waiting..... Robin Hobb's Farseer Series comes in as a close second...

last books purchased: His Dark Materials trilogy, bought after watching the Golden Compass movie.. Robin Hobb's Forest Mage (already had the first in this series), Dragon Master (omnibus edition of this trilogy) by Chris Bunch, and Ken Follet's World Without End, because i remember enjoying...

well.. it was 'obscure' to me.. Stephen Leigh's book, A Quiet of Stone, which i have since found out is the last book in his Neweden series: Slow Fall to Dawn, Dance of the Hag, and A Quiet of Stone. i will be looking out for the first two books now.
