I actually enjoyed the Twilight Saga.
I'm a non-fiction reader so here's the list that keeps me busy.
Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
The Black Swan: Second Edition: The Impact of the Highly Improbable: With a new section: "On Robustness and Fragility"
Assholes Finish First … Read more
Rolly Pollys are a type of bug also known as Isopods, Pillbugs and Sow Bugs. Naturally, they live in the soil but can also be kept in a large, clear container or a shoe box. Make sure there are plenty of ventilation holes in the container to ensure there is plenty of oxygen for them … Read more
I've always had huge reading lists because of my studies and so don't get a lot of time to read for myself, however when I do get the occasional chance, I love to read fashion books. Biographies are my very favourite and I have recently enjoyed Coco Chanel: The life and the Legend. Others worth … Read more
I would agree that I am a little disappointed with the current series of Doctor Who. I have always enjoyed the stories of what the doctor gets up to and out of, however there is a clear difference between the writers. I have always enjoyed the episodes by Steven Moffat,
That's reassuring, I was begining to fell like a traitor. My husband says that by the 3rd or 4th episode with a new companion, the pace and chemistry should be established and flow. With that quota in mind I am having trouble being optimistic this season. I was crushed when Amy and Rory left, in … Read more
Spend an afternoon discovering interesting shops in Greenwich village, there are many cool things to see there. Brooklyn is super trendy now, with small independent stores opening up all the time. Try to check out some of these off the beaten path type things. I went to the Chelsea Hotel, just to get a photo, … Read more
Hey Kim, I notices you like Crime novels. May I suggest Henning Mankell, a great author that Mel mentioned in her answer to this question. It's excellent storytelling, and you can also check out the series on Swedish TV.
Oh I have dropped plenty of books in the tub, I am left with a bookshelf full of water damaged novels! Hardcover books w/out the cover and the spine held together with packing tape. And I refuse to part with them, they're so precious to me. I am the type to just look at a … Read more
Yes, Bridget Jones Diary was a great "bathtub read". I turned into a wrinkly water logged prune while reading that book in the tub. That and The Witch Of Cologne by Tobsha Learner, a fantastically naughty read. Oops, that's kind of TMI!
I love Mankell! I was so pleasantly surprised with the Swedish TV drama, which are excellent.
I read anything, and everything, to the point where, if there's nothing else to read in the room, I'll even read the back of a cereal packet.
However, when I studied for my degree in English literature, I was required to read almost everything that had been written in English from the 13th Century to … Read more
I don't think I really have any literary guilty pleasures — I'm not embarrassed to like any of the books that I do.
I'm doing a degree in English Literature with Creative Writing, and sometimes, for the first class of the semester, the tutor will ask everybody about the last book they read.
I'm ninety-nine percent … Read more
Wow, you picked some awesome covers. I remember the first time I saw the London Calling album cover. I was a teenager in the 1990's, and it was epic.
Gosh, the best album cover of all time? That's a toughie, so I may have to cheat and choose a top five, or maybe even ten!
It's a great question, though, as I really miss being able to see cover artwork on the scale of a 12" album cover - tiny CD covers just aren't … Read more
Absolutely Paul, and the pity is it really has no outstanding effects. We, the US, have such high healthcare costs, not because we are handing out free care. It's because the COST of the care is so high. You get minimal care for maximum price.
I used to love going to the library, in the days when you were expected to be quiet while you were there!
That's why I also loved academic libraries, with their little reading nooks, where you could stay tucked away in a corner - almost all night, if you chose, reading any of the thousands … Read more
That's an amazing book fort!
