Very cool!! I love books so much!!! I dunno how many we've got but I'd say at least 1000 or so! All over the place! I eat them! Hehe! And yes Sheila, this one is pretty cool, fascinating even! I love mysteries and ancient secrets and stuff like that! ;) Doug, it would be cool to know what ur book's about!? Joseph, that top magazine seems very interesting! A scary subject! Pat&Damia, cool collection u're having there! Ted, did u say mystery??? Oooooh! I love the sound of that! Joe, I totally love National Geographic!! As for the comic books, are they collectors? Sheila, Tolkien, King, Castaneda, Harris, yes! Love all of them too! Nikki, I just love that wallpaper!! It's actually the first thing that stroke me when I saw ur pic: how cosy this room is!!! It reminds me of my Grandma's house!! I love it! As for all the classical, I've read them a long time ago and just can't be bother with them anymore! I find them very boring! I still love Balzac and Zola mostly and Rimbaud.

LOL!!! Sounds kinda creepy! ;)

LOL@Jack!! I know the feeling!! ;) Cool collection u're having here!! I love sci-fi!

Those Narnia Chronicles sound very interesting to me!! Gonna have to have a look at this! I'm not a fan of Hermann Hesse I must say! And yea, the Alchemist by Coelho is a pretty cool book!

hahahahaha. l know lm old... but ermmm a grandmother hopefully is years off.. dunno what to say.. maybe will wear a little grey bun .. in 20 years time sighes...

I was talking about the wallpaper silly!! LOL!!!

Yes, you must check out those Chronicle books! Also I am not a big fan of Hermann Hesse either, but that's what I am reading at the moment. Interesting enough though, and I am about 2/3 the way through so I have to finish it now...

p.s think you meant struck me instead of stroke me tibet.. you stroke a cat and as for boredom .. well sorry is you find it so... rarely suffer boredom life is just a universe to explore

Oh! Struck it is then I guess! From strike! I find it striking! U see?
As for boredom and the universe to explore, I DID explore the classics in litterature and that's WHY I find it boring now! I would never say that something is boring before I actually try it! But this is a matter of taste, of course!

Oh and yea Jeffrey, I do that too, if I start a book I have to finish it not matter how boring I may find it! LOL! Do u think it has to do with obsessive-compulsive disorder??? LOL! Just kidding! ;) And Charles, Photoshop magazine huh! It seems like u're doing ur homework! ;)

Oh boy! We know who to pester about Photoshop now, don't we?

OMG!!! That was a dumb thing to do if u ask me!! Geez!! O_o And that book is from 1944!! Oh man!! Do NOT sell that one huh!!! U're having a 'lil treasure here!! I buy books sometimes that are totally unreadable (old bibles or church stuff) only because they're very old! (1700-1800's). I have about 2 of these and even though I would never read that, I treasure them! They're pieces of art!! Joseph, I hear ya!! Good to know huh! ;)

@cryptojoe: If you try and bother me about Photoshop, I'll bother you next time my car breaks down - LOL

ROFLMAO!!!!

LOL@Charles!! I'm afraid it's too late dear! U should have NEVER shown us that magazine! ;P

Jeff, i LOVE Herman Hesse!! If you haven't read Siddhartha by him, you HAVE to!! It's lighter reading than his others i think! I really think it has something to do with us being born on the same day! LOL! I've only got a few more pages to finish The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. I LOVE to read...just not much time so i read at a snail's pace now! Damia (welcome aboard BTW) & Jack...i see you're both sci-fi fans!!! whoo-hoo! Nikki, i LOVE so many of the authors you mentioned!!!!! I've never heard of William Horwood though. Pascale, we have similar tastes in so many things! i do love the classics though. but i read so much of that my whole life. i used to keep a wish list of books i wanted to read. it was 5 single-spaced typed pages. LOL! life is too short! Joe...hang onto that book! I LOVE National Geographic BTW! i used to subscribe to soooo many magazines...Utne Reader, Nat. Geo., Discovery, etc. Now i just read Nat. Geo. online. no time anymore. well, we do get Popular Science & read that one. cool thread Pascale! i used to collect books too. i ended up giving most of them away because we moved from our house to a tiny apt. ah well, that's life!

Ah yes Sheila, I like classics too, some of them, but I don't read them anymore as I read too many of them and find them kinda boring now! I too used to have a list of the books I wanted to read! Now I have a list of the books that I've read and there's actually 15 pages full so far! ;) I read Siddharta but it was a long time ago and maybe I should read it again!

Pascale...Actually I think I may have Obsessive Book Disorder. I admit sometimes I will not finish a book...like Moby Dick. I must finish it! Sheila...Thanks. I just made a note to get myself a copy of Siddhartha. I am now very curious and must read it! I'll let you know when I do this... Also if you don't have much time maybe you should read like a rabbit instead of at a snails pace. Just kidding. Sorry, I couldn't resist saying that :-) -Jeff :-) p.s. I am a sci-fi fan too.

yeah, Pascale...i know what you mean...i've so many of them too, and i'm verrry picky about what i read now 'cause i don't have much time. 15 pages!!! You go girl! i usually HAVE to finish every book i start too. Hmmm!!! Moby Dick...that's the exception. i never finished it. i KNOW it's a classic and supposed to be awesome but i just found it boring. i hate to admit it. Jeff, Read like a Rabbit!!! LOL! Did you know kemal's nickname for me is "Bunny", "Bunny Rabbit," or "Rabbit?" LOL! i would LOVE to read more and to read faster, but i'm SPINNING in this world as it is!!!! i rarely sleep more than 6 hours a night...usually less. just not enough time for everything. sigh. Hope you'll like Siddhartha!!
