The town library has one book case for kids, and the school about what yours had - I was hungry for books - I have a whole room full of books, two boxes of unreads - and these are now spilling out onto an old desk I have - and I love being in this roomMiddle Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962830669606760640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-19987558385183764492011-01-20T23:04:17.275+11:002011-01-20T23:04:17.275+11:00What?

For ...I buy books just because they're unusual. For instance there's: The History of the YWCA, which I found at Footscray Savers. I got a lot of strange books there. Unfortunately they're now savvy to this sort of book and are holding them back. It's the same with everything else there. <br />The non-literary Laverton trash market, dirty old burg, is about the last good place for a bargain. I bought 'Vital Connections' there (history of the Board of Works) just as a novelty, and found it fascinating. <br />My first little book was called: The Taxi That Hurried.R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-72786230894357055322011-01-18T20:13:24.034+11:002011-01-18T20:13:24.034+11:00"...it's a book that can only be read onc..."...it's a book that can only be read once."<br /><br /><b>You're being way too generous there, Witchy.</b>Brian Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350965110160879688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-81490386327772696922011-01-18T20:07:23.061+11:002011-01-18T20:07:23.061+11:00Jayne, funny that, I have two bags full of books f...Jayne, funny that, I have two bags full of books for you. Picaninny Walkabout is so cringeworthy now and I remember being so disappointed that it wasn't a big book.<br /><br />Kath, it's really terrible, I can't do any exercise, I'm gutted.<br />I am moving the entire house around in little bits between chapters. It's called the 'think then move' method.<br /><br />River, we have the same tastes but not in authors. I love John Connelly (not Micheal) who writes a very dark mythological murder mystery. I have three books and will get the fourth about the 'Happy Valley' crowd in Kenya. All different authors but biographies of the main players then I'll read them together. Gives a better feel for the time and were they into the sex, drugs and booze.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-87166389975436490012011-01-18T19:31:05.452+11:002011-01-18T19:31:05.452+11:00You need a "Book Seat".

I'll email you the picture I took of it. <br /><br />I remember my first couple of paychecks were spent on knickers and socks and for the first time in my life I had enough. No more wash one set while wearing the other. <br /><br />I prefer murder mystery forensic fiction to books about jewellery and stuff. Historical novels I like too, as long as there's a story entwined with the history lesson.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-71610032663397559812011-01-18T17:33:19.827+11:002011-01-18T17:33:19.827+11:00I hope your toe gets better soon - best excuse to ...I hope your toe gets better soon - best excuse to slake that book hunger of yours!Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-33486793040500447282011-01-18T17:27:47.314+11:002011-01-18T17:27:47.314+11:00I have a shedload to share with you, soonish, get ...I have a shedload to share with you, soonish, get reading!<br />*looks at Picaninny Walkabout and The Queen's Visit on the bookshelves in the loungeroom*Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851305238478213940noreply@blogger.com
