Anyone care to join me and spacedonkey for a reading?
That's a reading in private without lips moving and a discussion online?

Hmmm?

Any takers?

SL - you have inspired me with an idea for a new thread!

SorenLorensen · 01/04/2006 16:10

I gave up on Possession.

SorenLorensen · 01/04/2006 16:10

I thank you, Ms Wong Smile

No, have never been arsed to read it (have seen the film, racking my brains now as to whether there were any scenes in Whitby)

Think I'm all vampired out for now - just finished "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. I may butt in and offer smart arse comments even though I haven't read it for about 15 years though.

huzzah!

Love Whitby! I shall get it out and dust it off, if I get chance...

jet (sigh) I love jet jewellery (my engagement ring is a black jet teardrop gold ring that we bought in Whitby seveal years ago). Can't be bothered with dying my hair black or wearing lots of eyeliner though!

that's what I've got, IJ, and I bought it in Whitby Smile.

(don't go thinking I'm one of those goths wandering round the jet shops with too much eyeliner and brown roots showing through black hair though).

ItalianJob · 01/04/2006 15:26

hmmmm if I read it again I'll want to go to Whitby, but I don't suppose that's really a major disadvantage per se. Count me in, I hope they still do cheap wordsworth type £1.50 versions!

Yes that is fine
glad to see you have cottoned on to who is actually in charge here, spacedonkey may try to usurp my power over the course of this thread but you know who's really the boss Wink

get it off the shelf and read it again!

We won't allude to Gary Oldman or, the very pretty but very wooden, Keanu.

do join us, we are planning to get in synch by both being on chapter 2 by Monday

oooh, I'll be watching this one. I read it a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it (mostly Smile). It is v atmospheric.
