Help me make a list of books that I might like to receive for christams....

[popsycal]

Popsy, are you thinking 'I wish www would shut the f* up'?! I am off to watch a film now, don't worry!

John Irving - a prayer for owen Meany - vg

albosmum - that is my fave all time book
ww - i really appreicate it!!!!!!thanks!

i love these book threads

me too!!!

has anyone ever thought of having a 'book swap'?
i ahev shelves of books and will probably only read a few of them again....

If you haven't read it already The Remains of the Day is my all time favourite book

i havent - but i think it might be on a shelf somewhere....perhaps

I think there was a book swap a while back

I'd certainly be up for some swapping

I mihgt trawl through the shelves and see what i have - i do know that i have two copies of -enduring ove- = one which i am in the middle of reading and one that is not going to be read....

I'd be up for a swap too, I've only got a couple of books hanging around just now as I tend to move them on quickly after reading them.

cool......go off and look at your book cases....
are we bothered about the condition of the books?
shall we say if it isnt in 'near new' condition....

Funnily enough Enduring Love is one that I have to offer too!

I want to read enduring love, so I'll post a list on here later when I've trawled the shelves.

OK, didn't take me long I've got:-

Enduring Love by Ian McEwan, I bought it secondhand, it has been read a few times but is clean and in reasonable condition.

The Tesseract by Alex Garland, bought secondhand too, read a few times but in clean and reasonable condition.

Lucky by Alice Sebold (am reading this at the moment so will need a few days to finish it), secondhand as well, edges of the pages slightly yellowed but it feels like I am the first person to actually read it, clean and good condition.

well off the top of my head I've got Foucault's Pendulum for a start!

also got :

Word Freak by Stefan Fatsis (amusing tale about professional scrabble players)

Love Is Where It Falls by Simon Callow (signed!)

will go and check shelves downstairs for more
