Like ...Oooh, you know me and books! Love 'em.<br /><br />Like you, I always love to look at what books people have on TV programmes, and I do hate that the ubiquity of the Kindle these days stops me from seeing what other people on public transport or around the pool on holiday, are reading!<br /><br />Had a go with the site you linked, was a bit unimpressed, though, as I put in the last three books I've read and all it came up with was a list of other books by the same author. A similar idea is Lovereading website's Author 'like for like' recommendation, which I've found useful in the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-83869397769557844432013-08-15T22:03:23.518+01:002013-08-15T22:03:23.518+01:00oooohh SFT, great book.

Not a single book or magazine in the place. I find that odd and strange.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-17985655485141911112013-08-15T21:20:54.877+01:002013-08-15T21:20:54.877+01:00Teaching children to read is a great privilege and...Teaching children to read is a great privilege and I love giving them reading time at school and seeing what library book they've chosen to take home.<br /><br />And me? Learnt to read at 4 and haven't stopped. I love being part of another world.

Do you have a favourite word?<br /><br />Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-14635659141056795342013-08-15T08:57:08.701+01:002013-08-15T08:57:08.701+01:00Sol, it was the very same book!

All new names to me. Must investigate.<br /> <br />Btw: I don't like using Amazon since their tax evasion policies have become public knowledge, and they have become, like Starbucks and other big names, 'persona non grata'. But not using them does rather stymie one.<br /><br />Currently reading Alan Strachan's 'Sweet Dreams' - a biography of Michael Redgrave. Don't usually read that many factual books but I do enjoy life stories of those I know of and admire - and this is a biggie at 550+ pp.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-44590532810374090682013-08-14T18:01:11.248+01:002013-08-14T18:01:11.248+01:00Ray you crack me up. maybe it had a different jac...Ray you crack me up. maybe it had a different jacket picture?<br /><br />Toffeeapple reading is something fantastic. <br /><br />Oh Zephyr is a good one.

But, as one bookworm to another, you may be able to see from my profile where my reading tastes lie, which are really quite catholic.<br /><br />Btw: A couple of days ago I finished Michael Connelly's detective murder thriller 'The Narrows'. Can you believe that it was only when I'd got two-thirds through that I realised that I'd read it before - and as recently as 2011! LOL, yes, but also unforgivable! Shows how much attention I must have been giving it first time round.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.com
