woohoo!!!! we have a title! i really like that one too. i honestly wasn't fond of the other one, but well ... um ... didn't want to make you feel bad. Ouroboros ... now there's a book I'd pick up if only to figure out what the title meant. keep typing, Sal ... whatcha doing on here anyway? *big grins*
going to try to start reading Canal Dreams by Iain Banks in the next few days. It's the shortest of the books I have at present and looks really interesting. Thanks for all the recent recommendations from people as well. If you finish a book, try writing a little blurb about it to let people know how it was.
The Long Ships by Frans G Bengtsson, "one of Sweden's greatest writers". An everyday saga of Viking folk.
don't tell me the ending :tongue: i can't get this just yet, and i just know that it's all going to be spoiled. in fact, i'm sure someone will probably (or rather should probably) post a thread about it in this very forum and i may decide to not read that thread until i get to read the book.
i'll try. bit tight on cash (as per usual) at the moment though. and well i have to go see the Simpsons this week.
I'm thinking of avoiding the Internet, TV and newspapers, and wearing earplugs whenever I walk around town until I've read the book. Our local Borders was cleaned out yesterday apart from two copies of some special edition going for 35 quid, haha.
No books left to read. no money for the one expensive shop with English books and the library closes a half-day on Wednesday. HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!
there's a thread somewhere in here about a Book Swap. didn't seem anyone was interested though, apart from Me and Mr. Matthews. *pouts* I know, I know ... I have really lame books to swap.
