I bought "Thumper's Adventures" or some shit like that for my niece. she is till about a month and two weeks from being born and a bit longer before she can read, but Ive got her library started. Got The giving tree, hungry hungry caterpillar, I'll love you forever and A medieval feast. the book wishlist I created for her is big already. when Im done with her baby shower and birthday I will start buying books again.. I told her mom that instead of getting her videos of characters, I wanted her to get books. I think TV rots kids brains from an early age. ADD my ass.
Well I recently stole "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez... I think the last two books I actually paid for were "Stanley Kubrick: The Complete Films" and Steven Pinker's "The Stuff of Thought"
I was brought up to believe stealing is wrong. Yet I have stolen many books. My favourite steal was Enduring Love.
Just ordered The General in his Labyrinthe by Gabriel Garcia Marquez for my Dad's birthday and an anthology of debut fiction because it contains the first chapter of my new novel and my granny wanted a copy. Awww....
I got Steal This Movie for one pound, which was almost a steal, only I still haven't got round to watching it, so in essence Tesco stole from me....
Well for school I bought some classics, "Utopia", "Candide" etc, but the last ones I bought on my own were "Manson, in His Own Words" and "Lamb, The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal"
i bought a side ways look at time for a bit of brain activity and i bought the owl who was scared of the dark for a bit of a regression to childhood. plop the owl! so cute!!!
I love that book It was the first book I could read all the way through on my own.* In many ways it shaped my whole outlook on life. *I was 27 years old
Black Elk Speaks great book and is really great if u want to really learn of the ways of the Lakota . it helped me to elighten my soul and see that i really do follow the red road
Collin's Complete British Trees ...but it got wet in my rucksack and now the pages are all stuck together, so I'll have to buy it again. mmfff.
I'm always scouting the charity shops... A Piano inthe Pyrenees by Tony Hawks Round Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks
Yay for books! My last: "Song of the Dodo: Island Biogeography in an Age of Extinction." Yeah, I'm a dork. Duck, how'd you like Arkham Asylum? I liked it a little less than I wanted to.
