"I love mythology too, and comparative religion if I feel really bored. Just finished Andrew Marrs History of Modern Britain and am now rereading Coleen McCulloughs Masters of Rome series. But my heart belongs to sci-fi/fantasy." I really like Andrew Marr, missed him at the Hay Festival this year as we could not get parked would you believe it.. everywhere was so muddy! As far as comparative religion is concerned, that is another really interesting subject and it also feeds into other disciplines like psychology, philosophy etc. | |||

"I read all sorts. My bookshelves have everything from Ibsen plays, Shakespeare, poetry, and classic novels of all kinds, to Terry Pratchett, non-fiction texts on the Holocaust and serial killers, with a lot of feminist theory thrown in. Bit of a magpie reader really." Wow Ibsen? I always found him fascinating to read. Do you ever get rid of books ie sell them or do you treat them like something very precious and keep them forever.. (as I do ? | |||

(as I do ?"Oh god - getting rid of books is painful and I rarely do it - only when they are really, really past it and beyond saving. Not read Ibsen in quite a while. Thought Hedda Gabbler was good - but preferred Ghosts. I have Strindbergh too - and various others Shaw, O'Casey, Wycherley, Sheridan. I find Strindbergh to be a total misogynist but love the wit of Shaw better than Wilde. | |||

"I have only one book left from my childhood, sadly. I left home at 18 under a cloud and my father threw all my books away. My mum saved this one - it's Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi - the original story. Oh, tell a lie - and she saved the set of encyclopaedias we had - I have them on my shelf almost still in mint condition though very very dated - still talk about stuff from the old days of Empire. They got them in the 50s before I was born." I used to (and people will laugh and it will confirm to most that really I am weird....lol) I used to read Encyclopedias as a child. I would look up one word and then get so fascinated by some others.. that I got really engrossed at times. One good thing came out of that... my spelling was quite good and I often knew the meaning of so called difficult words when others did not. | |||

I was at a very old fashioned grammar school and we had to learn Latin for 7 years so we even had to learn Latin poems by heart. Can you imagine that being on the curriculum in today's world? It would be considered cruelty to children | |||

Conn Igguldens Emperor books about Ceasar are superb" You'd like the Masters of Rome series then. Fiction based on fact about the history of the Roman Republic from 110bc to 27bc. Very interesting, lots of sex and murder. | |||

" If you like encyclopaedias then you'd probably like Brewers Phrase and Fable. Its a reference book for sayings and things like that. Or the Etymologicon, which is the meanings behind certain words. Thanks Wyrd, I'll keep an eye out for those - though I've been trying to stop myself spending so much time reading - wasting valuable shagging time...unless it's a crap shag and I can sneak me Kindle out while he's doing me from behind
As I travel to all my meets using public transport my kindle comes in very handy, especially if the real book is a 600 page tome. But I find myself actually neglecting fab (I Know *gasp*) when I am engrossed in a really good book."I actually envy you being able to get completely engrossed like that in a book.I am so easily distracted when reading,i pick it up ,put it down ,pick it up again.Very few books have gripped me so that i cant put them down,the last one was Fly for your life -The life of Robert Stanford Tuck. | |||

" I have a kindle but only to save me lugging loads of technical reference stuff around ,i prefer a real book for my non serious reading,but if you like kindle it must be great . " I only bought a Kindle as the majority of my luggage allowance was books (8 - 10 per weeks holiday) and I didn't think I'd like it at all, but it's so handy and as Wyrd says, you've potentially got a million books at your fingertips - still no chance I'll get rid of any of my "proper" books, even the ones I've got duplicated on the Kindle | |||

I was about 8 or 9 when I read Rats (pinched it from my Dad's bookshelf) and I couldn't sleep either - 48 and Portent are my other faves | |||

"Portent is a global warming/abusing the earth type disaster novel, but rings a chord for me...following is the cover synopsis, was released 1992... The last pages of Ash is possibly the best ever ending I've read... “The time is just a few short years from now. But already the signs of global disaster are multiplying. Freak storms, earthquakes, floods volcanic eruptions are sweeping the earth. The last violent spasms of a dying planet. Then a series of ominous events signal the emergence of new and terrifying forces. While scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef a diver watches fascinated as a tiny light floats past him towards the surface. Moments later he is torn to pieces as the reef erupts with shattering power. In Varansi on the banks of the Ganges a young boy pauses in his back-breaking labours, transfixed by the play of a mysterious light amidst the monsoon rains – before a towering geyser of boiling water bursts from beneath the streets to scald him into oblivion. In the Chinese city of Kashi travellers bring back reports of a strange light seen shining above the endless dunes of the Taklimakan Desert. And as the city’s inhabitants watch for its return the desert rises up like a vast living thing to engulf them in a colossal tidal wave of sand. All have seen a portent. A sign of unimaginable powers about to be unleashed. A sign that something incredible is about to begin.” (Synopsis taken from cover)" That sounds awesome. He does write an amazing epic when he puts the time into it. I like the supernatural style sci-fi disasters too. Have you read Stephen King's 'Cell' at all? Two guys and a kid survive a supposed terrorist attack through a phone virus that strips away peoples' humanity when they hear a message their phones ring through and turns them into mindless psychopaths. One guy has to travel home cross country knowing that his baby boy has a phone and has most probably answered the phone call already. Freaky and tragic in only the way King knows | |||
