Seriously, give me a bookshop to wander through and I am the happiest I have ever been.

Who else loves books?

What was the last book you read?

Any book recommendations?

I spend hours in bookshops and charity shops.

The last few books I've read have all been very dry criminology tomes for my dissertation, apart from The Handmaid's Tale that got another reading as I was watching the TV series.

Just a teeny bit...

The last book I read was The Heart Goes Last. So perfectly Atwood.

And the next one will be whatever I choose when I go down to Ely next weekend.

The last book I read (finished last night) is Holding Up The Universe by Jennifer Niven- really lovely YA book.

I like books, I love to read.

For in they mind they plant a seed

and worlds sprout forth, adventure blooms.

Crossing oceans, raiding tombs.

(and all whilst curled up in my chair

I'm rescuing a maiden fair)

I think that it is safe to say.

Books made me who I am today.

I love books too - if anyone's ever stuck for something to buy for me I'd be delighted to get a book. I've got several thousand littering my house - the bookshelves are all double stacked, then there are piles of books on the table, by my bed, under the bed, in my wardrobe etc. If and when I win the lottery I want a big house for the library potential so I can sort them all out properly at long last.

I am, however, exceptionally ashamed to say that I don't read as much as I used to. I've got a couple of books 'on the go' at the moment, both non fiction - one about London, the other about railways - but lately Fab and the forums have been too much of an easy distraction when I've got a little spare time. Not that this has stopped me buying new ones - I've got at least 200 unread books waiting at the moment ....

I have never read read a story book in my life. Saying that, I have read hundreds of text books on maths, science, humanities, religion, engineering and electronics. Not sure its the same thing. Maybe that's why I struggle writing dissertations for degrees.

I'm currently reading Jerusalem by Alan Moore. It's an epic. About 20% of the way through at the moment and I have no idea what it's all about but I'm enjoying every word of it.

David Mitchell (cloud atlas) is awesome.

The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is a really good fantasy.

Zen & The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance is a book that really did change my life.

And Hitchhiker's Guide is a must read for anybody.

Smith's Courtney series and Egyptian series are epic... Both have huge appeal for me.

Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino are my favorite bromance lol, and I love how Cussler shamelessly gives himself cameo appearances in his own books

God yes, the smell of a second hand bookshop. Anyone ever been to Strand Books on Broadway? The smell knocks you over, think of the biggest Tesco you've been in and ram it with books on shelves that need ladders for the top tiers. They advertise it as 8 miles of books. If I lived there I'd never go to the pub again I reckon.

Love books and book shops and have a gradually increasing collection of poetry.

I can't remember what I read last... I tend to read in bursts, several books in quick succession and then nothing for a while.

I have a fondness for crime fiction but read almost anything except romance. Particularly like Jo Nesbo and Mark Billingham at the moment.

"I cant get on with a kindle. I need to turn the pages over plus you dont have the same feel or smell of paper as you read"

I know what you mean. I miss real books, but since I often read two a week and supply is limited in the middle east, Ebooks are my only choice.

One huge problem: The footnotes in Terry Pratchett's books (possibly the best parts) lose all their charm when you have to click a link.

"Tell a lie...

The last book I read was The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena. I think I read it in one evening.

NO SPOILERS!!!

Is it good though? I have an hour on Wednesday with nothing to do, stuck in the middle of nowhere and that is the book I am taking with me to read

"

I enjoyed it but did guess the "twist in the tale".

Enjoy

The unbearable lightness of being.

The first 2 pages got me and I've just stuck with it.

Pre this I was reading Stephen Frys books... but there was something about them that seemed almost like they were excersizes in writing rather than a need to express something.

"I'm a complete bibliophile

mainly for American history and art history but I do like biographies too..

the last book I read was Set the boy free by Johnny Marr although I wouldn't recommend it

"

It's rubbish when a book disappoints

"Just finished Ready Player One... Great book.

I'm getting severely impatient for George R R Martin to finish the next installment if a Song of Fire and Ice... "

Me too! And thanks to the net I'm going to find out how the series might end if the show has the same ending as the book! I'm wondering if he's finished both books but is keeping it under wraps until Winds is released

The only 'problem' with books is not having enough of them.

Although not having enough time for them is also a problem.

"I'll probably be burned as a heretic, but since I travel so much I switched to ebooks years ago.

I think I have tens of thousands stored in the cloud now and a Kindle unlimited account.

I read on my phone and I love that I always have a book handy. Great for those times you have to sit and wait for something; I don't mind at all any more! "

I love my Kindle and i also use my phone if iv not got my Kindle with me. I would need a mansion to store them if i still read paper books instead.

I shouldn't be allowed in bookshops, I can't be trusted in them. I went into an antique book shop in Cambridge having sworn I'd just look around. I came out with all seven volumes of Gibbon's Decline And Fall.

Only genre I've not been able to 'get into' is fantasy.

But other than that I will/have read anything. My favourites are classics, Victorian and crime mystery but I'll also read/have enjoyed biography, historical, travel, philosophical, literary, saga, condition of, fairy tale, comedy...and of course erotica - which is more difficult to write well than people appreciate I think.

Favourites are pride and prejudice and Rachel's holiday.

Closely followed by waterland and behind the scenes at the museum and wuthering heights.

3 years doing English at uni was heaven, hoping to do a masters at some point.

I use both hard copy and kindle. Favourites are in both formats so I can always read them wherever I am.
