Book Talk » Binge-reading a particular author » Just with a few authors
eefa 18 yrs ago
I've done this with a few authors like Chaim Potok, Jane Austen, Philip Kerr. However I do try to read at least 1 book between each book of the author that I'm currently binging on. Haven't done it for a while (possibl…
Book Talk » Do books make you cry, and if so what was the last book to make you do so? » A Sunday Afternoon Around the Pool in Kigali
eefa 18 yrs ago
Movies and books rarely make me cry. Can count on one hand the sum total either has made me cry. However, I cried finishing "A Sunday Afternoon Around the Pool in Kigali". I've read other harrowing books before but so…

Yikes! The longest I'm ever reading nothing is a few hours between finishing one book and starting another. Just feels wrong to not have some book on the go!

Not only was it the first time I'd played but it was the first time since secondary school (over 15 years ago) that I'd taken part in a team sport, and a league. Great fun!

This is an old book, published in the '60s but it's got rich characaters and a story line with plenty of twists. Over 600 pages. Definately recommend it!

Fabulous story. A story that leaves you wondering what the story actually is. Lots of changes of direction achieved in a brilliant manner. And great, rich characters.

eefa 18 yrs ago
I've read all Jane Austen's books twice, with Pride & Prejudice having been read 8 or 9 times. And My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok. But very few other books get read twice - too many books, too little time!

eefa 18 yrs ago
I spent 6 weeks travelling around those 4 countries in November/December 2000. It was fantastic. The best holiday I've had to date. Namibia just blew me away - it is absalutely beautiful! It's vast. Etosha is just a…

eefa 18 yrs ago | 3 replies
I do if I read a novel by an author that is totally different to anything I've read before. Something that just opens a whole new world to me. And it's not just the story but the style of writing that needs to appeal. …

Dog person. No question. They're friendly, funny, cantankerous among other things. But they're always there for you!

eefa 19 yrs ago
I have an old Amazon bookmark that I got when I bought a book from there in '99. It has a quote that I love on it by Erasmus. "When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." I may n…
