I think I have the hair for it. I don't brush it until I get to work, so when I stop at the cafe to get my coffee on the way, in my oversized sophia loren-esque style sunglasses and possibly in need of ironing clothes, I expect I project the very picture of dissolution and degeneracy, when really I've gone to bed by 8:30 with a book and many cats in a purring fur puddle.Mad Cat Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09940290694429568842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-63966159026229890472009-09-13T03:43:08.387-07:002009-09-13T03:43:08.387-07:00Throw in annoying children and it's hell on ea...Throw in annoying children and it's hell on earth with a well stocked shelf...Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-80681211843691731132009-09-13T01:16:25.409-07:002009-09-13T01:16:25.409-07:00Deep Forest and Kathy Lette (shudder) - there'...Deep Forest and Kathy Lette (shudder) - there's a hellish duo for you!Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339738475389037569.post-84487505778673030472009-09-11T17:57:05.354-07:002009-09-11T17:57:05.354-07:00I only ever buy non fiction, Dan Brown has put me ...I only ever buy non fiction, Dan Brown has put me off novels for life I'm afraid...<br /><br />I only read books where I can learn something.

Main reason is money. Most of the stuff is just so expensive that sometimes its easier to borrow it from the public library.G. B.
