What Are You Reading?

A "shirt trip?"

Are they cheaper in Spain?

Sorry!

I used to insist on proof-reading adverts for my stores, as our advertising department were useless at it.
They'd caused a bit of embarrassment in the past.

 

I once worked for a firm which posted internal vacancies on the staff noticeboard. One advertisement stressed the need for a self-motivated, flexible personality, able to work under pressure, handle numerous tasks at once etc etc and generally be a paragon of all known virtues for a salary which wouldn't keep a church mouse. At the bottom of the notice were the words 'shift allowance'. Unfortunately someone had missed the 'f' out of 'shift'. I like to think it was intentional.

 

Hi Alison,

I've just ordered it from Amazon. £3.99 and free delivery, thanks for that.

Dog.

 

I am reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (for the second time) and also a book called Beyond Chocolate which is a help book about eating properly.

 

I hope you enjoy it, it brings everything together! dont be put of by the size, its twice as big as the other 2!!!

 

I'm currently re-working my way through Terry Pratchett's Discworld series as I've read some before but I just can't remember where I got too:wink:

currently at the end of "Men at Arms"

 

I've always been a bit of a fan of Len Deighton, I recently re-read "Fighter" and "Bomber." The attention to detail and research that went into both was really impressive.

I also re-read his "Goodbye Micky Mouse."

 

Also a big fan of Terry Pratchett, especially the Withches and Wizards characters. So sad about the author's problemas with Altzheimers - however he seems to be managing well to date.

 

Snap! The man is a genius, especially his insight into how a village witch works:thmb: I have quite a few of first editions by him - it's become a tradition that my partner always gives me one for my birthday

 

I'm also a fan of Terry Pratchet, I'm currently reading 'unseen academicals'

 

Wow ... other Terry Pratchett fans, thought I was the only one older than 20 !! lol

Got all his books and can't wait for Christmas to get my Going Postal DVD and his latest book about Sky (the children need Christmas idea's.)

 

I'm another Pratchett fan - am up to date with all his current books (nearly finished) 'Unseen Academicals ' and loving it. And starting to work through his earlier books - though not so good as he was very young BUT the elements are there.

Axie - I've been desperate to ask someone - Am I the only one who can put current footballers faces to the artwork on the front cover. Please tell me you can see Beckham & Rooney in there at least! :gnthb::hehe:
