I look at the Memberlist more or less regularly.

Today I'm surprised. Only 48 members!! Yesterday we had 49 members.
So someone left the forum. That's sad.

I would like to know the reason for this.

Wow ... you really are keeping on top of things my friend )

I'm thinking of starting a new post on books made into film ... Just watched 'The Water Horse' adapted from Dick King Smith's childrens book. I sobbed!!!! It was soooo cute, but brought up really deep issues considering it's a 5-8 years age book.

Another book I've just read is 'Firmin' by Sam Savage (Fiction book, hence off topic) about the importance of small independent bookshops, the personal history, and also those readers that frequent them. You gotta love a rat that loves books eh?! And one that cries about those he's ruined and lost ... sob. One of the best books I've read for yonks!

Mmmm... yet, that's still fantasy yes? because he's a rat that loves literature? yet, merchandised in the Fiction section of UK Bookshops.

I suppose I should start two new thread ... books to film ... and ... off topic books ... but it'll have to wait till tomorrow night. I'm bushwacked and need some shut-eye.

This reader is still here :O) So, no leavers please, and lurkers we'd be happy for a chin-wag ) That is, lots of chats.

Every time when I enter the form I look first at the Memberlist. Yes, I'm nosy.....

Please start your post about books made into film. My first thought was LORD OF THE RINGS..........

To be honest I read Firmin in summer last year and I liked it.

Did you read The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon?
This is one of the best books I read in my life. And it is also fiction.

Anyway I was happy to read your post. And as I told you there will be more time for postings after 6th of February

Hey Edifanob,

Likewise, I've little time just now. But, I'm thinking up all sorts of threads to start ... so I'll leave it a week.

I had noticed you say it is one of your favourite books ever ... and I do have a copy still unread. One of those ones that got shelved and forgotten until recently. I'll get there eventually )

Hi wend,

the only thing I can say is: please read The Shadow of the WInd. You won't be sorry.
