I've just read your debut in The Post today with a review of Angela's Ashes and Tis..Congratulations and I hope that your reviews become a regular read...
...However having read Angela's Ashes and Tis many times I feel that the book was not given as in depth review as they deserved. So rather than post my scrutinous (is that even a word? ) comments at the bottom of the article, I am here to ask if I can join and put my comments to good use!!
I love to read and I get through alot of books, so if you'll have me I would love to share some of them with you!

Hi!! Fame at last
We'd love you to post your own reviews. The reason the review today was a bit skimpy was because it was a new idea, and we panicked a bit to get it out in time. Hopefully the quality will improve in time.

..mmmmm...
Thanks for the welcome, I don't know why I didn't realise you were all here before!! What a great club!!
I'm one of these people who buy a book to read with my lunch and end up being so engrossed that I stay up until the early hours finishing it!
I look forward to reading other peoples reviews!!
Would you like to share my ?

It's normal to read a book without stopping isnt' it? you wouldn't stop half way through a film would you?

People can talk to me when I watch television, but reading? Forget it!!!
For you!

Don't! My Dad's so fed up with me getting engrossed in books and not talking! I don't know why, he should be glad of the peace and quiet!

My only weakness! I can't read in the car or on a because it makes me feel
I tried to read in the bath once, but no matter how much you dry your hands the steam makes the book soggy
I was reading a book called 'Rich man, Poor man' on the train on my way to work a few years ago, and it's quite a hefty book...
As my arms were aching I rested the book on the top of one the headrests and continued reading...
It was only when the train stopped at the next station a chap slowly moved my book away as said 'I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm getting off at the next stop and my head was starting to get sore'
*furious* from me and profuse aplogising!! Everyone laughed, I didn't even realise that I'd rested it on his head!!

I've perfected the technique of reading in the shower
