h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's not the same tho is it? You need the experience of turning pages and having a book to hold, on-line just doesn't do it..and you cant take an online book in the bath!

To Kill a Mockingbird just turned up in the post - and now I want to read it - it's just sitting there with its cool black funky cover and looking at me!!!

Ljx

LEAVE IT !!!!!

ok then

LJx

its not fair i havent got mine

I haven't got Catcher in the Rye yet tho...

My Mocking Bird cover was from the film..I tried to buy it cheap but you can only get it full price.
I always fancied working in a bookshop or library when I was younger but I don't think I wold ever get any work done at all! I decided I was too noisy to be a librarian..altho I really am quite quiet ,shy and retiring underneath..

!!!

I am honest...

I'd be too noisy to be a librarian too!!

i too wanted to be a librarian cos i wanted a stamp - a friend bought me one at my previous job and i stamped everything - how sad is that - librarians have to train for 7 years you know ( well they used to )
see more trivia for you

Ah, well I always thought if I worked in a post-office I could have a stampy thing just as good!!

Ljx

its a power thing isnt it
goes without saying that i am too noisy to be a librarian i think

I still do want to be a librarian..perhaps when I get fed up with teaching I can change tack!

maybe a coffee shop that sold books - that would allow you to make a noise!!

LJx

yeah maybe - i would love to work in borders in oxford - cept they are open til late at night and they get all the ragged folk in on their way to the churchyard and they arent very nice - coffee is good there too

I think libraries get their share of ragged people too tho!!

There was alovely bookshop near where I grew up, allwooden floors and a rickety staircase up to the childrens section. Getting a booktoken for my birthday was just the best present. My bookclub chums gave me a Borders tiken for £60 lasy year to celebrate my big 40 and it was so lovely spending it.

yeah sure do and i didnt mean that to sound uncaring or unsympathetic cos i am caring and sympathetic its just i am easily scared and oxford does seem to have more than its share of scary people

I've got a 10 quid waterstones token in my purse and I was tempted to go and spend it but Oxford is just a total zoo - thousands of furriners cluttering up the pavement - so I got some lunch, a couple of t-shirts and came back...but I will return..
