Some of these books I've had for nearly 20 years. Some of them I've bought or been bought since I first picked up the Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett all those years ago.

Some of them I've had for years, forgotten that I own them and gone out and bought them again !!

I have a boring job - therefore my hobbies, pastimes & general activities tend to be a bit more exciting and competitive. Favourites are Football (The Beautiful Game - anyone who calls it soccer has issues !!), Squash & racing Gokarts as often as funds allow !!

My taste in books tends towards the same as well - either funny, exciting or filled with suspense. I do not like all the arty stuff loosely classified as "Modern Literature" - each to their own but I'd rather have my eyes pulled out and used as a pair of Orc's earrings than read some of the stuff that appears in the bestsellers list !!

I also get irrationally angry with people who use "text speak" in their daily lives. We have a perfectly good language that has served us handsomely for the last thousand years or so - we do NOT need to invent a new one just because people are too lazy to learn how to spell or use punctuation and grammar correctly !!
