Drawers were open left, right and centre. It had been a long day in the lab and I was getting tired. The assemblage I was working on was interesting though and despite the clock ticking past dinner time I continued to compare specimens with those held in our reference collection.

I��d been woken so many hours earlier by my clock-radio clicking on to a discussion of what Britain��s national bird s

Lee’s Quotes

“The phrase 'Someone ought to do something' was not, by itself, a helpful one. People who used it never added the rider 'and that someone is me'.”

“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Семейное счастие

Oh yes, I can imagine it being very addictive! You having added your copies has made me want to finally join. It has been something I've wanted to join for a while after seeing a friends copy of His Dark Materials, I was in awe but still a poor student. So thought while I have a bit of cash I'd join, especially as the gormanghast trilogy looks like a must have!

No, I own some, and my girlfriend owns some. I read most that existed then in 1991/1992 and have only very recently come back to it (and fantasy generally). I guess I thought it was childish and I should read more 'grown up' books. Apparently I was wrong.

lol Cornish detective series. They formed the basis of a TV series here in the nineties, but the novels are often compared, in style, to the Maigret books (which I've never read). I've read a few of them over the last few years and have more sitting on my shelf waiting for me. Very enjoyable, gentle, quick reads.

Just noticed some more unadded fiction on my shelves. Well, I'll get to it soon...
