I love my Ev, it's like riding a magic carpet ... and I am certainly not rich ...

I do that all the time now ... is it an age thing or have we finally read too many books?

I once walked to the top of a very big hill and realised I had 750 books in my backpack (obviously on my Kobo)

You can also read in bed without the light on so as not to disturb whoever you are in bed with ... I don't get why people are snobs about them, reading is reading

No it doesn't ... if it hasn't got you by half way through the first paragraph it doesn't deserve you ...

Apart from all the outrage and sheer disbelief of his primitive awfulness, there's a sadness that this person had a golden opportunity to be a better man ...

This 'family voting' thing is ridiculous, when I was a kid (I'm 77) it was families who voted Labour or Conservative, wives and children following the family tradition .. whether that's good or bad is another thing, it's just how it was and if in some cases it still is it doesn't make it sinister.

Is it possible that the prospect of being PM is suddenly so terrifying that NF doesn't want to win?

Jerusalem the Golden, Margaret Drabble ... visiting the 50's ... life seems quite simple then, if a little drab ...

I've just read Venetian Vespers and Banville really creates the damp, chill of old Venice; the pervasive suggestion of disease and murder ... will Evelyn get out alive?

Not me, it's a complete scam ... also, I've never understood monarchists when they say, but we'd end up with Boris as president ... we don't have to replace what is a useless scam with anything ...

Thanks for recommending this, really drawn into it and I don't usually like books based on letters ... it's beautifully written and this woman's life just gently flows into your brain ...

What's the matter with you people? The NHS just saved my husband's life while we were away from home, different area of the country, different hospital, different doctor for after care ... the app was invaluable, the care and expertise superb. Stop knocking it, the app is a tool, learn to use it

I'm in England and the terrifying thing is that from here I see full on cruel dictatorship, yet closer to the horror in America I see joking and 'looking the other way' ... will it take the first death camp to wake up? ... oh no, we're already past that

We formed our Friends of Freshwater Library (Isle of Wight) in 2012 ... we saved our library from closure not by chaining ourselves to the railings but to transfer ownership of the building and then organize so many community groups and activities the council doesn't dare to close us.

We run, among many other things, a film club and the money we've raised is paying for a solar panel system on the roof of our much loved 1939 library ... libraries refuse to die

I'm enjoying 'The Warm Hands of Ghosts' by Katherine Arden; it's not deep literature but it's interesting, a bit quirky, really well written and the characters are already living in my house which is a good sign...

I've finally managed to finish 'Butter' and have the pleasure of picking my next read ... I wish I hadn't already read 'Still Life', in fact twice, as reading it for the third time might be an indulgence too far
