I'm not into books :emb:
I spend too much time with the kids, baking, comping & now on this forum.

My husband reads a lot of books as does his brother.

My husband read Lovely Bones after his brother gave it to him to read.
He said its a good book but was disappointed with the ending.

I have plenty of books.... but they are cooking books :laugh:

Im going through loads of sports books I bought in New York in the summer.

So the last one was called Miracle, about Bobby Allison.

I'm not too bad... i think :laugh:

I make lots of cakes, biscuits, puddings & i make homemade meals with my own pastry, own quiches, fishcakes, chips etc. So it does take up quite a lot of time.

Most books I read are factual books, so I flit between them. Wish I had the capacity to remember the things I read though. I always can't remember a name or a date or something and so can't pretend I'm clever with all these facts I know.

So at the moment I'm reading a book on strange historical facts about London, I started Stephen Fry's book on America (which was released to compliment his TV series), a book on Egyptian mythology and various comics. I just finished reading The Watchmen again. I hope they dont balls that film up.

Why do people read the same book twice?

If you've read it once, don't you know whats happened & whats going to happen in the book?

My husband has read books twice, once i've read a book i've never felt the need to read it again.

There's stuff you forget and stuff you enjoyed and want to enjoy again. Also the Watchemn is a graphic novel, so I learn something as an artist by looking at the style and artwork, etc.

It's the same as watching a film more than once, really.

My ex had that opinion!

A good book can grip and inspire you again and again. Like a film or anything else in life, just knowing the outcome doesnt mean it loses its wonderfulness!
