Laurel’s comments from the I Read Therefore I Am group.

Sounds good, if I see a copy cheap or in the library I'll probably check it out ;)

How was The Bone Season Hilary? I've seen mixed reviews....

Hope you're feeling better soon Ellie! I'm hiding out at home as well, I'm not very keen on New Year celebrations.

Wishing you all All the very Best for 2014!

Yeah, I thought George Orwell's diaries would be more interesting.... maybe they get better later on

I don't know who this chap is but will Google him and then read it ;)

They are lovely, they are a little like Haiku aren't they?

I love both Hardy and Tennyson so that's a good end to the year!

And I would be unemployed!

Interesting one - very simple but absolutely effctive

Angela wrote: "I just finished A Christmas Carol. Is it sacrilege to say I thought it was a bit over rated?"

I love it but I do think it's very difficult to judge it on it's own merits as we have all grown up with it in so many different versions.

Crazy isn't it? I don't get it... has been even busier today :(

That feels a bit melancholy to me but still a lovely poem

Hi Anna, welcome to the group!

Hee hee, how did you know my driving was just like Mr Toad's?

Ha ha if you think that was a rant you should have seen us yesterday morning! We were not impressed. Bless your brother as well - he's making a difference :)

ha ha, lol not really - although I do have a real soft spot for Winnie the Pooh and The Wind in the Willows ;)

Haven't seen the M R James yet - we were out at my brothers when it was on and haven't had a chance to watch it on iplayer just yet. Was only off Christmas day, had to be back at work yesterday to make coffee for all the people going to the boxing day sales but am off new years eve and new years day so that's something to look forward to!
