Ohhhh I remember books, we had them at school back in the 80's, these days if there aint verbatum and pictures I'm just not interested lol

just bought the new Beano annual, only £1 at ASDA, that will keep me ammused for half an hour.

Ah now I love my books-couldnt do without them.

I'll read anything but right now Im stuck for a book to read.

Waiting for my dad to finish the Lee Childs book-one of those about ex-military policeman Jack Reacher-I gave him for Christmas so's I can borrow it

Hey skint-chuck us over that Beano when you've finished with it-could do with some light relief lol

I used to love the Beano and Dandy, as well as Rupert Bear Used to get one of each at Xmas. Just got a book from Amazon this morning - The Stonehenge Legacy by Sam Christer, a sort of Dan Brown type book

I'm nearly finished "Rabbit at Rest" by John Updike, the last of his 4 "Rabbit" books....I've read one other but they run in sequence, started with the 2nd. and this is his last. Should have begun at the beginning. Updike is the author of "The Witches of Eastwick", well known film.

I think the Beano had the edge over the Dandy......for a better class of reader! Thats before I started on The Eagle, Wizard, Rover, Hotspur & Adventure. I also dabbled with The Topper but mainly because you got cheap & nasty free gifts......the gifts will probably be valuable antiques now....very collectable! Apologies to our female posters who had soppy things like Bunty & Girl and suchlike!

Jackie or my guy were my favs, always got "the broons" and "ooor Wullie" annuals for xmas lol.

[Shadow]

I remember Jackie

It was a bit girly for me-but I never really was a girly girly-no offense intended-just I was a bit of a tomboy

[Jazz]

Just started reading a a ghost story..."The Man in the Picture" by Susan Hill....it seems good on reading the first pages. Also "The Elegance of the Hedgehog", Muriel Barberry. Both of these books were given to me when I was in North Shields Library to try. I accidently stumbled on my brother who is in a kind of reading club there & one of his fellow members persuaded me to join...you have the book/s for a month then do a little written review if you want to. Tea & biscuits are provided....all very civilised! Took out another John Updike..."Towards the End of Time" for myself.

War and Peace is very good if you have the time that is.
