They (don't exactly know who they are) say that you can tell a lot about someone by what they drink, eat, wear, associate with, etc.
I'm curious about what you lot read. Don't know (or care) if it will tell me much about you, just curious, as I am an avid reader and am always open to suggestions for new reading material.
My own tastes are eclectic and I have more books in the house than I can probably ever read. I am currently reading "A Touch of Frost" (paperback, lunchtime at work), Piers Anthony's "Bio of a Space Tyrant Pt1 (of 5) (e-book on PDA, sneaky reading when boss is out), Brian J Robb's "The Pocket Essential Laurel and Hardy" (in bed, on the bog, spare moments at home). I'm also listening to "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" on an audio book (in the car on the way to and from work).
If I read a book by a particular author and I like it, I tend to end up with everything written by that person. I have run out of bookcases and my penthouse suite (loft/den) has books everywhere.
My name is Mr Levity and I'm a bookaholic ! ;D
So............ what are you reading ?

I'm a dipper...Although starting the new Tent has sent me back to Laurel and Hardy The Magic Behind the Movies Not read a book for a good few months now, although like KK, the Laurel & Hardy bug is back with me so I'm contemplating reading Oliver Hardy's biography in full. Started reading it over 15 years ago and never got round to finishing it...  Was also gonna dig out the L&H encylopedia to refresh my knowledge on them. |

Have now moved on to "The Art of Laurel and Hardy" by Kyp Harness. I'm not usually a lover of books that analyse the boys and their work, (especially that f*cking awful "Another Fine Dress" book  ) but this one is written by someone who really loves them. Highly recommended !  |

Don't you mean bug*ers the mind ? ;D Anyone who has read it will know what I mean. I was accused of being narrow minded by one young lady (she's 14 and therefore knows it all !!!) when I critisised this book. Oh dear  |

Avoided Bugger's...for that reason!
It's an interesting well thought out book...but well I'm not convinced of the findings!

Renee's owned it for years, apparently. We were sorting through some stuff the other day, and it just turned up. Having watched "The Misadventures of Adam and Burt" a few years back, I thought, "Ooh! I'll have a go at that."
Adding to the list of stuff I have on the go now, that makes about six things I think!

Finished everything I had on the go, all at once. Now moved on to : Piers Anthony's Bio of a Space Tyrant Pt5, The new Laurel and Hardy Encyclopedia by Glenn Mitchell, and Clive Cussler's Lost City, another rip-roaring yarn.
Been sorting out my Penthouse Suite and found some audio books by Robert A Heinlein, so am attempting "Stranger in a Strange Land", which I found to be hard work when I read it many yeas ago. It's pretty good so far and one of those books that is much better second time round with someone else reading it for me !

I tried 'Stranger.....' years ago when I was in my teens (yes, I can remember that far back ) but I didn't get very far with it. |
