About meI have a boring job - therefore my hobbies, pastimes & general activities tend to be a bit more exciting and competitive. Favourites are Football (The Beautiful Game - anyone who calls it soccer has issues !!), Squash & racing Gokarts as often as funds allow !!

My taste in books tends towards the same as well - either funny, exciting or filled with suspense. I do not like all the arty stuff loosely classified as "Modern Literature" - each to their own but I'd rather have my eyes pulled out and used as a pair of Orc's earrings than read some of the stuff that appears in the bestsellers list !!

I also get irrationally angry with people who use "text speak" in their daily lives. We have a perfectly good language that has served us handsomely for the last thousand years or so - we do NOT need to invent a new one just because people are too lazy to learn how to spell or use punctuation and grammar correctly !!

About my librarySome of these books I've had for nearly 20 years. Some of them I've bought or been bought since I first picked up the Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett all those years ago.

Some of them I've had for years, forgotten that I own them and gone out and bought them again !!
