Of a summer’s day I like to spend my lunch hour sitting in the sun reading a book. The Temple Gardens are a favourite spot. Come the winter though it’s rather too cold to sit outside so I spend my lunch hour in shops instead of reading – as I result I become stupid and poor. Can anyone recommend a ...

I need to stop buying books – I stock up and then they sit and fester unread on my bookshelves. Being a member of a library means there’s at least a deadline for reading the things, so I’m going to join up to Lewisham library now I live round here. I used to live down the road from Muswell Hill lib...

A friend of mine recently lost some of her sight. It’s made me start thinking about things and one was reading. There are three million people who apparently can’t read the tiny print in most books (because of their poor sight or for example dyslexia). And 96% of all books aren’t available in large...

As it turns out, i’m a hopeless procrastinator – though i’d prefer titles like media hound, internet navigator, discoverer of faraway connections or curator of useless but plentiful information tidbits – i’m stuck in a rut. So, to protect my inflated columbus complex, im asking all yo...

I’ve been asked to do a reading at my niece’s wedding. I’m looking for something amusing, contemporary and light hearted so have rejected all the ‘How much do I love thee’ stuff. Anyone out these got any ideas?

I’ve got about 800 books, which I’m trying to sell. Chances are, if you want it, I’ve got it, or can get it. I’ll post anywhere in London as cheaply as possible to save you money – cheaper than Amazon, or you can make me an offer for a bunch of them if you like… I’ll also ha...

I’ve always been a staunch proponent of passing on books to others once you’re done with ‘em (not so with people, I swear). I’ve just finished reading Irving’s The World According to Garp and I’m at a loss as to the right person to pass it on to. Anyone want to swap with me? We...

While moping about in Fopp earlier, you only begin to measure my excitement and joy when I clapped my eyes on this year’s most exciting book release to date: “London By London – 2007”. Of course I rushed to the counter to buy a copy, and flicked through it on the way home on the tube, much...

I’ve noticed recently that there seem to be more people reading either the Bible or the Koran than any other book on London’s transport. This worries me. I wanted to mention it here – I’ve been thinking about it the last few days. Then I realised that what i find even more disturbing is th...

Let’s face it anybody who’s stuck this end of the Northern Line has plenty of reading time and we must all love discussing stuff or we wouldn’t be here in the first place. So, who else is up for it? Salope, Gillrick and Fluffle are you still interested? I reckon we need about 3 of 4 more to start w...

There hasn’t been much said on the subject since last month, I’m nearly finished The Power Of One, am I the only one reading it? Or are you too busy reading to post? Are the original book group FCLers into this? MrsMoo? Agox? Purpaboo? Willster?

I’m a bit out of touch with what’s going on in the world of literature, as I’ve been having one of those pesky reading dry spells. I think I’m ready to pick up a book again and I’d be grateful for some recommendations. Thanks!

Absolutely yonks ago I somehow got on their mailing list. Anyway, alledgedly they give out a freebie mag at stations in London and it’s all to do with literary stuff. You can probably tell that I didn’t keep in contact. Anyway, they’re now looking for a new editor and I thought it might be of inter...

Ah, summertime. Sunshine, booze and the beach. To celebrate the few hours of warm weather we have here in Britain, we’ve got THREE copies of a Jilly Cooper-style ‘bonkbuster’ book to give away. It’s called Vintage, by Olivia Darling, and is the perfect holiday read.
