Just had a look through all the sections in P&P but no dedicated Book forum.

Have I missed it?

Or is reading too heavy for the average PH'er? wink

Don't think so, as I did find a thread on Kindle boo reader the other day.

I'm currently reading the 2nd Stieg Larsson "The Girl Who Played With Fire" at the moment.

Well worth a read, these books!! Someone on here must know a girl like Salander??

So what do others think??

I read Evo does that count?

Also, why is it that a persons inteligence is measured by the type of reading material he keeps with him? As it happens though I used to read loads before the girlfriend decided that she needs the light off to sleep.

What's wrong with taking a couple of books on holiday rather than an iPad or Kimble? confused
Reading from one of those on the beach is as bad as using an Mac book in mcdonalds. smile

But we're all reading.

Reading PH!

And then...and this bit makes it even better than 'books'...we write too!

And some of us have even managed to turn the reading of words into being able to spell them correctly when we then write them.

A far more apparent measure of PH's drop in standards is its user's spelling.

Or even its users' grammar.

You're going to tell me that " its " is wrong, aren't you? It's not, you know.

I'm all confused! What was wrong with the grammar?

bugger...spotted. Pluralised user. As I wrote it I was imagining the singular PH, but nope you're quite right...!

In the olden days it would have been its', but it was all fields hereabouts then.
