I've decided that I'm an armchair traveller. I find travelling quite tiring so reading about the places is the next best thing.

I read a great book Pat called
EDWARD TRENCOM'S NOSE by Giles Milton
its about Edward Trencom who owns a cheese shop, and discovers he is being followed and as a result finds out about his ancestors.
Its really good

I've made a note of the title Agatha,
It's a topical story for Genes!

I love reading too. Have been since a toodler just learning. But, I bought a book a few months ago, it was a mark down in price. Halfway through the story started again with the same pages. Never did find out the end. So if buying cheapy books check the pages first.

I wonder what it must be like not to be able to read.

I couldn't imagine a life without books, I read everything and anything although I have favourites. Wednsday last week we had discovered we had no car so a friend lent me 2 boxes of books whilst she is away ...saying that will keep her quiet for a month ...wrong apart from the ones I have already read I've already read 3 books. So only a box to go lol

Sharron I couldn't imagine not being able to read and like many I am an armchair traveller.
I hav also learnt more about history, geography and economics by reading than I ever did in school ! :-D
