I know I always sound nerdy for saying this, but the last book I read was Star Trek Titan Taking Wing, which is acutally pretty good if you like Trek novels

On my way back home I missed my train, so I went to the airport and walked around while waiting for another train. I went to the bookstore and saw a big book of The Chronicles of Narnia. ALL 7 PARTS IN ONE BOOK! I didn't know that existed but I just had to buy it! So now I have to finish the CSI book I'm reading right now very fast so I can start with "the big book"! It's all in English and 767 pages long! COOL! haha (when you asked me a few years back if I would have wanted to read an English book of 767 pages I would have said: NO WAY!)

Hi there, talking about literature? I love that of course, I'm an English teacher ;D Being fond of Ireland and its culture , I regularly read books about this country, guidebooks,history,celtic mythlogy, famous Irish writers such as Oscar Wilde, James Stephens,(by the way , Queensgirl, I have "The Dubliners"but I haven't read it yet, I know it's short stories), The last Irish books I've read were written by Nialll William"Four Letters of Love" and"As it is in Heaven" and there are very good, very poetic, the descriptions of the landscape are so charming and realistic that it's easy to imagine that you're in Ireland. I also like reading poems by William Yeats who is my favourite poet and I recommend"Yeats Love poems" to everybody!!! Cheerio, Anne
