I've just returned from a meeting in Cambridge so I'm posting this late here in the UK (it is 3:45pm).. because I took the opportunity of a free afternoon in Cambridge's wonderful book shops... I only bought a few- and they were on sale- very restrained for me!!!
So with my head full of books I've seen and a long wish list in my mind, I bring you a Friday Five on books!!!
1. Fiction what kind, detective novels, historical stuff, thrillers, romance????
2. When you get a really good book do you read it all in one chunk or savour it slowly?
3. Is there a book you keep returning to and why?
4. Apart from the Bible which non-fiction book has influenced you the most?
5. Describe a perfect place to read. ( could be anywhere!!!)
As always, let us know in comments if you play. Even better, get in the habit of posting a direct link to your blog entry in your comment, using the following formulation:
<a href="the url of your blog post goes here">what you want the link to say goes here</a>

does poetry count as non-fiction?
Long day today, long day tomorrow, so I'll just take a few minutes to read some of your plays.
Something must be in the air. As I tucked my oldest (Crash Kid) into bed tonight, he mused that he hated being caught with spare time and no book to read. I told him that I just wrote about this, and how I'd been caught in the ER with him and NO book.
Trying again - not so much on the mad skilz yet!
