...EC; I'll put that one on my maybe list then. <br /><br />Toni; aha! The hitchhikers guide...I couldn't remember who wrote that and now I know why Douglas Adams sounded familiar. I haven't read it, but my daughter has a copy and I've seen it often. I should read it.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-82336034139587173342011-11-08T20:25:17.638+10:302011-11-08T20:25:17.638+10:30OMG -- River -- yes, Douglas Adams is (was) an aut...OMG -- River -- yes, Douglas Adams is (was) an author. He wrote Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, amongst other things.

So now I don't remember which quote is from which book....<br />Three of them are:-<br />Perfectly Dead by Iain McDowell<br />When The Bough Breaks by Jonathan Kellerman<br />One Big Damn Puzzler by John Harding<br /><br />Toni; Reading is definitely one of the best pleasures.

I listed some in my comment to Delores....<br /><br />Windsmoke; I don't know anyone who doesn't have a stack to get through.<br /><br />Baino; flies like a brick?

Too detailed, too confusing, too easy to set aside and do other things instead of read and when I avoid reading, it's time to change the book.
