Where did I say I was reading anything to my kids?

I thought that was what you were implying. Anyway, this is like having a argument in a library, it doesn't seem right so I'll leave it to go back on topic.

Nah, honestly I just pointed out how un-original it is. It's just an observation. Seems you're the one that's biting to me, and now you're trying to justify it by quoting your kids as the excuse, I got two as well. I read equally tedious stuff to them. Big deal, I don't come crying here about it.

Got two on the go:

A quite vendetta - RJ Ellory
LA Confidential - James Ellroy

[snaw]

Why do you think that is?


maybe it's because the poster knows some self rightous sanctemonious git like yourself will get on their high horse about it and they think that is funny.


Or maybe it is because they have young children who are learning to read and are genuinely reading Spot goes to the park with them, but the mind numming tedium of reading the same page over and over again makes them actually want to get to the end of the book and find out what happens.....


Who am I to decide?

BTW Are you a sockpuppet of Tays owner?

Nah, are you?

Ahh, bit of reverse thingie going on? Actually not biting, could care less - just an honest observation. Go site google CUK and do a search on book recommendation and prove me wrong.

It's almost a universal law that in any book recommendation thread, on any site someone comes back with that answer.

actually, i also have the long way down on the bedside table but it has been there since last christmas. i've got no further than end of the rain in italy and that was months and months ago.

There's a few good bit's whilst they're in North Africa but to be honest it doesn't compare to Long Way Round.
