oh I couldn't get Pocketful of Silver, so I am going to leave it at FFTMC for this month - got tons to catch up on, including the new Ladies Detective book. Just finishing Strong Shoulders at the moment. :-)) Maz. XX

Hi Maz Disgraceful isn't it, my age and I have to admit it is my first time!!!! I have read The Mayor of Casterbridge and Tess of the D'Urbervilles, but not this one. Suppose we need to put our thinking caps on for some new choices ;-))

Dee if this is your first time (!) then you MUST finish the book first or you will spoil it. Got the video from the library yesterday - waiting for a quiet moment to watch it. Maz. XX

No Ann , it's because I want to drool over Terence Stamp and Alan Bates!!!!! ;-)) Seriously though, I am having trouble not watching it before I finish the book, I am determined to finish the book first though Dee ;-))

Only 5 days to go and I haven't finished either book yet! *panics* LOL

oh dear, Ann's post doesn't sound too promising!! you will LOVE the film Dee :-)) Maz. XX

Is that to help you understand the book Dee!!!! I will be away from tomorrow until the 30th in case anyone wonders where I am. Ann Glos

Hi Maz I have been naughty and ordered a copy of the Far From The Madding Crowd DVD from Amazon, can't wait to get it ( and yes I made sure it was the original version, got a bit confused at first though!!) Dee ;-)

confused ther for a minute until I saw Dee had changed back, couldn't think why Maz hadn't recognised her! Norah, thanks but as I have paid my 70p I will wait ffor the library to catch up. ann glos

oh no don't worry! you signed off as Dee, so I knew it was you :-))

Hi Maz, I realised I hadn't changed back so came back and re posted, don't want to cause too much confusion, but it seems I have ;-)

Hi Maz I am with you on Far From The Madding Crowd, I started it last night and am enjoying it so far. BTW we were talking of books that 'go back in time'. Have any of you read Anya Seton's Green Darkness? I read it years ago and am going back to read it again as it has tenuous connections with Ightham Mote, where I work as a volunteer Dee ;-))

Hi Dee, didn't realise it was you there for a minute lol !! I thought you would enjoy it :-)) Do try and get the film too if you haven't seen it! Maz. XX

Anne have finished Pocket full of Silver if you want it Don't want it back - does that say anything? If you don't want it anyone else is welcome to it. Now starting FFTMC keep opening it and putting it down don't think I'll enjoy it but then again its years since I last read it also started another one The Last Templar now thats one I am enjoying Norah

ANN !!!!! I'm shocked lol lol !!! You are as bad as me then :-)) Maz. XX

I'm pleased to see that somebody else is having trouble concentrating on the description. I must say it's a very good cure for insomnia though! lol The other book hasn't come in at my library yet so I think I'll have a bit of a rummage on the book case for some Harlan Coben or James Patterson! Jeanette x

No Maz, I will persevere. (But don't tell anyone, I haven't finished Hard Times yet!) Ann Glos

Ann I am sooo pleased you haven't ripped it up yet! Maz. XX

Hi just caught this as on my way out to post box. FFTMC! Well, I am reading it (by the way I enjoyed the film many years ago, or maybe it was a TV production.) I am finding it quite hard to read because it is soooo descripttive that it makes me want to skip bits. But I enjoy the story and I laughed out loud at one bit so, who knows Maz!! We shall see. I am still waiting for the other one from the library. can't think why you gave up on Labrynth Maz, we definitely have different types of minds obviously Ann Glos

Hi Maz Alan Bates and Terence Stamp, together, I am sitting here drooling at the thought of it. My Other Half is away for a couple of weeks, think it might be just what I need to cheer me up Dee ;-))
