Thanks Ann That's not too bad then

* sidles in sheepishly * Hello Ann, sorry but I have to admit defeat!! Someone else wanted Labyrinth so I had to return it to the library - I won't be getting it again to finish off I'm afraid. The thing is that I just didn't CARE how it finished! I think she was trying too hard and it was too far-fetched and too complicated for me. Anyway, it would be boring if we all liked the same thing! :-)) Maz. XX

Have now got hold of both of this months books, and as I have finished Moll Flanders I will get started on them this weekend How are you finding Far From The Madding Crowd Ann? Dee x

Hi Dee, I am very worried about Ann and FFTMC! I just KNOW she will hate it!! It is in my top 5 all time and I am just loving reading it again. When I have finished I will get the film again from the library - it is brilliant! Stars Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Terence Stamp and Peter Finch (Oak, Troy and Boldwood respectively). Try and get hold of it if you can! Maz. XX

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 ;-))

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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 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 ;-)

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

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

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 ;-)

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

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

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