Hi

Reading is my favourite. I own so many books, I've read them all multiple times but that's ok I love to read. I've loved reading since I was little, since finding out I have ASD. I now no that reading and books r my special interest. I can't explain how much I love books.My fav book is James and the Giant Peach. My fav authors are David Walliams and Agatha Christie.

  • That's some kinda undertaking. When I was reading his Dark Tower series I heard about all the connections to other books, so I read all of the books that are linked to that as well. I still can't have read even a quarter of his books, but everything I've done was somewhere between pretty good and amazing. 

  • I love that as well. In fact actually thinking about it Terry Pratchett is one of the few people who can make me laugh, I don't always understand humour but in his books I do! Some parts can be very funny.See no evil

  • I never use to but now I do everything in order, one of my ocd tendencies I've got to read everything in order now. I'm reading all stephen kings books ATM, taking me a long time there's so many but am enjoying it. Keep reading Agathas they get better and better.

  • I'm afraid I don't recall 'The Long Earth' .... there are just so many titles.  I think my absolute favourite was 'Wyrd Sisters'..... "When shall we three meet again"  (from Macbeth)   ........ "Well, I can do Tuesday" came the reply.

    That still makes me laugh, and it's quite a few years since I read it.    "Well, I can do Tuesday" Ha-ha! Clever stuff.

  • I have this compulsion to do things in order and I read a lot of other things so it might take me a while to get up to 1942, but if I carry on really liking them then having them last a few years is a nice constant. 

  • Terry Pratchett is one of my favs 2. Have u read the long earth? That's my fav of his books I've read it so many times and I know I'll keep reading it till the day I die Upside down

  • Thanks my counsellor thought it would be a good idea for me 2 be a part of an online group.

  • The first book I read of hers was evil under the sun, my mum went nuts cause it was first edition but I was uber careful with it and now I got my own to read. I've read all her books now u won't be disappointed when u get to her best loved books. My fav of hers is five little pigs, not thought of as her best but I love it.

  • Hello Bookworm, 

    I'm glad you get so much pleasure from reading.  I've read one or two Agatha Christies but I don't think I could get through a David Walliams, no no.

    Some years ago, I read a very great deal of Terry Pratchett, and loved 'em all. He was really prolific. I remember the four books of the  trilogy..... yes, that's right,  four, he was utterly surreal.

    Welcome to the forum.

  • Hi and welcome!

    I'm just getting to Agatha Christie for the first time. I'm looking forward to when I get to her prime.
