I am currently employed at a firm which only allows me to wear skirts. Now i'm young and a bit fashionable so I don't wear my skirts too long but my legs aren't really pleasing to ones eyes with all the marks and scars due to my...

lmjones006 I have the same problem with my legs so I wear stockings when I wear skirts. I'm young too (although probably not fashionable) I don't think they make me look a granny. There are lots of different colours and styles you can go for. I bet if you go to a clothes...

lmjones006 My Favourite book is Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. It's set in the Second World War and is about a soldier trying to get sent back home. It's really funny - I've read it many times but still laugh out loud at some parts. It's also quite sad in places too as some...

lmjones006 I used to have a hamster - that took some looking after so I can imagine how much reading time children, doggies and cats can eat up! That's the good thing about reading - even if you don't read for years it's easy to get back into, you don't have to keep up...

lmjones006 Correct and Correct, and an opinion as well. I take you're not a King fan (it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing) I've only read Farewell to Arms but have been meaning to read the others.

lmjones006 I just never really got into Austen or (Sylvia) Plath. I never really liked Charles Dickins either. I actually have a degree in Literature so everyone (i.e my friends) seem to think I must love Austen and Dickens et al but as much as I've tried I just don't...

lmjones006 Well done! You're lucky you got to read that at school - we usually got given rubbish that had been written for kids or Austen or Plath. I would have loved to have done To Kill a Mockingbird at school - there's so much to it and I would have liked to have...

lmjones006 Very good - 7 out of 10. I won't say which ones yet, Number one is a stinker - it's quite a misleading first line really because it's not a romance book at all. Top of the class so far!

lmjones006 I with you on this one. I love reading - when I was a kid I don't think there was ever a time when I didn't have at least one book on the go. I studied Lit at university and it did spoil it for me a bit (although I dicovered Latin American writing which I...

lmjones006 If you're going to be in Newcastle it's a shame to be that far north and not visit Scotland. Glasgow and Edinburgh wouldn't be too difficult to get to from Newcastle and there's lots to do in the cities themselves (they are next to each other so it's not hard...

I don't like it when a book is made into a movie as some important parts of a book are deleted because they don't make for good box-office draw or due to lack of time. I often find the movie lacking an important part which offers...

lmjones006 I'm trying to think if I've seen an adaptation that I've enjoyed more than the book, and I can't think of one. The adap of To Kill a Mockingbird was good, but I think it might be an exception. I hate the adap of That Was Then - this is Now by SE Hinton because...

lmjones006 I really enjoyed Ice Age, Sid was my favorite. I didn't enjoy number 2 as much - although I still thought it was good. They're making Ice Age, so I'll be going to see that (might to borrow some kids first though).
