Is anyone else here a big fan of this Irish author? She writes 'chick lit' but I feel she deals with darker problems and realistic life situations than the average chick lit author. I also think she is very funny. I have read all...

neriah Thanks Juneramir, we can add abortion to that list as I just finished another book-she always manages to write emotionally enough that you can almost cry but always feel strong at the end as well. I am proud to say I am a big fan of her too! I think there...

neriah I second that, nothing wrong with some chick lit escapism! I thought I had read all her books and then found one in a charity shop last weekend called Angels which made me think of starting this post. It's, shock, really good too, set in LA and it's about...

neriah This is really cute, I like Flutterby also. Maybe the person had something like a spoonerism problem (where you confuse words or put them in the wrong order) but then again there is probably a scientific reason!

Does anyone else really enjoy reading biographies or autobiographies? I read a lot of biographies about musicians who were alive in the 60's/70's but died too young to write an autobiography such as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix,...

neriah Yes I think that is one of the reasons I really like them too. Even if they lead amazing and unbelievable lives, we can identify with many of the human fallacies and emotions that are described in these books. I don't know this book you mentioned but I will...

Since all of us like to sleep so much. I think most of us almost spent half of our time per day sleeping and time for other activities seems to be not enough, right? If a day has 48 hours, how many hours would you use to sleep?

4 responses

neriah I think it would have to be all relative. If the day is 48 hours, you would probably still need sleep for a third of it to keep you going, so maybe 16 hours. Hopefully we wouldn't get bedsores.

neriah I am a 'some time sucker' for these drinks. My mum only gave me them once a week growing up and I think this set the pattern for my consumption of them, they are a treat, not something I crave all the time and I think that it's not bery healthy to drink every...

neriah I am a very independent traveller because I like to go at my own pace but also I always thought it was cheaper to go it alone. However, I recently took my 82yr old grandma to Italy for a week via a tour guide type holiday, and it was truly wonderful. It's nice...

neriah It sounds like you have insomnia or something. Try and blacken out your room as much as possible, like put a black cover over your window. And try and relax properly before you go to sleep. I hate when the 6am sun wakes me up. We are meant to sleep for a long...
