ps8sjk For me it has to be Love, Family and Literature. I need books to escape and learn more about the world, I also need to keep learning and gain knowledge.

Once or time and again?

carmelbg @carmelbg (519) 21 Oct 09

I have not managed to read as many books as I used to, but when I can I read a lot. Little women is one book I read over and over when I was younger. Now I find that I tend to read books just once. Do you have a book that will...

ps8sjk Thanks, I will do that. A few have attempted some classics but some of the younger ones find the language style difficult. Maybe with Christmas coming soon we could try The Christmas Carol in the last term?

Recommendations - John Irving

ps8sjk @ps8sjk (15) 22 Oct 09

My favourite author is John Irving, I have loved all his books and I haven't really found a contemporary author that I like as much. I live in the UK so perhaps I am missing out on some US writers that could be similar? Any...

ps8sjk I don't spend time online to make an income. I enjoy spending time on sites such this (I am new to this one) and so, if I make a little extra money while doing something I enjoy then great. I have a full-time job teaching so this is just something extra.

ps8sjk This is a wondeful poem. I am an English teacher in the UK - I teach 11-16 year olds and I wish my pupils could write poems like this! It creates a fantastic evocative atmosphere and he shows a wide range of vocabulary. He is very talented!
