    Lucy I thinks its very brave for someone with a learning disability (like yourself) to start a book club. I suggest you start with this book first.



    It might be tough for you at first but when you come over to Ireland next I'll help read it to you.

    OK - I think we have had enough fun at Lucy's expense.

    Lucy - I think this is a great idea (and thank you). I love to read - would again suggest 'Times Arrow' by Martin Amis as a starter. Clever conceit and really well written.

    Will do; glad to hear Amis is back on his game. Read some of hisworks back in 90's, and thought he was just like his father, a genius.

    I'd love to join up, but I'm looking at the last book I tried to read and I've not managed more than 3 or 4 pages in one sitting. It would probably take me a month to read a book !
    I used to read for hours
    I'm the same when it comes to rreading fiction-I don't have the patience, but I've no problem reading non-fiction. I guess I'm only interested in facts.

    still no harm in joining? if you don't finish your book, I'm sure it'd be no biggie
