Which book have you read more than any other?

Look I shouldn’t be recommending books to

anyone,

My reading is sporadic and slow otherwise I

would get nothing done

I like to find out about things and love a good

story,

Don’t really like books that make me worry

The modern stuff I find quite a bore

Many of their ideas make me snore

I discovered HG Wells late in life 

Pleasantly surprised probably like his wife,

Mark Twain knew how to write,

Not all his ideas were to the right,

Herman Melville shone a light on nature ,

Moby Dick was such an adventure 

I do revisit books and will do so more

Not blood or guts or a great big saw

Stokers Dracula had style and subtlety

Imagine going to London to show off your

dentistry,

And Daphne de Maurier was not away with the

Birds

Hitchcock realised  she wrote wonderful words

There are so many classics yet to name

I’m sure you really feel the same,

One last word before I go

And that is my favourite  is Victor Hugo.

He was a titan of writing and socially aware,

His footsteps went where others wouldn’t dare.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏

Are you a lifelong learner?

Aren’t we all?

What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?

I cling on to the hope,

That one day my life won’t be a trope,

An Internet Influence or a Google Ad,

To tell everyone that their life is bad,

I’d just like to share in a quiet way,

That I do deep breathing every day .

Namaste and Thank You for Reading 🙏

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

Some have it harder than others and that’s a fact

Some whinge and whine and it’s all an act

There’s never enough of anything,

They’re afraid when they hear the doorbell ring,

Was that me I really don’t know?

It all seems like such a very long time ago.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏

What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?

A sequel or a prequel? The original is the key.Does the story merit further investigation.Is there more to tell?

Success means people want to read more, but it all depends, I’ve got to admit I like short stories and one off novels and the fact that I can trust the writer to tell me a good tale.

If the writer believes it requires a sequel(or prequel) then I’m in.
