How many ...?

[North Star]

Oh I liked All Creatures Great and Small, too, although only for the first two years (I think). Anyway, while Tristan was still there, and up until when James became a partner. After that, it seemed like a different (and not as good) show.

James became a partner really early on into the show (as a wedding present). The third season ended with James & Siegfried joining up, and after the Christmas specials, the actress playing Helen changed, and the housekeeper Mrs. Hall didn't return after S3.

How many books that you couldn't finish do you plan to go back to someday?

2 - For Whom The Bell Tolls and Bleak House, both of which I started around 8 years ago, BH translated into Finnish. When I get to it again, it'll be in English, of course.

Same question

[Pompey Bum]

Yes, the original housekeeper didn't return after the second year because she was dead. I think the actress was terminally ill for most of the second season. As I remember, she was wonderful.

One of my quirks is that I finish every book I start, whether I like it or not, and no matter how long it is. So none. There is none.

Hope you enjoy Bleak House when you get back to it. Some of the characters are really amazing.

How many book cases do you own?

[Lykren]

None, I've finished all of the ones I've started, at least to my knowledge. EDIT: None, but I live with my dad and he owns about a dozen.

How many years of school have you attended?

[Pompey Bum]

Too many? At least I've paid for too many. But I consider every year I live to be a year in school. And I still consider myself an autodidact.

Same question.

[North Star]

Same answer apart from the payment part, what with the (almost) free education in Finland.

Yes, the original housekeeper didn't return after the second year because she was dead. I think the actress was terminally ill for most of the second season. As I remember, she was wonderful.

Yes, the actress died - unsurprisingly, as she was very old. And she died after the third season. She was wonderful indeed, particularly with Tristan

Hope you enjoy Bleak House when you get back to it. Some of the characters are really amazing.

How many book cases do you own?

Yes, I tend to finish my books as well, apart from those two, BH partly because I wanted to (eventually...) read the original instead, and FHTBT felt just too dull at the time. And I was rather busy with studies at the time.
One bookcase.


How many authors' complete works have you read?

[bounty]

the all creatures great and small books are amongst my very favorites. I watched a few episodes of the tv series, but just liked the books so much better. I have a number of other things by james herriot also.

im reading a Charles dickens biography right now, but ive not read bleak house. my last dickens book was hard times.

I tried going back to zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance after failing with it a first time....and alas, it bested me again!

only two that im aware of...vince Flynn (who wrote counter-terrorism thrillers) and Patrick McManus (who wrote/writes outdoor humor). im close on tom Clancy, and john grisham. I read classics too, I swear, I really do!

Probably just about all of them; Peanuts was some of my earliest reading, and I've been a fan my whole life.

Perhaps a dozen. The one I was most attached to was from Lion King II, I think.
