    Boyfriend called me a nerd... but who cares? Nothing better than talking to people about something you love, especially when they actually understand what you're on about

    Hehehe! My boyfriend has an allergy to reading. well maybe not an allergy but it's not something he does if you get me. i mean he's only been trying to read the same book for well over a year now, and thats only because i gave it to him.

    My ex-husband was the same way. Not too much into reading at all, maybe a magazine on occasion.

    Heheh, yep. Well he liked outdoor stuff like fishing more and of course (*cues suspenseful music*)....football. (That is just shocking, eh? )

    (Not American football either, but he did watch that occasionally too)

    I think just normal, but I would be reading while he watched that stuff so I couldn't say for sure. It makes me all sleepy when I watch sports....

    I'd rather a good book than a football match anyday! By the way i finished the Bitterbynde trilogy! i loved it! I liked how she used one of my favourite celtic legends at the end. I love the story of Midir and Etain. I would have liked it more if she had written it all into the book as apposed to throwing it in at the end as an epologue, and authors note but it was still brilliant! have moved on to her next series.

    My boyfriend Anthony is a pain in the backside when it comes to reading
    We went to France, and while we were there I read Bill Brysons 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' and two Marianne Curley books 'The Named' and the 'Key'... and what did he read? 3 pages of Bill Bryson after I finished with it.

    He's had it since August and is still on page 100.
    Bearing in mind, he's a very intellectual boy... pffft.
    He ought to be ashamed!

    Yeah, I haven't really experienced the football games on television thing. It had to be traumatic. What is the Bitterbynde trilogy? It sounds interesting. And welcome LauraJayne.

    Well, reading isn't for everybody, as odd as that seems to booklovers like us.

    Niamh, I was a little disappointed in the ending of The Battle of Evernight myself. Let me know how you like her other books, ok?


    *edit* The Bitterbynde trilogy is a series of fantasy novels by Cecilia Dart-Thornton that I had mentioned in another thread in the general lit section. You can read some info about the books here.

    Yes, I think I forgot to say welcome in your gothic horror thread, LauraJayne. Is that the too much analysis you were referring to?
