Introduction
I am a book lover since the age of four. Not being allowed to read at the table as a child, I'd read the condiment labels. If I forgot to bring a book when I was on a bus, I'd read the ticket. Do I need help? I am now 60 and maybe it's too late.
We all have a Favourite Book, what's yours?

As an avid and compulsive reader all my life that is a very difficult question to answer. I may have to say "The Remains of the Day" for it's understated and brilliant portrayal of a repressed individual. I also delight in Pride and Prejudice"

We all have a Favourite Book, but we want to know about the book you couldn't STAND! Give us the skinny on the book that you couldn't read, or read, hating every single page:

I cannot bear mangling of the English language, so any book which has poor grammar and pitiful syntax, I could not read. I also have to confess a dislike for Dickens and tried (and failed) numerous times to read "Great Expectations"

I can teach the simple steps of meditation to your group in 4-5 days for less than 30 minutes daily. If you can organize a group of 4 (minimum) I can come and teach in your place.

  •  Hello Janet. Don't think we've met, but I wondered if you had heard anything about Heather and what is going on with her. I have emailed and phoned a couple of times, but not heard back. Her message to the MeetUp group didn't sound like her at all, so I was concerned. Regards, Jennifer
