I'm glad the Single but Gifted caught your attention. It's actually Christian based
literature. It talks about everything we go through in life from the time we are born through school, college, marriage, divorce, separation, death, singlehood, what we expect in life, but what God gives us and how to appreciate our circumstances. It's a book to be read by married people, single people etc etc. It has made me look at life differently. If you do get it, I hope you enjoy it.

I read that book. It's not very popular so I just got juiced that someone else stumbled upon it. Do you remember the part when she had to kill a snake that had gotten into her engine? That brings me chills to this day. That book brought a yearning for me to visit Botswana that I am going to quench next year.

I dont like snakes but i was laughing all through the book.I had to stop eading it on the tube cos i was getting funny looks. The book does make Botswana sound romantic.

Because if you ever tried reading you'd realise that you get more information in the book than in the movie.
Havent you ever heard people say "the book was better" or "its best to watch the movie first before reading the book" cos if you do it the other way round the movie is always so boring.
Case in point - The Da Vinci Code. Couldn't bear the movie only watched the 1st half hr, i'd already the book.

Am reading James Patterson's 'Honeymoon'..Revolves around this female top notch interior decorator who has got it all and the men in her life that keep disappearing mysteriously.Very intriguing,lots of suspense.Your typical classic thriller only this time James Patterson has taken his trademark suspenseful writing style to a whole new level.

as for the one who asked why we bother with books my zaks told me once wen i was young knowledge is power.

Maybe they will write a book on How New Zealand lost today thats sad.
