I'very always loved reading ....since I was a tot .....and all my grandkids do ....but my youngest GD takes after me and loves books ...and reads loads and loads  

I can remember sitting up in bed and looking at pictures and pointing out recipes to my dad when he came to tuck me in sometimes. (Philip Harbens recipe book)

I always was fascinated by Tolkien 

I was made to read The Hobbit age 10 and it just put me off I hated it

We read it as a class when I was 10/11. Loved it and got L.O.T.R out on an older friend's card when I went to secondary school.

sweet potato chips done in the oven,,,,,,,,,very little cals  veg dinner, chicken and chips, then  left over veg put aside and kept until you boil the carcass  I reckon four meals  Chicken is very filling too, one of the best things to eat whilst dieting

I don't mind bonking if there is a story to it and prefer titillation to full on crude stuff..as far as I'm aware the book is badly a badly written piece of crap 

sure is from what I saw of it -yet some raved about it -and said to me it is rivoting - read what you want into it

bet you look no different you swine..men seems to age better, especially men who hang of bars and ladders ..I nearly put playground bars and ladders but though people might go  

I actually haven't detected much visible aging over the last 5 years. Aging doesn't seem to be a smooth process though, so that could change at any time.
