All perfectly readable! Ulysses - no need to pretend to have read it, it's anti-literature anyway! 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now are we going to have guessing games as to who read which titles? 😀 Wait a mo... I had another look at the picture and I've read FOUR!!!! Clues: One was a brown Penguin One was a Virgo One was a Penguin with a man with a megaphone on the cover One had blue and green mountains on the cover There you go! Oh, and I've used one as a doorstop... Edited July 31, 2022 by Hroth 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read 1984 (meh) and The Hobbit (but I skipped over the poetry/songs). I've also read all of the Dune series that Frank wrote plus Chapter House Dune. That was when I called it quits :D Edited August 1, 2022 by AndrueC 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The confused took intended or unintended routes at walking pace that got them to the exit they wanted in what seemed a logical way to them. Some locals became emboldened with practice and, where practicable, straight-lined the things without slowing down! One particularly "interesting" example, located next to the then County Mental Hospital at Bodmin, was jokingly suggested as a "Catch 22" selection examination for said establishment. Whether you "got it" first time, or performed more than one circuit before escaping its clutches, you were in! John I did my driving test in Bodmin (long ago) and, much later, worked as a driving instructor there so I got to know that triple roundabout well. It's simplified now isn't it? That seems a bit like cheating. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
