I've just recently finished reading all the Ian Fleming James Bond books

I read everything from sports biographies to Dickens. I've started to take more of an interest in English history and world war 2 as both my Grandfathers fought in WW2.
I am also interested in other countries and their people,their lives etc.So a bit of everything really.How about you?

Well, I've never been a golfer either so I don't know if your statement is true or not. I do know that my oldest and dearest friend (we've been friends since about 1949) plays golf each weekend and he's certainly no "elitist" - he's just an old country boy like me.

must just be over here then.i can't see the attraction of it myself

Anyway let's forget golf and get back to the subject of books.

True but golf is not my cup of tea but i believe its very popular.
i think it is also very elitist,played by the so-called upper classes

Sure you don't like golf also, Ned?

golf!! the best way to ruin a good walk! i don't think so Stumpy.
thats (no offence to older memebers of the board) an old mans game who have too much time on there hands. golf!! i'd rather watch grass grow,blimey whats golf got to do with books. i can watch most sports except golf,tennis + athletics. oh and baseball because i can't understand it.i don't mind watching american football sometimes.
sorry about that Stumpy,a bit of a outburst there,thats not like me apologies luckynedpepper

i love reading,always have done.when im done on the computer at night i read for 1/2 an hour or so before i go to sleep. i'm always telling my kids how great books are and how you can find out anything in books if you look.i prefer reading to tv these as there's not much on i like so i tend to get through books pretty quick.

im reading " ill met by moonlight " a true story about british soldiers kidnapping a german general in crete in world war 2 and getting him off the island.it is written by one of the actual british officers that took part in the mission.
