Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

You read during your lunch-hour Daz? A guy I used to work with used to go back to his car at lunchtime to read. Some people used to say he was anti-social but I completely got it.

in the car, or outdoors in good weather - the people I work with are mostly really nice but they are not "friends" and I do not need to "socialise" with them on my own time - it's one of the reasons I initially took up running (to be on my own) - and I am quite willing to admit to being a miserable anti-social git! :-D

I ride mostly. I'm a sucker for a junk mile or two when I can get them.

(That was May last year BTW. Finally reading it now I can't get beyond "McG's going to hate this". Sorry, gang).

I read in my lunch break (1/2 hour) as often its the only chance I get!

Have put off starting Nod as I thought I ought to read my Xmas present first! Also, prefer to read real books at home and use the kindle for work.

I used to run in my lunch breaks but the amount of people in the West End make it pointless now.

I don't read enough at home, mainly on the train. I've only 16 train journeys left to finih the Golden Notebook. It's good, but it's not a quick read.

I whittled my to-read pile down a little by consigning three books to the unfinished category (The End Of The Affair, Corridors of Power, and The Accidental - sorry Bint) and another (The Goldfinch) to the never-really-started-might-try-again-but-not-in-the-immediate-future pile.
