I went t Amsterdam few year's back and on inpulse bought a book. It's called The Theatre of Cruelty. Beautifully dark book, a bit BDSM style. Black and white cartoon drawings etc An old woman with teeth in her lady love slot. Fucking weird. So, Have you ever bought a book on holiday, got it home and thought. Why the fuck did a buy that. |

We buy loads. National Trust second hand book shops are our downfall. We had to build a room to house our library  |

"When we were on holiday at the end of Jan I bought a Doris Lessing novel. I regret that, her writing style isn't for me at all, I'm donating it having only read 30 pages"
Should always read back cover.

That sounds a good read!
I bought My Story, by Mohammed Maktoum at the airport , wasn’t sure why , just wanted to understand history of Dubai but it’s actually a great little book of lessons in wisdom, love, passion, survival and leadership. Highly recommend if you’re interested in personal development or history of Dubai , his writing style is unique

Yeah, I love to read too. Currently reading an edited selection of letters written by the Paston family in the 15th century. |

I bought a Kindle so I'd take up less room with buying books. I mean, I'm buying more than ever but they're tucked away on that instead so they don't count.  |
