For me reading may be a solitary pursuit but being a reader is in most cases a gregarious & sociable personality type.

Yes, of course. After discussion, I clear my confusions and get lots of professional knowledge.I find it tiresome
Last time, I read about World War and then I concern with my grandpa and he shared the complete story with me. At that time, I felt that i am seeing all world war moment.

I like to discuss books after I have read them, but it has to be with the right person, otherwise your conversation may seem a little tiresome or boring.

Could not have put it better myself Fran. I cannot believe after all our recommendations to each other that we have not disagreed yet. I am not going to start with "The Gravedigger's Daughter", love it. I am waiting with baited breath to see what you think of "Fatherland" Nose to the grind........Ahhhrrr I have to stop saying that.Fran wrote:Absolutely ... for me part of the joy of reading is discussing books, stories & characters, getting opinions of other readers and agreeing or disagreeing with their opinions. I'm constantly amazed at how different readers respond to a book and how heated they can become in defending their opinion ... and I sometimes end up thinking I've read a completly different book!

Just leting you know that you might be a little bit disappointed with "Pompeii" after reading "Fatherland". Its not that "Pompeii" is bad, I enjoyed it, its just that imho "Fatherland" is Harris's best work ever.
