They seem quite popular.<br /><br />I loved the Hunger Games, but I haven't seen people reading them here.

Well, I've been getting a friend into the Hunger Games, and another friend of mine is reading Game of Thrones.

I've noticed a few people with the re-issued World of Suzie Wong which I'm also planning to buy; I like the cheesy cover! I'm going to one of my Book Groups tomorrow so I already know I'll see lots of copies of "Hotel on the corner of Bitter and Sweet" and people will bring along copies of books as suggestions for next month's book, so more on that next week.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457861370241862301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-72693577366022156042012-01-16T21:12:59.757+08:002012-01-16T21:12:59.757+08:00Everyone is reading those George Martin books, Gam...Everyone is reading those George Martin books, Game of Thrones. For once, I approve. Longest book title? Hmmmm... This is the longest I can think of right now: "Comme Faire L'Amour Avec Un Negre Sans Se Fatiguer" but that doesn't seem so long to me...<br />I googled the following:<br />http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com/long503.html<br />The title translates to the following (using google translate):<br />"Please tell my mother that I make you think that advertising is a gift and therefore pierre handfuls of free entry and free drinks to those who seem to me, I laugh with VIPs, players and journalists to the tissues, I read and I photograph the News paparazzi by jumping the queue in private, I drink without paying, are fond of sandwiches and gin and tonic, I have a house full of designer items, I know Paris Hilton, Tom Ford and Emilio."<br />I love google translate.g dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467496051544107837noreply@blogger.com
