hey pretty girls...oryx and jauntie i've got only two books to share by Sydney Sheldon and I want to join the book club count on me...
...I wish I can borrow your book, The Diary of Anne Frank. I'm really just intrigued by it.
Tin Tin is good!
i have started a book group - waiting for admin approval
Is it all talk talk talk or has someone actually joined the group in that blogspot?
I have emailed the person at QatarBooklovers.blogspot.com and am among the first 20 people to register. I hope to improve my tastes in reading and graduate from Tin-Tin / Asterix to Lincoln Rhyme (Jeff Deaver)!:-).
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body...sudoku is pumping iron!
I am addicted to literature and have a fairly eclectic collection I am ready to swap out. I have read all the William Boyd's, liked An Ice Cream War the best and also liked A Short History of Ukrainian Tractors (the ending is amazing) so I guess I have a similar taste to Jauntie.

do i have to be polite about everyone's taste in books?
... owns the book, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. I would gladly appreciate if you can let me borrow it or if you know where to buy the book.
I'm just intrigued by this book.
peter rabbit aka paulo coehlo -
in french - veronika decides to die - sat down by the river and wept
in spanish - santiago de compestella
in portuguese - zahir
although at times he is a bit of trite silly sap
It's a nice novel, Paulo Coehlo is brilliant, I like John Grisham too... some of my books are in Philippines.. SOme I gave it away or leave it somewhere so others can read it!
Cheers!

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
....the devil and miss prym and by the river piedra i sat down and wept. somebody borrowed the alchemist.
haven't you read the two?
yes, we can exchange...
apart from english i have a few books in spanish, portuguese and french if there are any of those native speakers craving...
but not for swapping.
I have a lot on Africa too and Arab things.
i also have a massive collection of guidebooks. i am currently looking for lonely planet's armenia book.
and for all those banging on about how great hezbollah are try reading my copy of Brian Keenan's An Evil Cradling - a work of modern literature...
i am also good at giving advice for people who want to read but not sure what.
11 Minutes and Zahir, can we exhange?
Cheers!
"Like I always said IMHO"
..... has books from Mitch Albom? Like, Tuesdays with Morrie, etc.
Actually, I just finished his other book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven.
... actually, i have some of the great books of paulo coelho's : the alchemist, the devil and miss prym, and, by the river piedra i sat down and wept.
what other books can you recommend?
Guys why don't you make a QL Group for people who want to share or swap books? I am happy to post a list of all my books in case I have any that people want. I have about 200, from Asimov to Judy Astley and will bring the rest back when I go back in the summer
I would so luuurve to join in. Only s small problem. I dont have any books to share... sigh.
no swap shop for me but friends welcome to borrow.
but i have few up for swaps but not many.
otherwise i will lose umberto eco and get danielle steele.
& Dean Koontz & James Patterson!
Cheers!

love life!
brandpromo is that your site....
Everybody take a look
Anybody saw anything relating to a Book within 5 seconds in the site?
Honestly never seen a worst site in mylife.
Come on buddy how much intelligence does it take to design a site especially with Dreamweaver & Flash.
I sent a PM to Oryx to say I'd be interested and asking if others are involved. Be good to have some sort of swopshop!

orynx and janunite me to me to i have heaps of books! im mad about them! i have loads too which i could lend out and such like!!! orynx what do you mean by your a book snob? I think i am one of those too maybe as i struggle to find decent books to read, it all seems to be romance and chick lit out here which is pure drival if you ask me!
[img_assist|nid=13270|title=Love Life|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=113]
love life!

[img_assist|nid=13339|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
u want to share/exchange books.
I am THE chick in town for that.
you have come to the correct place with me! pm come to my house and I will sort you out with books.
of the quality variety... i am a terrible snotty book snob.
and the bandwagon rolls on :o)
However, I would enjoy to exchange books and share - apparently not a lot in the shops here apart from fairly innocuous titles/authors

I found your website design rather repellent - chaotic and visually disruptive.
Us readers like calmer aesthetics
lets us know when u get it sorted.
oh and a tip - you should put your post under our classified if u r going to advertise
What's with the recent explosion onto the scene of all the Qatar dot coms?
