Tried and failed
There was a once a bit on here (possibly in OT) about books. A fellow B3TAN mentioned that he was looking to read George Orwells 1984. Being the kind decent chap that I am I offered to send him my spare copy.

he sent me a lovely reply to my offer, made me smile it did.

I didn't have a spare copy after all. It was a spare copy of Animal Farm - a genuine mistake.

Still, he appreciated the offer and was happy knowning that I'd made him smile.

I stil have the spare Animal Farm if anyone wants it.

Jolly nice
If it's not too cheeky, I would very much like to read your copy of Animal Farm.

I've just finished reading 1984 and thoroughly enjoyed it so have been hankering for a bit more Orwell. You can have my copy of 1984 if you want it? Or if not, I'm sure I could rustle up something that might be of interest. Gaz me if that sounds acceptable to you. Cheers!

if you're hankering for more Orwell
There's a fantastic collection of essays, and some texts here: orwell.ru/library/index_en

Ooooo Well I never
That's rather spiffing. The internet's got everything hasn't it?! It's almost as if it knows everything about me. Like it's watching me all day. Controlling my behavior?

Oh well *knocks back another glass of victory gin*

go to
www.truly-free.org - there's loads of classics fiction and non-fiction e-books. I do prefer physical books, but it's a pretty good substitute, and you don't have to go to the library. :) I'm halfway through homage to catalonia - riveting stuff.

wow
Amazing!

I prefer physical books too, but it's nice to be able to read something at work sometimes.

Less obvious reading from a screen than having a book on your lap!
