I saw them live in concert. They were the opening act for-I think, but not really sure, The Smashing Pumpkins.

Narnia- I already have all of them and read them, but they are old and falling apart.
Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, or The Vampire Chronicles- I don't own any of the books in each of these and I'll pretty much read anything, but I'm afraid that I might not like the books in them.
Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm's Fairy Tales- I think it would be cool to own the two Fairy tale books as 2 leather bound books, but of course I already have Grimm's.
Sherlock Holmes- I really want to read these two, but I'd rather get 4 or 5 books in one than 2.

Sorry for my little book rant. I love books and I love buying books so I have such a hard time choosing. I could spend and hours in a bookstore just looking around and deciding what to buy.
Holmes. Always always Holmes. I'd sacrifice a lot to have leather bound works of Conan Doyle. Even if it was only The Hound Of The Baskervilles.

Go for Charles Dickens - any story by him is totally wonderful.

My set of Narnia Chronicles is falling apart so my husand bought me a beautiful new boxed set. If I was to go on a quiz show then my specialist subject would be Narnia - totally know them back to front!

I think it's between Sherlock Holmes and Charles Dickens now. My first choice was Sherlock Holmes and then I saw the other ones. My friend loves Charles Dickens and we pretty much read the same books. I might just buy both because they aren't that much. I'll just have to cover whatever my gift card doesn't cover. Thanks for your input

I've only read Narnia once but they were awesome I'll read them again sometime in the future.

I am going to hate myself tomorrow. Pulling an all-nighter so I don't oversleep and I'm able to be at Uni on time.

I don't have any lessons tomorrow, but, we have to pick our modules for next year, so, if I sleep in, I'll be stuck doing something really awful. Like "Analysing 18th Century Britain texts" Do not want.

I love reading books myself and I used to buy tons, but it got to the point where, 6 months ago, I had to buy a Kindle so I could have room in my bookcase.

Anyways, as for the book, go with hans Christian Andersen. I read a cheap BN paperback copy once and they're really good. Hell, his version of Little Mermaid is nothing like the Disney version (and kinda depressing too)

I saw them when I was in college. My best friend and I were obsessed. I still LOVE Shirley.

And Amberle- you can't go wrong with Dickens.

I have officially no room left on my bookcase. I have two piles of books on my floor and they are constantly growing. I plan on having a room in my future house dedicated to just my books

That's what I'm thinking too. I think I'm leaning towards Dickens now.

This sounds weird, but I have "The Ghosts Are Gone" playing in my head. I am either channeling this new song out of the ether... or I've just spontaneously written a song based on a random song title! But it's definitely Stevie singing the song in my head. It's a bit of a frantic song with lots of acoustic guitars, swirling strings and a manic drum beat. It's not unlike Eurythmics "When Tomorrow Comes," but faster and in a minor key; she's literally screaming out THE GHOSTS. are. go-o-o-one... God, I wish I had an acoustic guitar and a tape recorder...

I wish you did too! I've had dreams about hearing new Stevie songs but I can never remember them when I awake. Perhaps FM77 would like to weigh in on your description?
