In my Book Journal I've written (Easy read, A Bridget Jones Diary type book) I've also written some funny lines from the book. One I'll share here
"...after 30 years apppearing in a marriage without a speaking part Lou, it seemed, had balls afterall - he must have sewn them back on one night when Lilly wasn't looking"
and
"..Omigod, I look like someone turned the liposuction machine to blow"
:-) if you choose this book, let me know what you think

I wish to suggest : A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian by Marina Lewycka. It is a quick, easy read, have a look at : http://www.loot.co.za/shop/main.jsp?page=detail&id=2394825082928 for a synopsis.; ▶ Reply to This
