take the plunge! Foxhead Send a noteboard - 11/09/2011 10:07:45 AM
and I would generally be open to someone approaching me about the books I read. But I never quite manage to do it myself.


i'm going to try and keep an eye out for people on the train to work who might be reading books i've read to maybe chat about it, the good thing about that being that i will probably never see them again, unlike the scenario i explained above

i like chatting, especially to strangers it's very interesting, though usually i'll do it on the back of helping someone on the train, giving up a seat for them etc, starting a conversation that way

does seeing someone reading a book you like justify striking up a conversation Foxhead - 10/09/2011 08:21:28 PM 1585 Views
I keep wanting to, but I never do Camilla - 10/09/2011 11:07:07 PM 1311 Views

it is pretty easy tell if they would rather just be reading random thoughts - 12/09/2011 03:13:30 PM 1235 Views
I guess my thing is I just hate to be interrupted and don't want to do it to someone else LadyLorraine - 12/09/2011 04:28:30 PM 1289 Views
you get that immersed even in public area? random thoughts - 12/09/2011 06:52:54 PM 1170 Views
Usually. If it's not a situation where I CAN, I just won't read. LadyLorraine - 12/09/2011 07:23:48 PM 1322 Views

it's the "i will probably never see again" i can't get my head around Foxhead - 11/09/2011 10:21:45 AM 1257 Views
I guess that depends on how you go about it random thoughts - 12/09/2011 03:16:38 PM 1108 Views
