Sam you manage to read lots of books. Do you have a particular genre that you prefer?
I like most books, so it’s easier to explain what I don’t like – science fiction, fantasy, true crime and ancient history. Living at home also helps with the ability to read 🙂
very nice put up, i actually love this website, keep on it
your blog design is wonderfull, it makes me want to hang around longer, you obviously know what you are doing, cheers
