A series of unfortunate events

[King Avallach]

Did anyone here like this series by Lemony Snicket.

I did :lol:

 

[Haven]

I did, but haven't read them all or in a while.

 

[Angel]

I've not read them but as part of one of my jobs I have to purchase the entire set so I guess I'll be reading them shortly

 

[Haven]

What job is that?

 

[Angel]

I run the children's department of an online library for the blind and partially sighted. I buy the books, scan them into PDF form, upload them to the website and then customers come along and download what they want for free onto whatever reading format they require - whether it be an electronic speaking reader or maybe large print on a specially designed computer screen. There's no charge and they can have the latest books without having to wait for them to be put onto CD or tape...or having to pay for them either.

It also means I get all the books I want - just received Just So stories by Rudyard Kipling and The Land Of Green Ginger by Noel Langley - two favourite books from my childhood.

:lol: I have watched the movie. It was quite funny.

 

[King Avallach]

The books are better:lol:

As is always the case.

 

[Ms.Reaper]

Never read the series...but I did see the movie.

 

[King Avallach]

A very common scenario here (seen the film but not read the books)

They're good though so don't dismiss them out of hand.
