I just ordered Kidnapped - am hoping it paces the same as Treasure Island!Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357991269022348580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879958980373749204.post-5616292075740996392011-07-10T00:23:38.254+01:002011-07-10T00:23:38.254+01:00This is one of my favorite books!

Now I want to re-read it :) <br />And I totally agree that older books tend to be less action packed than books written recently. I usually warn my friends about things moving a bit slower than what they may be used to. <br />Btw, you've got a new follower!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486672655975751868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879958980373749204.post-7883045820047409982011-07-01T20:24:47.436+01:002011-07-01T20:24:47.436+01:00I've found out since writing this post that if...I've found out since writing this post that if I adjust the font size on the Blogger writer from normal, to small, then back to normal I get the size I want. But then, for some reason, the paragraph spacing gets messed up so it takes ages to sort out. Yikes! So Thanks for pointing out Windows Live Writer - I'm going to have to check that out.<br /><br />Treasure Island really is an excellent book. You'll enjoy it!<br /><br />:-))Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357991269022348580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879958980373749204.post-73995405843185383442011-07-01T13:57:29.064+01:002011-07-01T13:57:29.064+01:00P.S.

For that reason, I use Windows Live Writer for creating my posts and publishing them. I also know a few basic html commands which helps too. Windows Live Writer is a free download, and really made blogging on Blogger so much easier.<br /><br />Besides that, I am liking your blog. Have just added myself to your GFC.ibeeeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222760102843468991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879958980373749204.post-23803640389263981482011-06-27T21:10:56.745+01:002011-06-27T21:10:56.745+01:00I'd love to read more of his books!

Have you read Buddha Da? Let's just say, for the sake of comparison, the pirate language in Treasure Island is vastly easier to read than the Glaswegian in that book. Unless, of course, you're Glaswegian, lol. :)Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357991269022348580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3879958980373749204.post-33703920116421192282011-06-26T10:25:34.606+01:002011-06-26T10:25:34.606+01:00I haven't read this but my fiance has and lov...I haven't read this but my fiance has and loved it.
