That's what happens to me sometimes too.Originally posted by shinta:ooh.. i sat cross-legged, with the pillow on my lap, n the book on top
the only drawback would be, numb legs..
or, i'd lie with my elbows proppin me up, n the book gets rested on the pillow i'd read, den nap, den read, den nap again.. for the whole of ytd night..till around 1.. cos i had difficulty slpin.. 
No matter how interested I am in finishing a book or watching a movie, I will still fall asleep at some point one. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm a panda... sit / lie there, then fall asleep very easily. -
if i weren't tired, i'd hav read thru the whole thing at one shot, the way i did with harry potter book 4 n 5Originally posted by Rhonda:That's what happens to me sometimes too.

That's a THICK'n'FAT book!! How could you finish it at one shot?! Better to savour it, digest it in small portions, mull over the good bits,... enjoy it thoroughly this way! -

Wah, you're sooo sweet to me!
There are only a few I can think of right off the bat now.
- The Little Matchstick Girl
- The Enchanted Forest (by Enid Blyton but I want the hardcover, fully illustrated version. )
- When the Wind Blows (an illlustrated 'comic' book... actually, it's more for adults than for children because it talks about atomic war and the aftereffects);
- The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse (the fully-illustrated version... LOVE those full-colour food illustrations! hehehe! )
Children's Books these days are soooo alluring and irresistable! -

Children's books are good! Not only can you enjoy them for yourself, you can also keep them for 'posterity'! -

hmm i took a nap in between, but i was curious to how many hours i'd take to finish them so nap time not included...so i guess, it should be 2 shots..
