I'm reading BLOW FLY by Patricia Cornwell. 20. December 2003, 11:23:58 Oh you really should, Merrily! :oDDD Phil Rickman is a great author, he was recommended to me and I would recommend him to everyone I know. I will definitely be buying more of his books, they're 'unputdownable'! 24. December 2003, 00:50:38 After that I think I will go read the dictionary to see if harley has coined a new word with 'unputdownable' 24. December 2003, 01:04:48 Collins English Dictionary: 'unputdownable. adj. (of a book, esp. a novel) so gripping as to be read right through at one sitting.'
Oxford Concise Dictionary: 'unputdownable. a. (colloq.) (Of book) so engrossing that reader cannot put it down.' 24. December 2003, 06:55:12 thank you sam i am always looking for ways to broaden my vocabulary 24. December 2003, 06:55:42 just goes to show that harley is smarter than i am 24. December 2003, 11:54:35 ROFL!! Hardly, MysTery! Its just one of those words that you hear once and it sticks because its so appropriate, and such a crazy word! I read a lot of books that are unputdownable! LOL! 24. December 2003, 12:16:31 It sort of flows off the tongue doesn't it? It's so descriptive! 24. December 2003, 14:39:27 I didn't realise it was in the dictionary, but it's certainly a word I'm lucky enough to be able to say that I've used a lot to describe books that I've read.
It's quite a common 'word' - in the UK anyway. << < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > >> |
