This reminds me of the twenty minutes I once wasted in Waterstones in the run-up to Xmas, moving books between the "gifts for him" and "gifts for her" displays

@glaringanomaly Haha, I’ve actually read that one too. It was a long while ago though. It came out 23 years ago.

[nickiquote@mstdn.social]

@JackTheCat Of course, I’m not an animal.

@MiaMarkTwo James Patterson doesn’t appear on this stand but I did note that there were loads of James Patterson (branded) books in the normal books section.

It’s pronounced feeeemale

(ngl I would probably give the Ken Follett a go)

@regordane @Nickiquote I salute you.

I find it mildly reassuring that with space for 20 titles, they only managed to find 18 so had to show two of them twice

@regordane @Nickiquote @eleanorrees

"wasted"???

[regordane@mastodon.me.uk]

@Nickiquote @glaringanomaly

Yeah I haven't read that, but I would. And the Bernard Cornwell too, probably. Both are good writers

[jackthecat@mastodon.scot]

@Nickiquote Forgot about this. Seems apt.

@Nickiquote @TwoClownsEating Where is “The Guns of Navarone”?

@stevegis_ssg @Nickiquote @eleanorrees

The reason I'd gone in there in the first place was because I had some time to kill

@Nickiquote

Every Ken Follett strong feeeemale character during every phase of British history:

- Whip-smart and also lithe as a whip.
- Sense of yuuumour and also very serious.
- Fiercely independent and also totally devoted to A Guy.
- Extremely skillful and resourceful does everything better than the men around her can do but also, and this is important, most fetchingly.
- Very ethical and also cunning and brave but also frightened and admirable but with some vulnerabilities and strong but with a softer side.
- Has been through a lot which has just made her stronger not bitter and definitely not a man-hater in fact really rather horny and up for it right now as a matter of fact.

@regordane @Nickiquote @eleanorrees How was that wasted?

I myself have spent time in Barnes and Noble (1) putting bookmarks for the GI Rights Hotline into books by Tom Clancy, WEB Griffin, et al.., and (2) reshelving Rush Limbaugh and his ilk into fantasy fiction.

I invert/hide the Harry Potter books when I see them.

@MercG @Nickiquote only Follett I know is that Pillars of the Earth thing I saw a TV version of once.

I was meaning the book by:
