What colour book to read?

[Rusty Nails]

Went to a local charity shop today and looked at the bookshelves. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to read a red, blue, yellow, black or white book so gave up.

Always orange (Penguin) or red (Vintage).

Easy.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Go for purple

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Black, the colour of a good thriller!

I've seen this before, you'd have thought charity shops would want to make it easy not hard to buy things.

 

[slowmotion]

Avoid yellow unless you're a bodice-ripper fan.

My wife always jokes about crappy books with pastel-shaded covers.

I read a book once. Green, it was.

Porridge?

My favourite line from Porrdige!!! And I'm very glad I googled it; how heart-warming is this comment (note the date!):

I note Lee Child in top-left AND bottom-right ...

I'll take Stephen King's The Stand on the right hand side of the upper left shelf, please. As long as it's the extra long "includes all the bits that got cut before I got so famous" edition.

The Dewey decimal system was overrated. Colour coding is clearly the way to go.

He's the modern charity shop's equivalent of Jeffrey Archer years ago. His books are everywhere.

The Dewey decimal system was overrated. Colour coding is clearly the way to go.

My wife was a library assistant for years, still waxes lyrical over Dewey decimal and goes mad when she sees displays like that.
