    The Harry Potter Elimination Game

    What is this forum's problem? I'm very new here, and regarding responses I've got already, I'm not impressed. If people don't like something, why mock others for doing it, and why was I replied to so nastily? (Peronel). I've never come across anything like it! It's a well known game and is...

    Can anyone compile a small list of classics that every reader should read?

    Lol, I didn't enjoy the book either, but he asked for an accomplished list, and I think there should be at least one early novel. No early novel can be great, considering the form didn't exist, and they therefore were on there own on how to write one. Of course Defoe when into those things -...

    The Harry Potter Elimination Game

    Yes, that's what my instructions said. :) You have to get rid of a character that reaches 0. Do you expect EVERYONE to count to see if someone is eliminated? If they just wait for me to count, they could neg someone who was already supposed to be eliminated. It's easier and neater this way...

    Can anyone compile a small list of classics that every reader should read?

    I have a small definite list. Mostly Victorians. :) Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte. A brilliant heroine, and a touching, unconventional love story. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte It's interesting to read the frameworks, and everyone should read the story of Heathcliff and Cathy. :)...

    The Harry Potter Elimination Game

    I took this from a Last.FM Harry Potter group. I found it very interesting. I've edited it a bit. Here's hoping that HP is popular enough in this forum for this game to have substance! All you have to do for this is game is add 1 point to your favourite character and take one off from your...

    How do you guys read books? I need advice

    I don't understand why you read in this manner. Where is the enjoyment? It depends what you are trying to get out of reading. If you are just trying to read a good story, what's the point in analysing every single word for its connotation?! That level of analysis is pointless, because...

    Wilkie Collins: The Woman in White

    I don't think Charles and Wilkie wrote in a similar manner. If they did, how can I loathe one, and love the other? :p At the time, Wilkie was in a genre of his own, even if they were serialized in Dickens' magazine. The Woman In White wasn't the first mystery novel, I think it was The...

    A shameless "hello" thread from a newbie

    Hi ya, My name is Nicola, I'm 22 years old, and am an English Literature student. I'm a member of many forums regarding my other interests but the book sub forum in those forums were always inactive (I'm always the only one that posts!). So I decided to take myself to a book forum. :D...
