thanks Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who responded to my request. Much appreciated. Article is submitted. Happy forum-ing.

Yeah, I'm getting that impression. But see, you still manage to be sensitive in your responses, whether you agree or not, which is helping me to feel less like a freak. This whole line of argument is definitely putting a new angle on my piece. Fascinating. Anyway, thanks for your input! :)

Leeny, I really appreciate your response and I am happy to know that you find great satisfaction from your online community. Thanks for your input!

gee...clearly, books aren't the only things that generate strong feelings and opinions! i agree, that it's important to be told when you're being stupid, as you say, but does that mean that the one kicking the ass, has to be an ass to do it? This may be a degenerative age where...

I agree with what you've said here, however (and I realise this is not always the case) I find the forum world a bit hard to take at times too. I was completely turned off by some key participants who appeared to use the forum as a platform for their intellectual snobbery and to trample on the...

perhaps i ought to have asked, 'if you had to choose, which would it be'. though, the original question is still valid, since, as you suggest, not everyone does both, for whatever reason.

I especially love the dialogue between Lizzy and Darcy when he proposes and is refused, in no uncertain terms, as well as between Lizzy and Lady Catherine DeBurg when the latter visits the former to forbid any union b/w Lizzy and Darcy...just electric! And of course, Mr Collins is a lovable...

I totally recommend Persuasion...after P&P it's my next most beloved Austen novel.

I am currently reading this book and am really loving it. I can't wait to see what happens to Zenia in the end. I'm loving hating her. Right now, Roz is unfolding her story. The character of Tony is a little annoying, in how she is so determined to be with West, despite knowing that they...

don't be sorry, i TOTALLY agree. I much preferred the structure of the film compared to the book...the story unfolded way too quickly in the book, which seemed to water down the action, making it seem very superficial or shallow, as you say...i just didn't feel anything. this was such a shock...

Most recently, On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan...a very quick read. Also read New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, on a flight from Sydney to Canada. The same with Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro (excuse spelling if that's incorrect).

Hello All - I need your help! I am doing a Creative Non-Fiction writing class as part of my Masters program and have chosen to write a feature article on online forums. Specifically, as this thread title suggests: why join an online forum as opposed to, say, talking face to face with...

My ultimate cozy book is Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice...always makes me feel happy and contented. However, other ones I've enjoyed repeatedly when in such moods include: Jane Austen's Persuasion L M Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, E M Forster's A Room With a View Arthur Golden's...

On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. His honestly completely disarms me.

I'm in India, finally revealing to my companion how my parents met.
