    complete brain fart

    Not sure about the biggest but a couple of weeks ago my mum decided to try making a pear and apple crumble because she'd only ever put the fruits in separate crumbles before and as I was eating it she asked me what I thought... So I said "Well if you eat the pear and the apple separately it's...

    On loss....

    Not bad, it's good work. :)

    inspire a young reader

    Definately agree with this one and was going to suggest it but I thought I'd check if anyone else had first. Terry Pratchett is a brilliant author and my partner loves his books... he's rather cynical so it'll probably work! Other than that probably just looking for similar things to this really...

    Question: upon returning to a book...

    If I can recall the story and wasn't terribly interested in it then I'll carry on from where I left off but usually I'll restart so I can enjoy it all over again!

    various questions about books and reading

    I don't think it's a problem at all that you find some books difficult to get into, and I too can't get into LOTR and still haven't read it. I find my mind wanders if I'm not interested in a book. I think this is definately something that gets better with time and practice though - I have the...

    The Purple Worm

    Tehe, thank you. I made it in Corel Painter - it's good for making pretty things. I like your stars - very twinkly.

    Never judge a book by it's cover, or should you?

    I think it's very difficult not to judge a book by it's cover. In a book shop there are just so many covers that your eye will automatically be drawn to a particular cover. I don't think I've ever bought a book based on this but I definately use it to judge which books to read the blurb of...

    Wuthering Heights

    I know there are a few versions that have been done for film and television of Wuthering Heights but I must confess I have only seen one... part of one actually. I believe it's also the first, starring Lawrence Olivier and Heathcliff. Has anybody else seen this version, and what did you think...

    Pride and Prejudice

    It's been a long time since I saw Sense and Sensibility but Pride and Prejudice is one of my most favourite books and I love the BBC adaption of it. I think Colin Firth is the ultimate Darcy and I don't think I could see him played by anyone else. I thought Jennifer Ehle was very good as well...

    The Purple Worm

    Well... first of all don't ask about the name, just something that came to me when I was trying to think of one, no particular meaning to it. I live in England and am currently studying A-Levels, four in total - the main two being English Lit and French. I've always loved reading and I used...
