    what is wrong with society

    Personally, I think there is too much freedom of speech. I am well over hearing celeb opinions and the minutiae of their lives. And people sharing way too much on Facebook. Bring back privacy, stiff-upper lips and untouchable stars.

    When To Start Reading A Series...

    Larsson wasn't actually married to his partner, but she is in a battle with his family now over money and rights to unpublished stuff. Sad really.

    When To Start Reading A Series...

    Nice to see you again Pontiac. The Millenium Trilogy by Steig Larsson. Maybe my favorite trilogy of books. I lost interest in the Dark Tower series, never made it to the end. So I suppose I can forgive writers who get bored of their own work and don't bother finishing...we're only human.

    stupidest movie ever

    It's the only one I read really. Books, me, naturally, and music, him unfortunately. My tastes don't really swerve from the mainstream. Rock-side though.

    Stieg Larsson: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

    They've changed the ending? Does Will Smith parachute in to save the day? The Girl with the Dragon Hi-Tops?

    stupidest movie ever

    It's frickin' awful. It put me into a coma. And I agree with Scott Pack, over on the Me and My Big Mouth blog, the more you think about it the less impressive it was. I'm the BH when talking about films.

    stupidest movie ever

    The George Clooney version? My OH loves that film, but then he does think that the Scary Movie trilogy is intelligent film-making. Movie turkeys I would include on a list are: Domino (I lasted 10 mins), Inception (unfortunately made it to the end) and...the Scary Movie trilogy.

    The Educated Bum

    Them too if you bring the olives. Martinis and Mud - good name for a bar.

    The Educated Bum

    I can offer mud therapy if you like...and luminous green bikinis/mankinis.

    The Educated Bum

    Since we are playing the bolding game, I submit again for reading what I said: The personal pronoun 'I' continues to qualify the ignoring and venting. I wasn't accusing anyone on B&R of doing that - just me. And yes, I vented and shook my head alone - aren't we all physically alone when...

    Your opinion about a book I could write

    Migraine-city here too.

    The Educated Bum

    Merci beaucoup. I am genuinely perturbed that AB has seen fit to stomp off but I do feel that being a member of a forum means responding to posts, especially when you ask for responses in the OP, and conversing with others in a manners as you would expect from them. I wouldn't ask that AB...

    The Educated Bum

    Sparkchaser has stole the words from my mouth. AB/Pont/Carlos/Greenway is a prolific poster on many an internet book forum and I have come across him on a couple at least. He displays exactly the same behaviour on every single forum he joins and gets the short shrift. He got banned on...

    Merry Christmas

    Then someone knows you very well. That's a nice thing.

    Books?! For Christmas?!?!

    Apparently, mother and son went on a TV show following the success of this video, in an attempt to show that the little brat wasn't really a little brat. The little brat had a tantrum on the show.

    Merry Christmas

    I hope everyone had a lovely the-pagans-got-there-first Winter Festival and received lots of lovely books.

    Pontiac/AquaBlue on Christmas

    And I feel, AB, that if feel it's right to use your illness as a defence then you can't really grumble when people mention it. After all, you put it out there in the public domain. If you were precious about it, then don't mention it to a bunch of strangers, and don't use it as a line of...
