I'm looking for some maginficent/ impressive/ dazzling fiction (/horror) by Canadian authors. I'm especially interested in books whose plot is based in Vancouver or whose author lives in Vancouver. The only Canadian author I know is Margaret Atwood. I'v read "Oryx and Crake" (brilliant) and...

Do not read this summary if you plan to read this book, as it gives away a lot. summary: The Jester - James Patterson amazon.de I read this book a while ago, but I still remember that From there on it got a bit boring, but as there was nothing better to read at hand, I finished it...

I just finished Beasts and it is brilliant. Not in a long time have I read a book which contains such beautiful language. Oates is a genius when it comes to that. The story itself is fascinating and takes your breath away. More is said by the things unmentioned than by the things spoken of...

I politely ask everyone who hasn't read this book form refraining to comment on this thread. This includes statements like "Oh this sounds so cool. I have to read this book." (Come back if you have done so.) and stuff like "Graphic novels are crap." (Get yourself an...

I started to read this book more out of boredom than out of interest and sadly my low expectations were fully met. "The Bad Mother's Handbook" tells the story of Charlotte (teenager), her Mum and her Nan and is set in the UK Middle Class. They all live together and disaster strikes in form of...

If the real world were a book, it would never find a publisher. Over-long, detailed to the point of distraction – and ultimately without a major resolution. by the character Hamlet Something Rotten – Jasper Fforde

I go along with Stewart. We should keep the post count because it helps to identify experienced forum users but exclude the mentioned sections. That way it would be easier to find out who is interested in the main theme of this forum and who is absuing TBF as a place for inane chat.

I just finished this book some days ago and I really enjoyed reading it. Most of the dialogues are hilarious and the relationsship between the main character Dallas and her "fancy piece" billionaire husband made me chuckle all the time. The story itself isn't that good and I soon lost...

Thx for the recommendation ions.

Why do you think is it called the "search" function?

I already pm'd a Mod some hours ago. Obviously there are some people around, who spam every thread they can get hold of and critisise every little piece of mod work.

Thx a lot Monkey Catcher.

Really? I thought that was the whole reason for this exercise. You decide to read a book by votes and afterwards you discuss it. Politeness isn't the problem, missing out on all the fun is.

Hi there! I'm looking for non-fiction books about growing up, taking responsibility and becoming an adult. I'm not looking for biographies or books for teenagers or parents. The target group should be students / young people in their early 20s. Thx in advance for any recommendations...

I really don't see where the problem is. I havn't had bad experiences with spoilers and I'm pretty clueless about people who read book discussions about books they havn't read yet but plan on reading. Books can hardly be discussed without giving away the contents and there is a spoiler...

Morning all, I thought you could find the following website interesting: Needled Cheers

"She upset Billy simply by being his mother. She made him feel embarassed and ungrateful and weak because she had gone to so much trouble to give him life, and to keep that life going, and Billy didn't really like life at all." Slaugtherhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien I've already read an abridged German edition, so im looking forward to a great story.

I think The Pillars of Earth is one of the most tedious books I've read so far. The length is really annoying and the plot is just ridiculous. As I've said before reading this book is like watching a medieval soap opera. It is so stuffed with cliches, that it becomes pretty predictable...
