Thx very much Darren. I'm happy to have you around again.

The thing which annoys me most is the fact that as a response to most complaints you recieve the answer that the mods are looking into it, but you are never told what happens next. The library isn't working since April and the "book of the month" section on the main page hasn't been updated...

Sorry to keep on nagging. Are you aware that it is still impossible to add new reviews to the library? I talked about this to a mod some weeks ago and obviously nothing has happend since then.

No, I don't think so. Strangely I and a lot of other people think of Harry Potter as a kid's book and not as fantasy.

You mean The Secret History by Donna Tartt? I read it some months ago, and although it started out really good it all became a bit surreal at the end. I missed some and some more emotions concerning would have made the end way better. As far as I could see the only wondered .

That's cause all the trolls voted for the third option. In my opinion they are just penguins in disguise. ["Cute and cuddly boys, cute and cuddly."]

A Sea of Troubles by Donna Leon Quiet entertaining, although I didn't like the way of Elettra's involvement and the end was a bit confusing. Persuasion by Jane Austen Witty and really short.

I love this review, especially the "Shakespearian by comparison".

Hi Bonzo! Does Atlantic Canada just mean the east of Canada? If you wanna rant on about not liking The Catcher in the Rye, have a look at this thread: The Most overrated fiction book ever? You really like 1984? For me it got way too confusing and abstract in the end. Try Brave New World by...

I really like some of Reilly's books. I know that they are predictabel and not really good. It's like watching "Terminator" after having been to the opera. But sometimes that's what I need, although Reilly lost me with his last books "Scarecrow". I tried to read it (in translation) but it was...

Try these: The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Animal Farm by George Orwell Life of Pi by Yann Martel The Wish List by Eoin Colfer The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon (short but...

So that everyone knows what you're talking about: State of the Union by Brad Thor Is it just me or does this plot sound a bit overused? You know all that good Americans/ bad Russians stuff?

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier This story is pathetic. The female main character behaves like a small child and her husband treats her like a nice puppy. I know this was written before my time but for a post-war book it's ridiculously stereotyped.

Try The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls.

I just found a great program. Thx to RedNewt over at the "Cow & Chicken Online Reading Group" for this fabulous suggestion. http://songstech.com/elibpro.html

Doesn't Terry Pratchett live in Wiltshire, UK?

Guards Guards by Terry Pratchett Great book. Extremely funny. Night Watch by Terry Pratchett Hilarious.

I read the back flip & some book reviews and therefor I said it "sounds" like a book about things we already know. You asked me a question and I answered it. And yes I do judge books by their back side summaries. It's just my opinion if you don't go along with it, ignore it.
