The Trudeau Vector by Juris Jurjevics Bad book. If I hadn't been bored to death I would never ever have read this one. Just don't read it.

I did a little search and the only thing I found was The year of the angry Rabbit by Russel Braddon I couldn't find a proper synopsis but I found one for the movie Night of the Lepus which was inspired by this book: When an experiment goes horribly awry, a herd of giant killer rabbits...

New discussions on old topics are welcome, but starting a new thread on the same topic every other day gets a bit tiresome. Ressurecting old threads would be better, so that all the members can read what has already been said and it doesn't have to start with the same arguments all over again...

Could somebody please take care of the new book suggestions?

The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers The following quote by Graham Greene describes this book best: "Miss McCullers and perhaps Mr Faulkner are the only writers since the death of D. H. Lawrence with an original poetic sensibility. I prefer Miss McCullers to Mr Faulkner because...

In an early stage the human embryo has gill arches and a tail. I found a graphic (not a picture) which shows different embryos in different stages. There you can clearly see the tail and the gill arches.

The Story of my Life by Helen Keller It's the story of Hellen Keller (1880 - 1964), who was both deaf and blind and her devoted teacher Miss Sullivan. Short read, in places way too elaborate and often tiresome. Furthermore some important information is missing and the fact that Helen...
