Thanks for the site. I looked around a bit to see if maybe I've been living under a rock in the wilds of Louisiana, but there's no U.S. site that I can find. So maybe, this once, I'm not necessarily ignorant, just unenlightened. That's a relief! Of course, if someone proves me wrong and they...

Excuse my ignorance...what's a puffin?

That's why I posed the question in the first place. I guess, pure definition aside, when it comes down to it, "classic" is in the eyes of the beholder (or reader). Ender's Game comes to mind. It's definitely a SciFi classic. It's even been used in military schools as a reference, if I...

Its for all of them. I reread The Fellowship after seeing the movie last year. Then I went on to the other two. I can't wait to see The Two Towers. As far as a discussion...I don't even know where to begin. I was so absorbed in the landscape and scope of the story. The relationship...

Funny you should ask that question, Prolixic. Check out this thread. http://www.thebookforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=109

We're planning on seeing it soon, but not the first weekend. People has been reserving tickets for weeks now. I thought we'd wait at least until next weekend. For the first movie we went to a 10pm show, got there an hour earlier to stand in line...but there was no line. We may try that againt...

I visited the site. I was surprised to see a book was released a block from my house! I may give this a shot. BTW, welcome!

I don't even have a bookshelf. I keep some in boxes, some on a shelf in my closet, some on top of my armoire (sp?), etc. I hate to get rid any book. Who knows when I might want to reread them, even if it's years from now. But...I can't. That's one good thing about borrowing from the...

Glad to have you on board! (Scrabble...board...get it?) Welcome.

Oh wait... Are you kidding or what that nice leather chair a little too close to the fire. ;)

The Big Easy's wet and windy at the moment. We escaped the worst of the severe weather, thankfully. Books are fine, thank you very much. :p As far as flooding...which one? :D We're always under that threat. If you mean flooding the recent tropical storm and hurricane, we had some...

I sense you want the question asked so here goes. . . what was your physic question/puzzle? I'd like a shot at it.

Here, here.

Gracewings! Haven't seen you in a while. I hope you're doing well. In the fall I like to take walks, play backgammon (I'm teaching my 10 year-old) and watch the Saints play. They're doing great this year! I've been watching a lot of TV lately, too much really. I enjoy watching "Trading...

Darren, you're right. I had forgotten about that. I didn't mind it, though. I usually hate "corny" unless the entire book is geared in that direction, but for some reason it didn't bother me that much this time. Of course that's just the sort of thing Hollywood will hook it's claws into...

The Kenneth Branagh version is definitely my favorite. I'm a big Shakespeare fan, but Hamlet was never one of my favorite plays. This film changed my opinion. The acting was superb, directing right on the mark and cinematography gorgeous. Branagh is at his best when bringing the Bard to...

Awesome! Was disappointed to read that it's not being filmed on location in France. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'd like to see Crichton's Timeline made into a movie. Of course, I'd probably be disappointed.

It's been 10 years since I read this book. That's why I was hesitant to join in a more in-depth discussion. Since you've put me on the spot :D :D (and you should!!) I'll give it a shot. Interesting point. Ignatius has set himself apart from everyone. He acts superior, perhaps to hide...

Ah, Dispossessed. I think I called it Disenchanted earlier. Sorry UKL fans.
