Oooh, thats another of Ice's annoying habits!! (Shes gonna start getting mad with me if I keep posting these up!!) - She's like the Book Protection Police, she keeps all hers in pristine condition and I'm not allowed to read them because I'd 'ruin the spine' - my books all have cracks down the...

Wabbit, I did enjoy The Taking - its classic Dean Koontz and is one of the better ones of his I've read. Its better in the first hundred or so pages though, you get the impression he wasnt sure how to finish the middle bit before heading to the denouement. Very atmospheric though, very scary...

Well, you know me! :p Incidentally, I think that the place you work at has a huge influence on who you are and how you act. I also work in a warehouse, and I can tell you that as it is practically a solely male domain there is a lot of male banter, a lot of swearing, and machismo, that...

Hmm, just got a load of books for a brief holiday we went on - Market Forces - Richard Morgan The Gunslinger - Stephen King The Last Juror - John Grisham The Taking - Dean Koontz The latest one by Josie Lloyd & Emlyn Rees - My Family? We are Family? Something along those lines. Plus a...

I have a habit of reading to excess, well into the night or at the expense of doing something else that i really should be doing - you know, working, studying, feeding the dogs, that sort of thing :D Ice, on the other hand, has a very bad habit of skim reading a few chapters and then flicking...

I caught the first episode and it seemed pretty good, but half the time I am working when it is on so I'm not a regular viewer :) Phil

So, I dont mean to suggest that the pair of them are idiots or anything ... renewing their vows?? I thought that was something oyu did after thirty years, not two :rolleyes: Oh, by the way, welcome to the forum Amber, and please excuse us regulars for being overly snippy, I just havnt imbibed...

Chelsea to win!!! I absolutely loathe Man U (yes, thats right, and I'm not even from Manchester! :D). Phil

Robin Hobb's two Farseer trilogies ... and the Liveship Traders series set in the same world :) Phil

Da Vinci Code is fun in a kind-of mindless way, Perdido Street Station is fantastic right up to the kind-of dodgy ending, but I'll let you decide for yourself :D Phil

Im very sorry about your Mini, Martin, it shall be sorely missed! :) But seriously, didnt you just buy the damn thing last year? Having said that, our Peugeot 106 blew up a couple of months back, forcing us to buy a brand new car :rolleyes: Damn terchnical thingmybobs! Phil

MR got Contact self published with a 1000 copies, each of which sold out very quickly and he landed himself a major publishing deal in about ten countries. Now he's a rich man! Contest was written when he was about 18, and yes it is a little cliched, his later work is a lot better. FYI...

I used to read in the bath all the time, but now I'm not allowed too, as I kept dropping them in the bath when I fell asleep :D Phil
