What is your definition of a reference book? I use it to describe a lot of the books that I read, but am wondering if it is the correct genre.

Inside the Victorian Home: A Portrait of Domestic Life in Victorian England, by Judith Flanders. I'm half-way through and I love it. I'm finding it very interesting. I did leave it at my friends house in PA so I'm stressing until she comes down this weekend to drop it off. AARGH!:eek:

The Wayward Bus by Steinbeck. God I love that man.

Well said!

Tom Jones. My eyes starting rolling back into my head after 2 pages. I just couldn't take it.

If you like Marx then you should read State and Revolution by Lenin.

I think a lot of guys like romantic comedies. Admitting to it is another story. Now Robert is a real man because open to watching so-called "chick-flicks". It doesn't emasculate him in any way. :rolleyes: And on that note, I'm not ashamed to say that I love the so-called "dick-flicks"...

The Italian Secretary by Caleb Carr.

Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton. Loved it. Caught bits and pieces of the film a dozen times but could never seem to get interested. The book however was wonderful. Short and sweet. :rolleyes:

Now, now. I like action action films as well as the tear-jerkers which is why I take offense when films are gender-labled. Thank goodness my husband doesn't have that mentality because we enjoy films from all genres.

What exactly is it about Cold Mountain that makes it a "chick flick"?

Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton.

Great film. Good storyline and acting. Daniel Day Lewis is wonderful.

Cartoons ------------ 1. The Transformers 2.G I Joe 3. Groovy Ghoulies 4. HeMan 5. Dungeons and Dragons 6. The one with the mechanical lions that forms a robot (name slips my mind) 7. The one with the 5 winged creatures whose rocketship docks underwater (name slips my mind) 8...

I couldn't get past the first two chapters of the book. I also couldn't get past Jude Law's horrible accent and acting in the film (no offense Jude, love ya still!)

Life of Pi by Yann Martel. I liked the first 59 chapters but got bored with the rest. The last chapters with the interviews were good and I feel they could could be enjoyable as a short story, but overall I feel the book was disappointing.

I've read on this thread that some people find certain 6FU episodes to be dull or too dark. You should keep in mind that not episodes have the same writers or directors, so each one will be different.

Read that 15 years ago and loved it! The movie was good as well - very true to the book.

UPDATE! Not only am I reading Portrait of a Lady, but I'm also reading The Life of Pi. I picked it up yesterday while at the airport - seems good so far.

Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.
