I lost mine unfortunately, but I guess I'll be getting a new one very soon :D

I just finished this and I really enjoyed it. Previously I didn't know much about Vlad Tepes apart from the fact that he impaled people and was the inspiration for Dracula, so I found all the information this novel contained especially interesting. I could believe that the research would have...

Marley was dead: to begin with. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

Thanks - from what I hear, I'll need it!

You're very welcome! I was going to get you something LOTR, but I had no idea what you already had - from your posts it sounds like you have most things to do with Tolkein and his works! I hope you have a Merry Christmas :) P.S the little chocolate-type lollies are pineapple lumps - I'm...

Wow - what a tough question! I had to go with the written word because I believe it to be more informative than the other choice, as long as the writer is adept. It can record not only what things looked like, but how it made people feel and think; something which is hard to do in the other...

Read 100 books during 2007. Start reading more classics and literary books. Work hard at Uni, and not leave assignments until the last minute (this one is going to be the hardest to achieve :D ). Are you being serious? That can't be good for you. Whatever happened to a balanced diet and...

Like The Da Vinci Code, but far better and with vampires. -The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.

Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco finally came for me at the bookstore today (I had to order it in as they didn't stock it).

Really? That would have annoyed me!

I bought A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess for my younger sister, and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro for my brother. I also got a pizza cookbook for my aunty.

:D I really live in a town called Rangiora, but Chrischurch is the closest major city (it's about 20 mins away and the second-largest city in NZ).

Hell no!! I don't see the point in introducing yet another substance to the market that heavily effects the health of the users. Why legalize it? There really is no point. I know that some people are going to point out that it has medicinal properties, and so it should therefore be legalised...

I'm for stem cell research because I think that the potential benefits far outweigh the supposed negatives. As Heteronym pointed out, the stem cells used come from "waste" embryos, and so I don't see anything wrong with attempting to further life using materials that were destined for death in...

:eek: How did you find the time?

Good to see you around again, steffee!! We've missed your monthly statistics (as well as just you in general, of course :D ).

I agree that it did start of slowly, but it more than made up for it with the rest of the book. Jamie is probably my all-time favourite character, and for once I actually liked the female lead (usually I find them a bit annoying). You should definitely try and finish it if you didn't manage to...

I'm an atheist.

I tried to read that book, but I couldn't get past the first few pages. It was just so incredibly dull. I've found that this happens with every Dickens that I try, which is a shame because I do want to complete one of his novels. Do you have any recommendations for a more easy one of his to get...

:eek: You have envoked my wrath!! ;) What was it you didn't like about it?
