Ah, I thought that may have been the case but I wasn't too sure. :o I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say that it is a commonwealth flag. We have the Union Jack in the corner, yes, but the flag itself is very much unique (even though it does look strikingly similar to the Aussie flag...

I also take them off when I'm reading. It just gets too annoying trying to push it back up into place all the time.

I can't stand it when authors decide to leave out quotation marks in their books. Not many authors can pull it off - it just gets confusing, and I think that it's unecessary.

I don't think that this is right at all. Not all people are obese because they stuff their faces with junkfood and don't do any excerise.

I think that the kid shoud have been charged for vandalism and arson, but I don't think that he should be charged with flag desecration. I think that people should have to right to do that (to their own flag, of course), although I don't really think that it's a very intelligent nor effective...

I think that Eye was trying to say that King has had a lot of practice that he's far from perfect, hence the saying isn't true. Just a little bit of humor, I believe. Nothing too deep and meaningful :p

From the posts I had read on it, I was expecting it to be an original masterpiece of a book which explored the dark sides of human nature. Pretty much it was being touted as one of the best books out there. I just didn't see that. I didn't take to the style, the lack of quotation marks annoyed...

Blindness by Jose Saramago is probably the most disappointing book I have read. Not the worst, but the most disappointing. From the rave reviews I had been reading, I expected something much, much better. By all means read it, as I know that a lot of people love it - I'm just warning you...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I've got about 20 on my shelf still to be read - I stopped buying books a few months back because otherwise the number of unread books was just going to go through the roof. Still left to read: My Story by Dave Pelzer Eldest by Christopher Paolini Maximum Ride by James Patterson Whiteout...
