If I've hired the book from the library, I use the receipt so I don't forget when it goes back.

That's because they have to have been printed a certain number of years ago (50, from recollection?) before you can legally distribute them for free. Gutenberg is not the only website that provides free books. Fictionwise.com has both free ebooks and more modern ones that you can purchase...

I disagree. Bananas are a lot tastier.

The day was grey and bitter cold, and the dogs would not take the scent. -- A Storm of Swords by George R R Martin

Haha thanks for the idea, but there's no use getting it when whispernet won't work. I've been having a look around, and I'm this close to buying a BeBook. Does anyone else here know of someone who has one?

Oo thanks I'll check them out. Although the main thing that attracts me to the Kindle is the 24/7 access to Wiki. That would be incredibly useful, as I'm always writing down subjects to look up the next time I'm online.

I hope they get all that sorted soon if that's the case. It's my 21st soon, and I'm sure I can coerce someone into buying it for me - with an added pretty please and a cherry on top, of course.

I really don't know what your beliefs are (again, this is because Christians are able to pick and choose between numerous doctrines). My point about flawed premises was pointed at Christians at large, rather than you in particular, based on what is generally accepted to be their main shared...

I read these too and I loved them. I think that the Lioness Rampant quartet comes first, though.

I read this in December of last year, and while I understand why teenagers would hold it in such high regard, I wasn't really impressed with it. I don't think that Meyer is a very good writer - she spends too much time pointing out the obvious rather than placing trust in the intelligence of her...

I'm dying a little on the inside because of the fact that these are only available in the USA. Any word on when they are going to be bringing one out for international use?

Peder was suggesting that athiests think that they know more about Christian teachings etc than Christians do. I was pointing out that it's not a case of knowing more, but a case of viewing the teachings without blinkers - a case of seeing the teachings as they really are, rathering than trying...

I disagree - I don't think that non-believers do claim that. I think that non-believers do have a more clarified view of what religions actually hold to be true, because they have to need to fuzz over "outdated" details in order for the beliefs to seem more acceptable in this modern age...

The Trial -- Franz Kafka 50c at the local thrift store.

Why should non-believers not have access to that knowledge? You can understand another's viewpoint without sharing it. The difference is that Dawkins provides facts and reason to explain why he believes what he believes.

Maybe Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

FM's right - I don't think that the two can be compared. I was quite disappointed with Dune. I think it was more a case of having over-hyped expectations than anything else.

A Storm of Swords -- George R.R. Martin

He lay flat on the brown, pine-needled floor of the forest, his chin on his folded arms, and high overhead the wind blew in the tops of the pine trees. For Whom the Bell Tolls -- Ernest Hemingway

Same here - minus the coffee.
