    Happy Birthday Mari!!

    I'm a little late for the celebrations, but I hope it was a great one! Oh, and if your book worm didn't arrive, then I've got my fingers crossed for ebola. Come oooon ebola!

    Hi everybody

    Welcome, Cheshire! What type of books do you like to read?

    Robertson Davies: Fifth Business

    But if you realised this on Saturday, then you could have gone to the library to get a copy of the book. Or alternatively called someone who has the book to borrow it for a few moments to find those quotes you already had picked out. Or even gone to a bookstore. If you'd read the book then you...

    Calendars

    I really hate getting calendars as gifts, because every gosh darn year I get 3 or 4 as christmas presents... and they're usually cat calendars, a hang over from when I was a kid and adored cats. Sure, I love cats, but after some 20 years of having cat calendars on your wall you get a teensy bit...

    I got a job...

    Good on you!! I just left a message regarding Aussie baked goods on the heart/mind thread. Congratulations! What kind of goodies do they sell? And do they ship to Canada? :D

    Attending the theatre-do you?

    I knew I missed one - Fame. The only professional production where I came away feeling a little disappointed. Hey, novella. Don't suppose you ever went to see Paul Simon's The Capeman? I know it didn't last very long and bombed dismally... I love the soundtrack though.

    Recommend a very good (semi-)obscure fantasy/sf book

    Oops! Didn't notice it said "sci-fi/fantasy" in the title!!

    Why do boys hate reading?

    I like this quote. I think you could also say "change his friends" - if he suddenly revelled in his work, you never know... they may get the message that it's okay to excell. That's what happened at my high school in 11th or 12th grade. Suddenly it was okay to excell and want to do well. I think...

    which path?

    Sorry to hear all is not well, but I applaud your looking for something better. My best thoughts are with you :). Australian Bakery?? Oh, what I wouldn't give for one of them here... homemade meat pies and pasties... donuts with real jam inside... apple cakes... bread that the baker will...

    Which Laptop? H E L P Please....

    The reality is that any laptop you buy will be out of date before you leave the store. That's why it's really important that *you* are happy with the computer you buy and it suits *your* needs. I'm not trying to fob you off here (and I know far less about computers than other forum members!)...

    Which Laptop? H E L P Please....

    Remember - it's not just about the model number, but what it comes with. For example you need to think about RAM (how fast will it process things?), Hard Drive Space (how much stuff do you need to store on it) and what operating system you want (Windows or Mac). The best thing to do is take an...

    Attending the theatre-do you?

    During my high school years I saw a big production in Melbourne each year - it started with my school taking us, but I loved it so much that I started going to shows with my parents and later with my friends. I just adore the theatre - there's something magical about seeing a live performance...

    In the US?? You haven't left Oz for good, have you?

    The Wiggles......why?

    I reckon you're just jealous that you aren't making millions by jumping about being happy, singing about pirates, octopi and dinosaurs while wearing colourful skivvies! Kids back home love this stuff, and quite frankly I think it's great. These guys are presenting innocent songs that kids can...

    which path?

    Good point, it depends on the situation. Right now I'm trying to follow my heart and my head is producing all sorts of rational reasons not to... but I know *deep down* that my heart is right. On the flip-side, there are many times that my heart may have ambitions in one direction, but my head...

    Hi! I'm new here.

    Welcome to the Forum! I'm a fantasy lover too - what have you been reading recently?

    First Post--Hello

    Hey rat and welcome to TBF!! I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself on here - maybe you'll get enough confidence about talking about books to go to a local bookclub meeting? I think they sound like fun, but I wouldn't want one in my home... too much opportunity for weirdos. You could always start one...

    which path?

    You've got to listen to the heart. The head can always rationalise the 'easy' solution, but that may not be what you know, deep down in your heart, is the 'right' or 'fair' solution. It's a balance. Neither can be ignored, but they both have to agree in the end.
