If I just write it can be for me. My kids can publish when I'm dead. If I write AND attepmt to publish I must believe that everyone has the right to hear my opinion--so much so that they're willing to pay for it. If I write just for the money--and everyone wants to get paid for what they...

Ever? Thats a tall order....Hmm.... Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Hogan's Giants Series Asimov's Foundation Trilogy (It used to be a Trilogy) Greg Bear Forge of God Jules Verne ought to be in there somewhere too and Ben Bova, but I can't think of the...

I read through Xenocide and quit. I think Enders Game is good enough to be a stand alone classic, but I wasn't impressed with the rest.

Well its hard not to like Garion--he's a little dense sometimes, but he's a great character. It was refreshing to read Belgarath who was a powerful sorcerer, but more human than Gandalf could ever be. It was masterful the way Eddings brought all the strands of the story to bear at the end...

The obvious quesion: Is the user base sensible enough for a political forum? should be answered before anything like this is implemented.

Does being turned into fewmets count?

I just finished The Belgariad by David Eddings and had to adjust my list. It was probably the best fantasy read I've had since Tolkein.

I noticed that when I go back to books I blew through there is plenty I missed. Sometimes you just can't help yourself though.

If I'm not mistaken the Mods can also clip out OT posts or move them to another thread. Perhaps if there was a Flameout section they(the Mods) could trim offensive/slanging/flame-oriented posts and stuff them all in that area or, after repeated offenses, just delete the posts altogether. That...

John Cleese, Eric whatsisname and the younger guy from Eric the Viking are all hilarious. But John Cleese...that guy can make me laugh by wiggling an eyebrow. Thats talent.

And the winner is...uh, who's the winner?

I think the main issue isn't NOT discussing politics and religion but keeping it from spilling over into other areas of the site. You know its going to blow up sooner or later. (People have started wars over those topics, how can they be expected to be civil about them in a relatively...

TWIT! I knew it was something like that. Great. Upper Middle Class Twit of the Year wasn't it? Its all coming back now...

Its typical that and I like to think its because most male writers can't write female characters very well. I hope thats why anyhow. I thought there was probably an average amount of sex in the Xanth novels I read (only the first 13 or so, which barely scratches the surface I know) compared to...

General Chat probably generates membership and its fairly common for it to be the largest section of any forum. Some folks like books AND like to talk to other people. Go figure. So what if large numbers of people write about donkeys and tell you to **** off a lot? *shrug* Just don't read...

If its anything like some of the movies they've released based on old TV shows its probably going to get butchered. What, other than better special effects, can they hope to gain over the original TV series? :D

Hey I wouldn't let my kids watch the thing either because they're little. Thats one of many great things about America. I am free to turn the TV on or off as I see fit. And as a parent I should monitor what my kids watch. I definitely DON'T want my four year old asking me "Daddy why is that...

I used to watch Monty Python on PBS. It came on right after Dr. Who and before Benny Hill. Great stuff. I liked the race between the stupid men. I can't remember what the British word for it was. Anyway, one of them won by running himself over or something like that. I used to laugh...

As long as you're reading who cares? And it sounds like you might get more out of re-readings than the average bear. Good for you!

Ashlea said "lots of sex" Chewy said "sexist". Do you mean the story was sexist? Or you didn't enjoy the way the writer treated women in it? Or there was a lot of sexual situations? Or what?
