    I've not noticed any discussions on here, so it would be impossible for Peder to kill that which does not live.:sad:

    Sue Monk Kidd: The Secret Life Of Bees

    I hated it. Too much padding and repetition for so little story and characterization.

    Irvine Welsh: Trainspotting

    I've just read Marabou Stork Nightmares. I loved Trainspotting, this is every bit as good. Deeper and even darker, it really helps with the understanding of mindless violence. The accent reading problem some of you have with Irvine Welsh I can understand it took me a while with...

    I'm half way through this now. I love it and really can't understand all the negative musings from many of you. I'll report back when I finish.

    September 2009: Markus Zusak: The Book Thief

    I read it a few years ago and remember enjoying it. It made me a little more sympathetic about the behavior ordinary of German civilians.

    Time to Play: Ask the Opposite Sex!

    I should have asked a man question, but I forgot. T'will come this time. 1.)Why are you all so annoying at the gym when you talk to one another instead of, I don't know......working out!? Women go to the gym to pull - men. They get there and find all males are gayly interested in each...

    Time to Play: Ask the Opposite Sex!

    saliotthomas -' Because they usualy are sex enthusiats.' I have to question you on this as it's a mystery to me. There's an old saying - ''You don't look at the mantelpiece when you're poking the fire.'' If it's sex you want, surely you've got more chance with an unattractive female? Less...

    Time to Play: Ask the Opposite Sex!

    I'd say it's because they know a lot of 'celebrities' collect shoes. So, forgetting that said 'celebrities' are given the shoes on condition that they talk about them as much as possible, they play follow my lead sheep in their certain hope it will turn them into a boring z list no-chancer too...

    similar to Charles Bukowski

    I loved all Bukowski's novels except Women. Try some more, and his short stories are great too. John Fante 'Ask the Dust' I loved but not so much his others. His son Dan Fante I enjoyed more. Hubert Selby jnr - Last Exit to Brooklyn. All very direct writers who tell a great story.
