When I was in school, we had summer reading lists and I read them all. Loved it! Introduced me to books I may or may not have found on my own. I lament the fact that here in Australia, my daughter isn't asked to read any book in particular. If she were to be asked, maybe one might tickle her...

I have a few signed books. I have a signed Christopher Fowler, but no-one seems to read him! A few Aussie authors and of course, my mother's books.

Lake Wobegon Days by Garrison Keillor.... for the 10th time.

Have you ever seen the flick named only The Pool? He who hates dog fur nearly screams every time he sees the box at the video rental place! It was like watching a train wreck, it was soo bad, but we watched it beginning to end with no fast forwarding.

I tend to host Japanese style dinner parties as I adore Japanese food! It's so time consuming and detailed but sooo delicious. I wouldn't attempt teppanyaki because that would be a shambles and I'd be too humiliated to show my face around any good Japanese restaurant!

Saw this film over the weekend called Freaks. The acting was horrible! I battled through. Anyone else seen this? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022913/

lies - I didn't get the one with her name removed! Haha! Another one..... never get a spider web tattoo!

A 1932 file called "Freaks". Interesting. VERY bad acting but I liked the freaks going after the baddy! That was a BIT 'freaky".

My body is my temple. I have many tattooes. I got them before they were trendoid. However; I can wear a singlet and you cannot see them. My first has my daughter's name on it. I have had one removed and that hurt and was VERY expensive. As far as piercings... yep, some of them too. When...

I belong to a coupld of "Booklovers" clubs attached to my two favourite book shops. I read those and occasionally he who mostly reads newspapers (and pictorials at that) will say "Hey, don't you like Robert Crais". He knows my authors but fails to realise that generally, by the time the book...

"Witness" survivors' stories of the holocaust - as usual, tear inducing.

Witness, another holocaust book. Versions of people who survived the time. Gripping and sad so far!

"Gabriel's Lament" by Paul Bailey. I don't understand entirely. Can anyone elucidate? Twin sister? Huh?

Good for you Novella!

I liked Blade Runner but wouldn't have thought it to be in the top 100. I've seen some of these movies. Some good, some bad. It's the critics choice.... Our local critic hates everything that isn't foreign. He's annoying.

Good luck you two!!!!!

YOU stated that "withdrawal symptoms are painless". That seems global to me. I am being defensive because you're stating your facts from a personal view rather than a medical (or let's just think about the popular and normal) view. As far as 'can' or 'will', why do you think there are so...

"Side Effects of Quitting Nicotine affects the brain with seconds of inhaling cigarette smoke. It increases the heart rate and blood pressure, constricts the small blood vessels under your skin, causes changes in blood composition and metabolism, and increases the production of hormones...

Actually Stewart, the pang does NOT go "within seconds". Read earlier posts about how deep the addiction runs in different situations. Holier than thou ex-smokers... grrr! Every experience is different. If I must get you proof on the withdrawal symptoms, I will have to ask my cohorts for...

"An ex-smoker doesn't feel nicotine leave their body. The withdrawal symptons are painless. All the 'Oh! I need a cigarette' talk spouted by 'quitters' is purely in the mind." The withdrawal symptoms ARE felt. It's medically proven. Are you an ex-smoker with delusions or a non-smoker? I felt...
