I just want to point out, this isn't an attempt to flame or upset people, just offering a couple of different viewpoints. One thing which I think should be considered when it comes to the death penalty is this: is it fair to let this criminal off from their suffering? Quite often, child...

*runs to ensure she's the first person to say hi* Hello there & welcome to the book forum. Must confess, libraries are lovely are so great I'm surprised that they are legal ;) What sort of books do you enjoy reading?

Thanks Jenn, I have to believe in randomness as my husband is one of the most random people alive ;). If you think about it, it's where the term "to sleep on it" comes from - the brain has the best chance of resolving problems when in a dream-like state. Also, it is believed by some that...

Paedophiles are one of those sectors of criminals where there is no possible punishment which befits such a heinous crime, even other criminals absolutely despise them. As Moto mentioned, they also tend to be the worst for repeat offending, but what exactly can be done in a humane society...

roflmao What do you say Stewart? Do you fancy a break away?

I dunno ... #23 must be one of my favs This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long, long time

lmao Dreaming about teeth, or even hair, falling out is allegedly fear of growing old. Regarding the original question, if you consider that dreams are supposed to be the minds way of unwinding & resolving problems, then there's nothing wrong with enjoying dreams. On the other hand, once it...

I was going to say Paul Burrell, then I saw he was on the list of incorrect guesses. My husband seems pretty certain it's Terry Gilliam though. I honestly think it's a female though - look closely at the eyes.

Whilst depression may cause some people to seek the escapism that books can offer, one of the well known problems with depression is that it can badly affect both concentration, attention span & memory.

Another person siding with general consensus here, I don’t think it is by any means cheating if you’re listening to an audio book for pleasure, however if it’s a set book for a course then I would consider it differently. I tend to only listen to audio books I have already read the...

In theory, I believe a jury should be 12 people who are open minded enough to base their decisions on the fact of the case and nothing else. Things such as income, gender, age, career race etc should not be an issue. Back in the real world, how would anyone even go about amassing these 12...

Why thank you - don't mind if I do yum ... maybe another couple

Thanks for that, I've been searching around trying to remember where I'd seen it in the first place - you've saved me from being kept awake all night now. *hugs* (especially if you do look like Aragorn :p)

Must merely be my psychic abilities creeping through again then. Seriously though, I must have read it in an interview with JK Rowling somewhere then. I think it may have been on Mugglenet.com

I might try checking out the FF film at some point then, even if it's just to check out someone else's interpretation of that world. *looks embarrassed* I have a sinful confession to make ... I don't own a PS2 *hides head in shame* That said, IGN seem to think very highly of it. I agree...

I guess my main difficulty stems from the fact it merely seems obsessed with class & status & getting people married off but very little else. I do appreciate it's hardly modern day & therefore maybe reading up on the social situations at the time may help a little, but I don't think any book...

I only wish I could suggest something to you, as it sounds like you are a truly supportive friend who's trying to help out. When I was trying for a child, I found a book calledGetting Pregnant by Lauerson & Bouchez really, really useful, but going by your post I'm guessing you want something...

Pride & Prejudice is one of the highest selling books ever & I am totally bewildered as to why. I tried soooooooooo hard to read it, but urgh, I just couldn't

Whilst I must confess to having a particular weakness for Minsc & Boo ... if we're including games then I think it'll have to be the Goron King in Zelda! There's no way on this planet I could vote for Zelda herself, after all, the insurance on that girl must be pretty high after how often she's...

Final Fantasy games are addictive (though I never could get into Crystal Chronicles) and Zelda games even more so (please - no classing the wind waker as a Zelda game) but no one has mentioned Tales of Symphonia. I know it's not a series, but it's been ages since a game's lasted this long for...
