    Book about a Vampire

    To me it sounds like Christopher Pike's Last Vampire series. Although I've only read books 3-5 out of the 6 so I can't be too sure on all the details. If it isn't the right one try this vampire book database: http://www.vampires.nu/pages/Books.cfm/PageID/22

    What should you be doing?

    Studying for my Human Biology exam... which is on Tuesday. I've been doing lots of things to avoid studying. Reading, eating, editing wikipedia, browsing forums, and trying to find my standard grade certificate from last year (which I swear I haven't lost :o ).

    Chinese Historical Fiction

    This is strange because I'm reading Empress Orchid by Anchee Min at the moment and have also started to wonder more about Chinese history. :p Before I was more interested in Japanese history, but my interest has grow. I have Wild Swans on my TBR pile too and hopefully I'll get to read it soon...

    New Site Design - Why?

    The colour isn't exactly my cup of tea either... but I guess I can learn to get used to it. Or perhaps we could have the option of using a different skin, like the old one. It could be called Nostalgia. :p One little thing I don't really like is the fact that theres adverts between the posts...

    Why do we like collecting books?

    I have many reasons. I'll only mention a few though... I just love to collect things. I'm a junky for old beads and buttons off the ground. I have stamp collections, Magic the Gathering cards, and even my old Pokemon cards! Yes, I am a nerd, and darn proud of it. :p Since I mainly get my...

    Margaret Atwood: The Blind Assassin

    It was quite confusing at times. I did have to go back a few paragraphs every now and then when I became confused by whether it was present or past. I don't like giving up on books and I'm glad I didn't with this one. I agree that it was another of her times when she was avoiding being...

    Worst Stephen King Novels

    In my opinion Cujo was the worst I've read (though I've only read three of his books).

    What is your favorite guilty pleasure?

    I wouldn't normally point something like this out, but there is already a topic about guilty plessures, and it is active (last post was yesterday). http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=10942

    Book database for a personal to read list.

    Library Thing is great, but since you can only list 200 for free I use Listal for my TBR list. http://www.listal.com/

    top five on your TBR list?

    Thought I'd dig this up to see what everyone else has stacked up. I also thought if I post the 5 I think I'll read next I can see how far I stray from it. :p 1. The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger 2. Eragon - Christopher Paolini 3. Industrial Magic - Kelley Armstrong 4. Haunted...

    Happy Birthday Monkeycatcher

    Thought I'd pop over here to say Happy Birthday to you MC. (Theres a birthday topic for you and four other people at another forum I frequent. I remember seeing you there once, but I don't think you visit anymore. :p) Happy Birthday! Have a great day! :D

    Everyones favorite types of music!??!

    At the moment I've mainly been listening to cello rock (Rasputina) and punk cabaret (The Dresden Dolls) with a bit of J-(Japanese) and K-(Korean) pop/rock thrown in. I like quite a lot of rock and punk music, including some of the heavier stuff. I can't stand rap or county, and a lot of newer...

    Margaret Atwood: The Blind Assassin

    I finished reading The Blind Assassin today and after reading through this discussion I feel like digging it up again and throwing in my thoughts, however insignificant they may be in comparision to others. On the note of clothing I agree that it did play a major part in showing what women...

    Your Name, Gender & Age...

    Laura Female 16 Its much easier to have a thread like this than to look in everyones profile. Part of the fun of threads like this is seeing people admit they thought certain people were a different gender than they state. :)

    Who do you trust for book recommendations?

    Oh yeh. But if I start looking for books on there I start doing edits and making a list of pages I want to try and expand. :confused:

    Who do you trust for book recommendations?

    Same here. Since joining here the number of books I own has multiplied many times over and my to be read list has gotten out of control. :p I have surprisingly few friends that I actually trust to give a recommendation on books. I know one that would probably give me a half decent fantasy...

    Mapping your favourite authors

    Hmm... an author they recommend if I liked Alice Sebold is Anonymous. :confused: And also Destojevski (which even I know is a spelling error). Other than the spelling errors one thing that can be annoying is that if you leave it for a while everything drifts further and further til they overlap..
