Yeah you say what you want about the dogs and all - but with that mum prioritising like that it sounds a bit like those dogs were her fav children and were allowed to get away with anything - never getting any discipline. No wonder they get out of control then. *shakes head* Some people...

Seen that one before. And I can't help but wonder... what meant more to that mum? Her son or her dogs? She locked her SON in the basement while the dogs were free to roam the house! What kind of prioritising is that? Ahem, anyways. What with pits having been bred for aggressiveness and...

Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto That book is hilarious. SO funny.

Finished Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. Interesting book. Written in a sometimes confusing style, but once you get to know it it flows rather nicely. Has an interesting ending - quite remarkable.

I'll second Stewart's question though. Was the purpose of this thread only to list our fav 'serial authors'? Or was there another point with it?

Leif Davidsen. It's sort of a crime novel, only our 'hero' is neither a police nor a private investigator - he is in fact a photographer. The book's been translated as Lime's Photograph. It's a good mystery novel if you're into that sort of thing :)

I doubt any of us are in a hurry :P

I don't? *checks* Must be because I seldom fill out enormous amounts of details on forum profiles... everytime something changes I have to update on 50 different fora across the internet - gets tedious. Perhaps I should go fill out my profile here abit :P

Anselm Audley's Aquasilva Trilogy consisting of Heresy, Inquisition and Crusade. There are three main characters two of which are female. And yep, they're strong, according to the male 1st person narrator they're probably both physically stronger than him. And those three friends take...

Personally I disliked Catcher in the Rye. I'm not quite sure why it has become such a classic. Perhaps because it's from a time when novels about being young were relatively new and this one was the best they had to offer? Was 18 when I read it... found it utterly insignificant.

Hi flower, nice to see a fellow Dane around here :) A random recommendation of a Danish book: Limes Billede. Brilliant book. Ever read it?

Paperbacks mostly. Being a poor student the fact that they're cheaper means much to me. Also it's about the room. Once again, being the poor student that I am, I live in a one-room apartment with limited room for bookshelves, so if I can save space on buying paperbacks instead of hardbacks...

If I really have nothing to use as a bookmark I memorize the page number. But that only works for one book at a time. Can't walk around with 9 page numbers memorized :P I have the authorized boomarks with neat artwork - quite the collection by now... and they do get worn out *cries*...

I am almost always somewhere in one of Tolkien's works... though by now it has been left alone for quite some time. Since I started university I've had precious little time to read books I've picked myself. But mostly I have at least two books going at once. These days also because there's...

I run into my first first name every time someone calls their grandma by the classic nickname - yep, you guessed it, my name is Nanna. Thus also the reason I took a second first name, so when talking to native English speakers I can present myself with a name that won't get me the reaction "Heh...

My favs Anselm Audley - Aquasilva Tolkien - no further comment Edward Rutherfurd - not really a series as such but all his 'lineage' books Sarum, London, The Forest, Dublin... to me they count :P Stephen Donaldson - Thomas Covenant James Clavell - Asia C.S. Lewis - Narnia and because...

When I was a child I got sick from reading in the car, but now I've no problem with it.

The Palace of Heavenly Pleasure by Adam Williams Stumbled across it for next to nothing - looks like it's worth my time, so I brought it home along with... Q by Luther Blissett Takes place around the time Martin Luther started the reformation process in 1517 and is about controversies...

The Aquasilva Trilogy - great books. It's fantasy, but with strong paralels to certain parts of our own history. It's written by Anselm Audley who studies History at Oxford University, so he knows what History means to a culture and he knows how to play around with the concept of writing and...

Heh wears me out too, but I'm doing a bit of gambling here. Music and literature are my main hobbies (aside from role-playing, mind you, but they don't offer university educations in role-playing) so now I'm simply studying my hobbies, meaning: I'll be expected to read at least 500 pages a...
