    Wilkie Collins: The Woman in White

    Has anyone else read this? I read somewhere (don't remember where) that it was considered to be the first mystery novel. I'm about 100 pages from finishing, and I am loving every word of it!

    Rent vs rent the movie?

    I thought Rosario did a great job. You have to remember she hasn't been living with the material for 10 years like almost everyone else. I think they did the best possible job they could to bring it to life on the screen. I get to meet Anthony Rapp on Saturday. I'm very excited!

    TBF: Moderation Issues

    I haven't noticed much of the issues because I'm really new. I do think the "no political or religion" talk is silly in a book forum. Mods closing threads because they could get offensive later is a foreign concept to me. In almost every forum I post in, the mods take of the thread when it...

    New Reader

    Try Neil Gaiman. I really liked Neverwhere, and just about everyone I work with has read it and loved it too. Two of his other books Anansi Boys and American Gods take a lot of mythology and mix them with his story. I thought they were really clever. His stuff reads sort of like fairy tales...

    Why do you read fiction?

    because even though I enjoy reading nonfiction, there are times when I like to completely dispell reality for a while.
