wow. It that's not a violent reaction to my comment, I don't know what is. Hah!

I got a solution! I got a solution! What you can do to get out of your situation is borrow it off a friend and 'mislay' it yourself! Go on... break the cycle. In fact, I'll even go as far as to lend you mine. Oh, wait. Sorry. Just remembered that I'm kinda in the same situation as you... :D

Aaaaahhh. Now I get it... Thanks tartan!:D

Had a passage from Catch 22 in mind. But I suppose this will have to do till I get another copy of that book:o ... 1. Q: What do you call a man with a seagull on his head? A: Cliff 2. Q: What do you call a man with a shovel in his head? A: Doug 3. Q: What do you call a man without a...

John Cleese?? The Screwtape Letters?? I've read the book and loved how thought-provoking and funny it is at the same time. John Cleese reading this would be perfect!! Thank you so much! Will definitely start scouting around for it now. Yay! Something to look forward to this Christmas.

Proust is scary and intimidating the way King Kong foaming in the mouth whilst inspecting you is... :( I have always wanted to read him but memories of a 7 volume (7!!) edition (beautifully bound, no less) of In Search of Lost Time keep looming in my head... Could you recommend a good...

Ah, she is to me the mistress of the semi-colon...:) My introduction to Woolfe started with The Waves. In retrospect, I really don't think that that was a smart move coz it put me off Woolfe for quite some time before I tried venturing once again with Orlando. As strange as it was, I found...

I remember picking up a book of Bukowski's coz i was attracted to the cover (yes, i have silly moments like that...). I don't remember which it was but I do remember that I thought the poems were narcissistic, chauvinistic, crude and utterly boarish. So i put it back on the shelf and walked...

The only book I've read from Faulks is Charlotte Grey. Although it wasn't a fantastic read (6.5/10), it has one of the most beautiful lines to have ever been written in the English Language, I feel. Why was I so fearful? She had time only to phrase the question to herself before sleep...

I kinda thought that that was the whole point about the book. A circular argument from which where is no way out. Plus, conflicts don't always have resolutions and villians don't always get what they deserve in life. Thus, we get to follow a Yossarian who gets more and more desperate as the...

Wow. I here I was being pleased with myself for having finished reading the books that I did... Exile and the Kingdom ~ Albert Camus (cool) Sputnik Sweetheart ~ Haruki Murakami (strange) A Room with a View ~ EM Forster (sucked) Tom Jones ~ Henry Fielding (hmm...) I don't supposed...

Can I cheat and mention a movie that should have stayed a book instead? Okay, here it goes (I'm so going to be outcasted for this) ... Lord of the Rings *starts moving ceaselessly and rapidly to dodge torrent of flying objects*

I found Lady C quite alienating. While the plot drives her actions forward on a macro level, I couldn't grasp the way she thought or act. She was strangely un-woman. And the "sex scenes" for which the book was infamous? Pleeeeaaasssee... look who's playing guessing games now. I don't like...

Okay, I know that this comment is a tiny bit late, but I'm just surprised that no one commented on this being THE FUNNIEST BOOK EVER written in the history of man! But I have to admit that books tend to depreciate in enjoyment value when it gets shoved down one's throat. DH Lawrence's...
