... that book is based on The Count Of Monte Cristo. He has also written a factual book about his trip to Peru with a team to save the spectacled bear. It is quite funny and truthful, and there are good pics too.

Has anyone read any Stephen Fry books? I started off having a flip through Moab Is My Washpot, and then found myself voraciously going through his entire output so far. I think Making History is one of his best books - it is so moving. :o ... mind you, I do wish he wouldn't write such...

I quite agree, though personally I'm not into the smell of a book *ahem* It is nice to hold a book and read it. I think this is why e-books haven't taken off that much.

I believe you can also get plastic covers to protect paperbacks too.

Dare I say, what about some chick-lit? Some of it is quite good. I particularly like 'Working Wonders' by Jenny Colgan. It is based on the arthurian legend.

Hi there, welcome aboard :) I only joined recently and find this is a great forum. :D

An interesting point. I wonder if RF is too good looking to play such a baddie? Perhaps an uglier actor would have been a better choice? Or an older one?

I know how to make chicken soup, in fact I have a recipe for it on my own web site </shameless plug>

To choose only one book, now that is difficult. I think I would say Animal Farm, but I am likely to change my mind!

I like the character of Snape because he is the baddy you love to hate, and Alan Rickman is the icing on the cake ;)

I wouldn't let a child read anything unsuitable for their particular age group, ie teenage angst stories for an under 10. Also any very strong language and explicit sexual content, or graphic violent content would be a no no.

The Complete Robot by Issac Azimov (a collection of all his robot stories) The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime by Mark Haddon

The Queen & I was very funny indeed, one of Townsends best. Another book I was not so pleased with is 'Always Unreliable' by Clive James. I have long been a fan of his wit and intelligence and looked forward to reading about his life (the AU is a collection of 3 vols of his autobiography)...

Are there any books you wish you had never bought and wasted your time reading? Personally, I wish I had left 'No. 10' by Sue Townsend on amazon's book shelves. Far from the funny satire she usually writes, it is just the most depressing, boring, creepy book there is. If she wants to make...

Outkast, The Darkness, Beyoncé, and Maksim Mrvica are on my play list at the mo' :cool:

The thing about Snape is he is living in the past. He cannot let go of what happened to him. He did have a bad childhood (from what we can tell), but this is no excuse to bully school kids in his adult life. I think one of the reasons Snape is such a popular character is because of Alan...

'Harry Potter', Nicole de Buron books, Dumas, and Stephen Fry books

The Sculptress by erm.. can't remember :confused: It was about this very fat woman who supposedly murdered and her mother and step father... very grusome and creepy. :eek:

that's right I am a Yorkshire Lass ... and I have a cooking site - erm... I'm in the process of redoing it and learning php is proving to be quite the learning curve. :rolleyes:

.net magasine, The Garden, and some rubbishy womens stuff :o
