Another person who's joined stating Scotland is sunny? It certainly never used to be when I was there :D Welcome to the forum jintyblue, feel free to join in any of the ongoing discussions or start your own. Mxx note to members: welcomes to jintyblue in here, answers to the above...

Hi there jintyblue, welcome to the forum. If you can find those books for new online I would take about 25% from the coverprice, detracting slightly more if the conditions of the books warrants it. With the boxset, if they are paperback, I would say to price it at around £10. It may be...

hmm...pity that. :D Mxx

I hate them too, and yes, she could very well do it. Although I'm sure her awakening scene would last for 64 pages. Mxx

He'll wake up and it was all a dream... :D Mxx

The third installment was by far the greatest of the books, truely hinting at the darkness, the mystery and alright writing too. OotP was the worst so far, in my opinion, and could have been a lot shorter. Fair enough, Harry is a teenager and is bound to be angsty, but she put a little too...

I noticed this was out in borders, but not in Waterstones, and the release date is Wednesday - how odd? Anyhoo, after reading Chocolate and Five Quarters of the Orange, I had found them to be too 'samey' in content and style and, although they were not bad books, it put me off reading any...

Subtitles are on all the way through, except when there's a lot of activity and they miss the occasional comment - but that's really not needed. Mxx

Windows 98 ADSL, going through a 4 hub router as we have a Windows ME machine and a laptop with XP on it too. 512kbps Top download speed is about 200 kbps depending on the source Mxx

um...I was kidding about A Suitable Boy - it's almost as long as War and Peace :eek: ah well...it'll knock a couple more notches into The BBCs Big Read Top 100 :D Mxx

They are hardback and are black and white covers...nice and plain, decent quality books. Most of them go for £9.99 but are sometimes on sale for £6.99. I also collect the Everyman's Wodehouse - which feature gorgeous covers, such as this: They make me very happy indeed too. Mxx

and before you all groan...think yourselves lucky I said I was reading War and Peace and not the old and new testaments of the Bible: King James version. :D Good idea Darren...moral support from a group is good for a book this huge. And as for July...anyone read A Suitable Boy? :p Mxx

I'm collecting the Everyman's Library books and will always buy a book I want in that range if they have it. They have the box set of War & Peace on amazon for £25, comes in three volumes. This will look nice on my shelf and also make it easier to read as a 'trilogy' type thing :) ) Mxx

That's a good idea. I did that for my first reading of The God of Small Things, simply because the same people can be called different things by different people, and I was not familiar with Indian family petnames. I'm not a huge fan of historical novels, but what have I got to lose? (well...

It goes through all stations of the cross, Jesus falling three times, being visited by his mother, helped by Simon to carry the cross, wiping his face on the cloth from Veronica etc. I'm not disputing that the devil should be in the film, I'm disputing the way he was shown both as a point to...

Has anyone read this? Myself and a few others are planning to start it in May, and lend moral support to each other for wading through it so that we can actually read it and see what all the fuss is about. I would be interested to hear views of those who have read it beforehand, such as...

I'm not sure you can ruin the novel if you are describing the opening scenes from it. Surely that's the part everyone reads first and so nothing is a spoiler...right? :D Anyhoo, The Prayer for Owen Meany, where the narrator tells of his belief in God due to the boy with the 'wrecked voice'...

Hi there Steve, welcome to the forum :) 'Sunny Scotland'?? Do you often write in oxymorons? :D Mxx

Went to see it this afternoon and must say it is fantastic. Can't really say I enjoyed it, as it;s not the type of film you can actually enjoy watching, but it was very well done and very horrific. Various times throughout the film I found myself averting my eyes from the screen, telling...

August 2004. Advance screenings will probably commence late July. I was at the advance of Pas Sur La Bouche last week and that had stars present from the films featured in this years Reanault French Film Season, which is where I saw the clip for it, and found the advance date. Um....my...
