    The Princess Bride

    I still haven't got my book back to check, but am sure it was a different address now. It looks like this may be a quest to find out if it's real and what the address is :) Mxx

    i want to speed my reading

    depends on so many things such as the mood I'm in, the story, the text size, where I am when reading and so on. If conditions are good I would read about 100 pages per hour...not sure that's classed as speed reading though. I don't 'speed read' in the sense of scanning each line for...

    New Releases...

    most boostores have a list of books, in the same way that videostores have a list of movies and dates of release. Even libraries would provide them I imagine. I'm sure you could convince them to give you a copy. Mxx

    BBC's The Big Read - Top 100

    Most of the childrens ones on there I would say are voted for by adults who 'remember them fondly'. Watership down for example - although that is probably in there for a fondness of the film and not the book. I absolutely loved Holes, especially the way it handled racism and the beautiflly...

    BBC's The Big Read - Top 100

    34 and counting. I'm trying to keep track of them in a table for the members of another book forum and it's getting harder as more people submit. I would like to work my way through all of them - and have about ten or fifteen of them in my collection of which I haven't read yet. The...

    Next fantsy book? Newbie fantasy-reader need advise!

    Hi there Jonas, welcome to the forum. As you have stated, there are plenty of links here, and with an enthusiasm like yours it is to be hoped that this site will be the one people mention when someone asks 'is there something like IMDB for books?' - so get reviewing :o) Now then, not...

    Avatar Links

    I'm not too sure what you mean by a link? The avatars have to be a certain width, height and size - 64 by 64 pixels or 20000 bytes - so whatever image you use it can't be outside of these proportions. If the image you want is too big it's best to shrink it in a graphics package and then...

    Book Review Magazines

    Ha, for some reason I forgot to mention that Waterstones issue a quarterly magazine called 'Books Magazine' which is very nice indeed, possibly even better than the Lit Rev depending on what kind of thing you are looking for. It's £2.50 (I think) but you get it free if you spend over £20 (I...

    Book Review Magazines

    I enjoy the 'Literary Review' magazine which is published monthly for £3.00 and is available from all good book/magazine stores (also known as 'Borders' :) ). If you can't see it I'm sure your local newsagent can order it, as I used to get my local newsagent to do so when I lived in a small...

    Modern art

    I'm a member of the Tate Modern in London and the 'modern' art they show there is mostly okay because they are sculptures and other pieces that are in some ways thought provoking. My favourtite piece there is by Michael Crag Martin and consists of a glass of water on a shelf which is actually...

    Book of the Month - Sept to Dec 2003

    There are way too many books to suggest, so I propose the following 'themes' to consider suggestions for. Debut Novels - obviously this would be an authors debut novel, for which I will suggest Donna Tartt's 'Secret History' Classics - (including modern) I suggest The Egoist by George...
