    Needing music reviews

    Is the character currently online so we can see it as an example of what kind of thing you are aiming at with the site. It sounds like a good idea, would be nice to see it in progress. Mxx

    Greetings, all

    No problem, just easier to reply in topic in another thread than to completely take over Gryphon's. :) Mxx

    Should that post not be in the 'general chat' area? Mxx

    Reviews - possible to improve?

    It does indeed look like a very nice database running behind the scenes, more so than it appeared at first glance. I had a quick prod around it last night and like some of the features that are there, and I assume the design itself is highly customisable? I notice it would take a while to...

    Just joined!

    Hey there, Kathleen, welcome to the forum. What kind of books do you like? What are you currently reading? I also love webdesign and would really like to see any sites you have done, if you don't mind sharing them? Cheers Mxx

    The Princess Bride

    okay, ignore my question in your welcome thread :) I thought the book was much better. The book gives you so much more than the film, such as the training ground of Prince Humperdinck, and where Fezzik got the cape from before storming the castle - it just told you much more of the story...

    Greetings, all

    Marvellous, the only reason I ask is that I had a conversation with someone last week who stated they had 'eclectic taste in media', so I asked them what they like to read. "science-fiction and horror" they answered, so I asked them what else they read, "no, that's it. Science-fiction and...

    Greetings, all

    Welcome to the forum. What kind of books do you like then...I'm just wondering what's classed as 'eclectic'? Oh, and you could name a few bands you like too :) Mxx

    Favorite Comic Book Character

    Calvin and Hobbs Tin Tin Dilbert Garfield Death Although some of them are comic strips, so I don't know if they would count. Mxx

    Lending books

    In response to Halo : I bought Harry Potter 5 on day of release and read it straight away, then I gave it to a friend to read, hoping she would pass it on to others to read instead of giving it back to me. Fact is, I have read the book and can't see when I will next read it, so it would sit...

    Reviews - possible to improve?

    Sounds like a good idea to have the imdb of books, as that's a very useful and very indepth site, good luck with it - all things book related must be good and encouraged. I'm not sure how the imdb got to the state it is at today, other than a hell of a lot of hard work. Do you have a...

    Favorite 3 books of all time

    Tough question as it's very hard to limit a list to three definitive books of which I class as favourite and can give you a list of 100 I would urge others to read. There's also the problem of having books that you won't be able to sell on my favourites list, such as the 'Oddkins' by Dean...

    Reviews - possible to improve?

    I had this problem too. I just finished writing a review for my book forum yesterday and popped over to maybe submit it here, but once at the library you have to look for the book, then submit a suggestion if it's not there, then wait for it to appear and write the review and it all seems to...

    Lending books

    I do love books, but there are some that just aren't worth keeping because I either won't read them again or will want to buy them in a nice edition. Once I have read them I would much prefer that others enjoy it, and then pass it onto others who would also enjoy it, than it sit on my bookshelf...

    The Auel series in movies...?

    When was this film released? I purchased Clan of the Cave Bear yesterday so must read it soon, would be interested in seeing the film after I have done so. Sorry that this is not an answer to your question. Mxx

    Stephen King

    Can I assume everyone who likes King has read Richard Bachman? Mxx

    Lending books

    I have no problwm lending books out, although am reluctant if it is one of my nice hardback special edition ones unless it is to someone whom I know takes great care of them. Softbacks, and some hardbacks, I will happily lend out and in most cases don't bother to ask for them back but...

    My first novel

    Plan what you want to write about in depth, in advance. I wrote a novel for www.nanowrimo.org and managed to write over 50,000 words in two weeks. Because of this non-stop writing the novel was very scrappy and very disjointed as far as plot and characters go, this is all because I started...

    George Orwell: Nineteen Eighty-Four

    Yes, I have read 1984 and it is one of the best books I have ever read, which is good because I don't tend to go for political things. I am about to do a bit of shameless pimping now because I have to tell you the book group a friend and myself have recently started are looking set to read...
