You get overreaction with every religion. It's just such a touchy subject, and of course you have the fundamentalists ready to flame at the slightest spark. Unfortunately, this small minority of the religious population seems to be the ones whom most people use as models to stereotype the rest...

My local bookstore sells the black strip Penguin Classics for 2/$10 (about US$7). I have Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in Penguin Classics.

Congratulations, Stewart. I'm sure that you'll instigate some great changes for the forum.

Black This is just a filler...

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great day :D

I usually go into a bookstore knowing what books I want (usually from recommendations I've seen on here), so I hardly ever look at the back covers.

I stopped buying new books once I realised that I had about 40 unread books on my bookshelf :o A few that seem to have been sitting there forever are: The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan Dracula by Bram Stoker Communion by Whitely Streiber Eldest by Christopher Paolini I've whittled the...

August was a very slow month for me because I was so busy with school - only two books: Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon The World According to Garp by John Irving I can't wait for November and the end of school so that I can get some real reading time in!

He wrote a few short stories in the horror genre, I think. One that I know of is Lamb to the Slaughter.

(A belated) Happy Birthday, tundra!

Here are my top 5 (although the list is highly subject to change): The Farseekers by Isobelle Carmody The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay The Way the Crow Flies by Ann-Marie MacDonald The Lost Boy by Dave Pelzer The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory

I used to worry myself with the condition of my books (such as making sure the spine wasn't creased or the pages bent) but now I don't really care. I still have habits from my more neurotic days, such as continually running my finger down the spine of the book that I am reading to see if there...

Chicken, cheese, cajun spice and sweet shilli sauce (I took one home from work today, actually :)) What one book do you wish that you could have written?

Ah, now that I see where you are coming from I agree :)

All religous books (the Bible, the Koran etc). Religion causes too much trouble and suffering. Do you prefer wooden or carpeted floor?

I agree that he is misleading - the statement at the beginning of the books assuring readers of the accuracy of the 'facts' presented cannot be anything but - but manipulative? Can you explain?

I agree with Anamnesis - I think that mysteries would be the hardest to write. Coming up with a great twist while still providing enough clues for people to believe that they could have figured it out themselves given enough time would be difficult I imagine.

I second Jasper Fforde - The Eyre Affair is light, witty and a great read.

For a boy, Levi and for a girl, Karla. What language would you most like to learn to speak fluently?

Here's my list: 1. George Orwell 2. Margaret Atwood 3. Jeffrey Eugenides 4. Harper Lee 5. William Golding 6. Aldous Huxley 7. Joseph Heller 8. Jose Saramago 9. Ray Bradbury The others I haven't read.
