    New James Bond Book

    ValkyrieRaven88, I'd say give them a go - it's the only way you're going to know if you'll like them or not. :)

    New James Bond Book

    Hello Chris, Shade manages to express himself very well, in every single one of his posts. Perhaps you're just not reading them right ;) As for me - let me know what's puzzling you and I'll be happy to clarify. I started this thread because I was curious about the new author, why? Because...

    New James Bond Book

    Shade, I think it's news simply because it's Bond and the new film is out soon. Oh and the last book was about 10 years ago (I think). And yes you're right the books were hardly 'quality' literature but perhaps their popularity has something to do with the culture/environment of the time...

    Question Game

    I don't usually plan, just whatever takes my fancy - although at the moment I am trying to hunt down (rather fruitlessly thus far) a film called If Footmen Tire you What will Horses do? A James Bond villain or a Batman villain?

    Thomas Hardy

    pink shadow, Off the top of my head I can only remember two of his poems in their entirety - the one about the Titanic and the one about Living with Shades - both are sombre. I do have a collection of poems somewhere, I'll take a look through it and see if I can find some of the lighter...

    Thomas Hardy

    Enya, Jude left me shocked, I don't think I read anything else for at least a week afterwards. All of his novels have a strong undercurrent of fatalism, but in Jude the feeling was in almost every page.

    Thomas Hardy

    I've read quite a few of his novels and some of his poetry. I agree Pink shadow, that his imagery is amazing and the language beautiful. Depressing though.
