Lady C - an intervention is required ;) Vesper! hello.

:D I guess that is the only logical explanation. Aquablue, I usually read more than one book at a time too. But us geniuses can do things like that;)

Stewart, you poor thing, I can only imagine how hard getting through doors must be for you :D

Yep, I'd agree that traditionally it should be stories that were published during his lifetime - which include Meditation, The Judgement, The Country Doctor,and A Hunger Artist. January's BOTM is going to be very entertaining, I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks Lucia, I think it just may get added to my amazon list. SFG75, Dispatches from the Edge - Anderson Cooper, ok so I know who Cooper is, but is the book a memoir or a social commentary type thing? And is it any good?

I haven't seen Paternity but Navajo Joe was good. Oh and he was great in Deliverance.

Lady C, hope you all get better soon. What did the neurologist say? You know my good wishes are always with you. Dump away! Yes I fell off the wagon. I'm back to my stalking ways, am gonna have to go back to therapy.

Lady C, Good to see you :) . No there have been no secret skype meet ups. I just stalked tundra for a bit is all :D Hope you've been well, and the kids are doing ok? Fantasy Moon, army of anime plushies hey? You're hired.

Hello Gracie, Welcome to the forum :) .

I liked the memory one. Don't know how real those are but this one is: Barrister: "did you sign this document" Claimant: "No sir, " Barrister : "but it's your signature" Claimant: "My son is very crafty, he forged my signature" Barrister: "But this has been signed in front of a solicitor, are...

Hello Violette, Welcome! :)

Old age/undying - same difference:o .

Well there is THIS. What about Time's Arrow - Martin Amis. The story is told backwards, it starts with the character in old age and literally rewinds through his life, so that everything (the conversations, sex etc) are done in reverse.

He's not? But I always thought he was, ok so maybe he was a bit big boned but still. That means he is one of a kind, all alone..no one to monkey around with..oh that is so sad... Wolf, I'm sorry but I have no comment on your 'novel'. I didn't read the excerpt - well I have not finished...

Good review Shade. I did find it funny in places; Borat's mannerisms are humourous in a quirky sort of way. The entire cinema hall was cracking up with laughter from start to end and I just relaxed and went with the atmosphere. Overall though it doesn't live up to the reviews, and the style...

Of those two, I think I enjoyed Kafka on the Shore more. Most people say you should never start with Kafka on the Shore. But, I don't think any Murakami book lets you ease slowly into his style, so you may as well jump in with both feet and see if he appeals to you.

I started 8 books but completed only Palace Walk by Naguib Mahfouz. Abc, I'd love to hear more about Widdershins - Charles DeLint Lucia, would you recommend this? The subject matter appeals to me, but how readable is it? HermioneWeasley, Sputnik Sweetheart is by Japanese writer Haruki...

Hello Snow, Welcome to the forum :) .

See, there you go making sense again; it's giving me a headache, stop it already :D .

I find that with my memory and the number of books I have, it's easier to have an organised system. I have 2 bookcases for the unread/newly bought books, but they're not organised in any particular way. The rest of the books are divided into ficiton/non fiction. I do place them...
