I was thinking of trying one of the Bond books, do they need to be read in order?

I believe that my [-]Husband[/-] Santa is going to give it to me later in the year. :D

I wasn't sure whether to put this here, or in the short stories section, please feel free to move it! :flowers: ISBN: 9780307269249 Published: September 2008 Given it’s the spooky season, I thought I would take a look at some ghost stories. This particular anthology is great, not only...

I've just finished reading the short story "The Body Snatcher" by Stevenson and really enjoyed it. I thought it was very atmospheric. I haven't read Jekyll though.

I do feel that the general atmosphere here is much friendlier than some other book forums I have looked at. Some really do tear into each other which just makes it a really nasty place to be. So BAR scores highly there. I guess as a newbie here I am not sure what other members like to see...

Digging up a dead body in Scotland - The Body Snatcher By Robert Louis Stevenson

I'm afraid I haven't read any of these books... BUT, I have asked for copies for my birthday which is next month, so fingers crossed!

I agree, it was rather nasty, but I guess it reflects the reality of the situation. It's not a "cosy" Christie-esque murder, thats for sure.

I couldn't see a thread on this book, so if I have missed it, please merge as required. Thanks! The Behaviour Of Moths is a darkly humorous book about family relationships and versions of truth. Ginny is an elderly lady living in a large rambling house that she used to share with her sister...

A slight aside here, but I wonder how much Rowling earned from book sales and how much from films and merchandise?

Great advice, thanks Justin. I will have a surf later and see what's about on Ebay. Any excuse to look at books!

Is anyone a member of the Folio Society? I love the idea of these beautiful editions, but I was wondering what the full selection of books is like. Having said that I can already find more than 10 volumes I would like :D Are the books as beautiful as they look on the website?

Wow, thats an amazing acheivement! I won't ask for your top 10 :lol:

Well, I did it.... I put the set together... the world doesn't appear to have ended and it does look lovely. :D

Wow, thats amazing, how many books have you read since 1977?

That sounds like a really interesting book. I think I will see if they have it my library.

I have my blog, but I also have a really lovely notebook where I write down what I have read and more personal thoughts on it which I might not want to share on the internet. I also have a "would like to read" list in my PDA. Very useful when you are in a shop and want to purchase a few books :)

I have been pondering this for some time, it's perhaps not the most desperate decision the world has faced, but nevertheless it is causing me some worry... :sad: I have a set of books which have the same lovely binding... however, they are by different authors. They look lovely all lined up...

In the UK we have BBC Iplayer. Go to the BBC website (BBC - Homepage) and click on Iplayer. You can watch shows there. I am not sure if it works outside of the UK.

I re-read The Wind In The Willows By Kenneth Graham and The Dark Is Rising Sequence By Susan Cooper. Clearly both are books of my childhood and I re-read them when I need comfort!
