I see. I kind of recognised the lizard thing on the left. Not a fan of those types of games though (read: I can't do them very well). Thanks for clearing that up. Mxx

yip, curl up with a 'comfort' book which you have read before and you know will cheer you up, or perhaps a 'comfort' author. Chocolate and beer are good too. Although you can't really beat complaining to a good friend over the phone. Failing all of that go to the mirror and pull lion...

Hi there Kinkster. Can you tell me more about your banner image - or should I be ashamed of myself already for not recognising it? Mxx

hee, and at this rate cushed any child who dares to read it in bed. Mxx

It's the Nations favourite, and I would have trouble believing that the Nation likes Harry Potter. If it had age groups it would be more representative, but this seems like it will be a vote on the Nation, with 43% of the Nation being Children. They should add the question into the next...

Hee, didn't realise you're in London too. I live northeast and work southwest so you'll have to be keen on commuting if you want to stalk me. I'll get the hobnobs in. Mxx

Lullaby - Chuck Palahniuk Mxx

I left the room when they were talking about His Dark Materials last week so, yes, I agree. Mxx

hmm - I've only just noticed this thread. I use my second name with a 'z' on the end. and most people just call me murphy, others use Michael or Mike, as that is my first name. I am in no way paranoid about people on the net, many know my name is Michael Murphy and that I live in London...

Let's hope so. I don't doubt the amount of adults that read Potter, I myself read them. I do doubt, however, that many adults would class Potter as their favourite book - whether they look at it in terms of storyline, or if they look in depth at the literary value - most adults would agree...

Personally I think the Potter books are on there because of the large amount of Children voting for it, especially as the votes are online. I cannot seriously imagine so many adults voting for it (especially HP4). Likewise Lord of the Rings has it's clique who vote for it regardless of what...

I hear it's just closed down. Mxx

Hello to both of you, welcome to the forum. We tend to get a good bunch of prople on here.but then aren't all people who love books a good bunch? Blade - long live the Mudd Club! :) Mxx

I would suggest reading it, because there are very few books I would not ask people to read - especially as we all take something different away from it. When I came to the Alchemist I was expecting something more, something that would be profound and soul changing as many people before me had...

Want to win: Great Expectations Think will win: Lord of the Rings Don’t want to win: Lord of the Rings Mxx

I still need to read Battle Royale, although will be buying the DVD when I get some Waterstones vouchers through the post. Sounds like Lord of the Flies on acid. Mxx

Hi Nial, welcome to the forum. We can never have enough literature/book sites, and I'm glad to see that your first rule is that no spamming is allowed. Hope you'll be sticking around here in the future...what are you currently reading? Mxx

North to Freedom ? The link has the first few pages scanned in so you can read the intro. Mxx

In the same vain as lord of the flies, how about Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. Stick a group of kids together, hand them weapons, and tell them the last one left alive gets to go home. Mxx
