I just found out about a site similar to Amazon that some of you may be interested in - they offer free international shipping on everything, with no minimum order required. I believe that their product pricings are similar to that of Amazon. The Book Depository. Happy Buying :D

[color=yellow] (this is just blabber so that my post is long enough :D)

Athena, from Greek mythology. I just found her stories the most interesting, and of course I have always been interested in knowledge and learning (but not so much the war part..). What subject are/were you best at at school?

I lie quite a bit to get out of working extra and covering up for not doing homework - just silly stuff like that. I also lie to people and tell them that they look good when they don't etc because I can't tell people that they look horrible. I actually do the opposite. If I was the one that...

This hasn't happened to me so far, as I usually avoid binge-reading. I split up my reading time with visiting forums, playing video games and sport so that I don't get burned out.

As Occolith said, it's just a result of the degeneracy of the body over time.

It's a line out of the book that occurs near the end. There's also a lot of snow and fires throughout :D

I recall this happened to you in around March last year as well. Are you burned out after all that reading in 2007, or have you just been too busy to get in any decent reading?

Another gem from the Reader's Digest: There are actually strict laws regarding the naming of new planets and the like, as dictated by the International Astronomical Union. For example, small craters on Mars must be named after a "villiage of the world with a population of less than 100,000"...

Wow, that's really interesting! I'll have to try it when I'm rich and famous :D

Thank you :D :D It's extremely funny that you should say that - it was because I told someone else on another forum that I was intimidated by their reviews that I attempted a proper one for the first time for this book. I've been wanting to re-read the series, as I think that the books would...

A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabladon (2005) Beginning where The Fiery Cross left off, the latest installment of the Outlander series follows Jamie and Claire as they tackle potentially their biggest threat yet - the American Revolution. A Breath of Snow and Ashes takes place during the...

Unhealthy obessions are usually the norm here at BAR :D I'm just starting actually, and have really, really enjoyed the first two - I liked the second better than the first, which isn't very usual for me. I've heard that things start going a bit downhill after book 5, but I'm planning on...

I found a few interesting ones in the latest Reader's Digest: Matt Lucas, of Little Britain fame, went bald of shock at the age of 6 after being hit by a car. The average person in a bookstore spends 8 seconds looking at the cover of a book and a further 15 seconds reading the back.

What did you read during January? I finished: The Great Hunt (Wheel of Time Book 2) by Robert Jordan 681 pages Matthew Flinders' Cat by Bryce Courtenay 610 pages Pride of Carthage by David Anthony Durham 586 pages Watermelon by Marian Keyes 614 pages A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana...

'Many thanks!' The Half Brother -- Sars Laaybe Christensen

I like the idea of Can't Win 'Em All, and perhaps we could do certain countries ie suggested books must be written by authors from a nominated country.
