I agree Ruby. What gets me is that every now and again there has to be these 'witch hunts' some people just have to make a very big issue out of things. It was done with Martin , and Sitram and now Wabbit is the bad guy. Hey Novella you want to apply for Chief Moderator? Why can't you guys play...

Would just like to point out that Wabbit's total of 7,924 posts isn't exactly what you'd call a sign of laziness or sitting back. Actually this is the sort of grouching and back-stabbing that made me lose interest.

Glad to, Louisa, email on its way. :) and Good luck with the course.

I enjoyed On Writing, it was an interesting read, both as an insight into his life and for the useful tips, although a lot of what he says is common sense. I liked "don't let the facts get in the way of a good story", that was one of my stumbling blocks. Its a good, encouraging read, don't...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D Big HOT KISS and HUG for my favourite bunny EVER! :o Have a whale of a day with lots of chocolate and red wine and dancing :D

Vladimir Nabokov, Collected Stories. With sixty-five short stories in one book it has to be a literary treasure chest.

I’ve often wondered about this too, and as Gem pointed out there are many ways to reply; In response to SFG75's 'what we accomplish...' We might have made great advances but ecologically I think Man's presence on earth has certainly made a difference. If the 'Overall scheme' was that Man...

Under the Tuscan Sun - Frances May Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke I had to buy 'Under the Tuscan Sun' after seeing the movie but I've heard the book differs quite a lot. Be interesting to see which is the better version.

In case anyone else is interested I found the story ‘How Want-Fo Was Saved’ in a book called ORIENTAL TALES by MARGUERITE YOURCENAR :)

A very interesting discussion Sitaram and I have noted all the books you refer to but so many, where does one start? Do you think 'The World of Zen - an East/West Anthology, edited by Nancy Wilson Ross' might be little heavy going for a beginner?

I wasn't familiar with 'The Lonely Crowd' :o so, as a bookaholic, did a quick search and found the poetry of Fernando Pessoa. His 'Yes, I Know It's All Quite Natural" gave me a smile. For a lonely isolated man he seemed to have quite a sense of humour. I only found a few snippets but I...

It was Edwrd Hopper's painting of the man sitting alone at the all-night bar that inspired the name, Sitaram. I am the late night prowler, I am the Nighthawk! - albeit, female :p :D Yes it is a great painting. I particularly like the way he stands outside in the night, another loner...

What beautiful imagry Sitaram :) so easy to imagine drifting in deep, cool tropical waters amidst rainbows. Thank you for sharing, lovely poem. :)

Ooops! Belated ... Happy Birthday Muggle. Hope the year is a good one! :D

Win.... Windsor Horne Lockwood III from the Harlan Coben novels!!! :D Intelligent, tall, handsome, man of few words, deadly protector, e x t r e m e l y sexy :p

Many thanks Sitaram :D They are delightful stories and I think must be versions of the tale I was seeking. I had hoped it was a lot longer, a book in fact. :)

Been on a bit of a spree lately but these are two that came today... 'Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov The Shadow of the Wind Carlos Ruiz
