It was sarcasm *Smiles* (or at least, supposed to be. My sense of humour sometimes gets in the way) One of those things about the net, it's so easy to misconstrue. I didn't accost you for being holier than thou, but for attacking the girl with no clear reason. My point remains valid though...

Wow, and to think you could have saved yourself 2 pages of discussion around the "facts" by actually asking. :p Lynne

What makes you think i am *not* one?!

Can i get one too, whilst i'm here? :)

I don't see that. You *know* that if you're overweight, or eat fatty foods, or smoke you're at a higher risk of having a heart attack. Why is it shitty to say that? She didn't go up to the nearest obese person and say "hey guess what, you're at a higher risk of heart attack"...

I'm in the middle of reading "Gulag", about the gulags (suprisingly) and "The rightous gentile", about Raoul Wallenberg who helped hundreds of jews in the war also, and who later disappeared into the gulags and never came out. Both interesting reads.

It seems to me, that with harry potter specifically, a little education would go a long way. Any pagan/witch/wiccan can tell you that (aside from the instant spell thing) there is little similarity with HP and witchcraft. For example in wicca and witchcraft, EVERYONE is a witch. Moreso...

Have you read any of the discworld books? Or "the unadulterated cat"? They made me laugh out loud also :) I'm reading... What a carve up - Jonathon Coe Stalag - I forget who The righteous gentile - again forget Lady Oracle - Margaret Atwood A clockwork Orange Mostly it depends on...

That's not cunning, it's cruelty to poor people! *laughs* I liked Oryx and Crake a lot, although it took me a while to get into - mostly because i kept trying to work out exactly WHEN it happened, and some other minor things that i didn't feel were eventually explained. :)

I've read handmaids tale, oryx and crake, blind assasin, alias grace, the robber bride, and I'm about to finish Lady oracle. I loved oryx and crake, and i also like lady oracle a lot. Alias grace also.

26 :) (why must i write at least 10 characters? *pout*)

I just finished LP Hartley's "The Go-between" in penguin classic. All the way through it has numbered references, and they're at the back of the book. For me this is intensely annoying. If there are notes, i want to know what they are, but it really breaks up continuity of reading for me. I'm...

For Chinese people, the number 4 is the sticker. I watched a tv show with a secret camera, and they offered a load of Chinese young men room 44 on the 4th floor (ie 444) and they balked, refused the room and asked for a change. I'm not superstitious; my favourite birds are magpies.. 1, 2...

Thanks funes, I'll have a look. I haven't read Neverwhere, but i like Neil Gaiman, so i might get it And that website was great! Thank you all :)

I'm into history books right now :) Does anyone know of a good history of the London Underground that they would recommend? Fairly cheap would be a good price :) Failing that, it'll be a birthday present... Thanks, Lynne

I agree, TCM wasn't one of the funniest. I started them at a friends, and he didn't have his copy of TCM athte time, so i started on the light fantastic, which i found a lot funnier. Equal rites is good, as is Maskerade. Or Pyramids. Towards the end, his books tend to get a lot more...

Just this and http://www.tarotalk.org/phpBB2 :)

No, I'm just fast. I can read faster than anyone i know. But to me it's just my normal speed. :)

I agree. Also how did sirius know how to get into the whomping willow, and why did he go? I've read the book, but if you haven't, you won't know...

It took me a while to get into it, but it got better for me towards the end. I've never read any of her books before i think, so i have nothing to compare with. It was a difficult plot to get your head around; it took me a few days to get into it also, and i can happily read something like...
