I finished this book some days ago and I'm stilled kinda perplexed about the brilliant beginning and the insulting rest of this book. I was bored by "The Secret History" but the first lines of her new book captured me so I gave Tartt a second try. Unfortunately "The Little Friend" was...

I'm looking for some maginficent/ impressive/ dazzling fiction (/horror) by Canadian authors. I'm especially interested in books whose plot is based in Vancouver or whose author lives in Vancouver. The only Canadian author I know is Margaret Atwood. I'v read "Oryx and Crake" (brilliant) and...

I politely ask everyone who hasn't read this book form refraining to comment on this thread. This includes statements like "Oh this sounds so cool. I have to read this book." (Come back if you have done so.) and stuff like "Graphic novels are crap." (Get yourself an...

I started to read this book more out of boredom than out of interest and sadly my low expectations were fully met. "The Bad Mother's Handbook" tells the story of Charlotte (teenager), her Mum and her Nan and is set in the UK Middle Class. They all live together and disaster strikes in form of...

I just finished this book some days ago and I really enjoyed reading it. Most of the dialogues are hilarious and the relationsship between the main character Dallas and her "fancy piece" billionaire husband made me chuckle all the time. The story itself isn't that good and I soon lost...

Book Inscriptions Do you know any gorgeous book inscriptions?

This is the poll concerning the discussion in the thread over here. Cheers

Would it be possible to have two seperate genres instead of one? I don't think these genres really belong together. Mostly I'm looking for science fiction but fantasy always comes in my way. It would make things easier. Thx for considering this.

The task is quiet easy, name the best horror books and please give the main theme in brackets. I'll start. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson (vampire & dystrophie) Stir of Echoes by Richard Matheson (ghosts) Bitten by Kelley Armstrong (werewolf) Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice...

Yesterday I was looking through some favourite book lists at amazon and this book came up several times, so I peeked at the review and found this: It sounds really gorgeous. So has anybody actually read this book and can tell me if it's worth buying?

Do you use (college) reading lists to keep up with reading the classics or to get new ideas for books? At the moment I'm reading my way through the BBC's Big Read which is quiet entertaining. Furthermore I've got some College Reading Lists which always give me ideas for new books. So what...

I just did a little search on the net for good French Books but it left me pretty much clueless. I just can't tell which ones are the really good ones and which ones are just crap. So do any of you know any good ones? The only criteria is that these books have been first published in...

I just took a look at the new Harry Potter and I have to say that I really don't like the cover of the Kids Edition. Harry looks stupid and something is up with his scar. Dumbledore looks like a madman. This time the Adult Edition looks much cooler. Do you think "Advanced Potion Making" means...

Hey I hoped some of our US members could help me on this one. Obviously some poeple in the USA are dangling their sneakers from powerlines and I don't have a clue why. So I googled it and this thing is not connected to gang teritory or any other sort of crime. Furthermore I found a bunch of...

How can I make screenshots from movies and highscores of online games?

A new folder for threads about "looking for a book title" would be good. There seem to be a lot people looking for titles and it's fun to guess the books.

My lovely little word just crashed and failed to save anything I did in the last 50 minutes. I hate microsoft. So that was the last chance. I going to install linux as soon as I've figured out how to do it. So what version should I get? SUSE? I've kinda two harddrives with 10GB each. Can...

I just saw Blade 3 and it was ok but definitely not cool enough. Abigail was too weak, King a complete jerk and the dialogue was mostly crap. The translation was shit and there where a handful of plotholes. King really annoyed me. He was talking shit all the time (What was that Hasselhof...
