I'm right with you, Ions. Trade paperbacks. I really do not care at all for mass markets paperbacks and will not buy them. I'm not fond of hardbacks due to all of the reasons mentioned about. Trade paperbacks are the happy medium between the two that I like.

A Very Long Engagement--I was quite surprise to see Jodie Foster in this movie. One of the better movies I've seen in awhile.

No, I don't think you do. If someone states that you need to go back to the 18th Century, I may have to come along for the trip. I really, really, really dislike using emails to communicate with people. I find that it's okay for short, quick messages. However, for something of importance...

And increasing aid to Africa wouldn't be pointless? Unless you do something about the corrupt governments where the monies end up, it is.

I had real, full-fat cheese on it too. That went straight to my arse. Wow! Thanks for pointing that out in such a gracious manner. :eek:

With all of the issues that our "governement and its affiliates" are playing with our lives . . . well, let's say Mad Cow is probably the last on my list of worries. Even if the government placed their stamp of approval, would that make you feel any better? Maybe it will give some the warm...

I haven't seen it, but it looks like a typical chick lit plot. I'll wait until it's a rental.

In my area of the world, there are no independents that I know of. I just found this site, www.booksense.com which states it is "a family of idependent-bookseller websites." I punched in my zip code and found the "local" shop was 37.5 miles away. However, the town that it's in is a good...

I thought the show looked silly when I saw the previews for it last summer/fall. However, halfway through the season I ate my words and was hooked. I recommend that you think you may enjoy this show, start watching from the very beginning. I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD and winter to...

The Best Years of Our Lives The Passion of The Christ

This is one of my favorite movies!

:D I have a habit of doing that. Thanks everyone for the welcome.

:) Hi, Avada.

:) Hi, CDA.

Depends on what part of the book I'm in. ;) I try not to let it bother me because, unfortunately, I know my purpose on this earth isn't to only read books. If it's a constant interuption, however, my frustration level tends to increase rapidly.

It is very hard for me to part with my books. I'm currently going through them and have a big box to get rid of because I'm moving. I can't take them all with me. :( So I'll try to sell them in a lawn sale. The local used bookstore only gives credit and they mostly have mass market romances...

Just to clarify . . . I wasn't trying to imply that kids should have free reign on purchasing products.

I enjoyed this movie. After this movie, I came to the conclusion that Depp really is a superb actor. I think it was after watching this movie, and a handful of other Depp films recently, that led me to this deduction. Why didn't I realize this before?? I think the something missing at the...

I'm so glad there are so many people who feel the same about turning the corners or bending the binding on books. It is horrible letting someone borrow a book and have it returned all in a state of disrepair. I have a few bookmarks. I also will use receipts from the book purchase or scrap...

If the parents already do not pay attention what the child is doing, then a label on a book is not going to make a difference. Look at the gaming industry. There are plenty of kids out there playing "M" related games that are approximately eight years of age. It boils down to the...
