Just two :D To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee The Dragons of Eden, Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence by Carl Sagan

I read column in the Sunday papers a few months back, but not sure if this is going to happen. Hope it doesn't make Ottakar's hardbacks more pricey with new management. I shop for my kid's books there, be buggered if it did. Anyone here know the latest?

I think Brick Lane by Monica Ali would make a good movie ;-) (Starring some hot bollywood actress for Nazneen, da main character)

Have you ever tried reading Bram Stoker's Dracula? Oh, such a sleepy, sleepy read. A total classic with such cosy descriptions of Transylvanian forests and sleepy villages of the olden times, etc. I have it in large print and I always find it such a great bedtime read, that few other books can...

I tend to get putoff by such things if I see them more than once or twice - let alone all the time. There are various ways of handling foul language, like f*** or f--k, that some authors I've seen use. Would such a thing work for you? In adult novels, it's practically impossible to avoid such...

I just picked up 'Cobernic', but I know that is not her best. Has anyone read much by this author? Ta.

Non-fiction gives you chance to explore the dreams being imagined inside the writer's head which he/she is sharing with you on paper. I sometimes like to get an idea of how a writer is as a person and how he thinks. That can be easier at times, but not so easy at other times :) But, yeah...

Larry Niven, Larry Niven and Larry Niven. He's brill.... I just finished reading Ringworld's Children. Awesome book, but probably not as good as his earlier stuff. Other others I like are Dean Koontz and J. K. Rowling :D

I saw the movies (the hollywood versions) of both Ring and Ring 2 but was thinkin of reading the book - The Ring. Has anyone here read it? Is it worth reading?

All time fave? That'd be Narnia - the magical world created by that great man C. S. Lewis ;-)

<<<However the second part of the book I felt was contrived, and I think that Amir, acted out of character.>>> Oh you've kinda spoilt it for me by sayin' that. I just ordered that book from my library. But I'll read it anyhow thinking I never read your post - lol.

Aussie author K J Bishop's The Etched City is a great read. I'd highly recommend that book.

Careful you don't get accused of pimping that author or her book - lol :rolleyes: I have just started reading Abdul Ahad's First Ark to Alpha Centauri. It's actually not half as bad as what some people here made out - :) (A competent, if a bit technical, story about a trip to Alpha...

The only nautical thing that springs to mind - that was decent and modern - was Jaws. And that wasn't exactly horror. So, somebody will probaly write something set at sea, soon. (I might work on that - lol)

Carrie. I read that first before all the others, and it made the biggest mark on me. ;)

I'm looking for a good novel or two that's set in the ocean. On surface or deep underwater. I want lot of mystery and horror. Serpents and other fantasy beasts okay, but give me something modern pls, not classical.

This sounds like the hottest book under the sun. I'm all for the hype, and might give this book a try. Look at the hype online: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=the+kite+runner+hosseini Wooowwwww!!!!

There was a cartoon version on british tv back in the old days (I mean 'olde' days). never heard of any novels, tho

Well said. I dunno... I'll probably read it anyway. Hell, I read most things (good or bad - lol).

Anyone remember the old Blakes 7 TV program series oh, some twenty odd years ago. Was there ever a few novels out on release. can I still get any if they were?
