I am just curious: seeing as there are a lot of creative people here I was just wondering if anyone else is also a Deviant (as in Deviant Art for those who are not familiar with this community)? It would be fun to see what people are up to ;)!

Has anyone played Tomb Raider Legend? I just finished Beyond Good and Evil and I want a new action/adventure game and TRL seems really cool, but then they always do, so I'm looking for some advice here - anyone?

If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be? And why aren't you there? I would just like to sit on my parents porch soaking up the sun and warmth that is the first taste of summer here in Sweden. Instead I have to finish painting my living room, and my arms are already numb from...

I don't know if anyone else read the dedications in books, but I always do, and although they are usually either long list of editors names or short lists of the author's closest family, sometimes you come across a great one. So - what's your favourite dedication? Mine is: "For everyone who...

OK, so I've been wondering about an interesting book phenomenon: spin-off series. You know, the Star Wars books, Buffy books, Charmed books, Alias books, Dr Who books, etc etc. They apparently have a market since there are som many of them, but I've always failed to see their appeal. But I may...

I was recently flying with Ryan Air when I noticed that there was no row number 13. And I just read a book with a building in it that didn't have a 13th floor. What is up with number 13? Is it just bad luck in general or will something specific happen? Do you know any stories? Have you noticed...

Me and mrkgnao are discussing the possibilities of starting an English paperback store in Gothenburg, but we're having trouble coming up with a proper name. We want a name that tells the customer what it is we sell, but we don't want anything as simple as "The Bookstore". We've come up with...

During one of my many listmanias on Amazon I came across a book that I don't know the title, author, cover or story of. I don't even remember if I thought it seemed good or not. All I remember is that it was set after the Apocalypse and I think the main character was on of the riders of the...

I know that a lot of people, including me, loved Susanna Clarke's wonderful book Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, so I just wanted to share this information: The shortstory collection The Ladies of Grace Adieu to be published in October. To see cover, follow the link...

http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/ I just posted a link to this website in a thread, and then I realized I should really share it with the rest of you as well, in case you've missed it. Ultra-condensed versions of your favourite books await!

I've just recently disovered Canadian author Charles de Lint and I've absolutely loved what I've read so far - The Onion Girl, The Blue Girl, The Moon is Drowning While I Sleep. I'd like to read more Newford books, and my question is: Has anyone here read enough of them to tell me if they...

Is there anything in particular that will put you off a book? Any writing style, theme or something the protagonist just can't do? For some reason I don't like books written in the present tense. It seems unnatural to me somehow - how can you tell a story while it's happening? I'm not...
