Congratulations! :o

See, funny. I know a ton of people who think the 'Dark Tower' series is absolute garbage. I personally haven't read eithet Cell or The Dark Tower series but as always I find it fascinating how different minds like different works.

Ok guys, I don't exactly know how you usually handle things here - do you usually finish the book and then start discussing it or does discussion usually start from the get-go? I've finished chapter 7 last night (very slow, I know) and I have to admit I'm a little freaked out, even though...

I think that would be perfect! And if you need help with your homework - you know who to ask.. :cool:

Oh by the way.. I've started last night, read the first two chapters and I have to say, although I need to get used to it, so far I like the English translation. I feel a little poetry got lost in the process but overall I'm relieved.

Uh, nice, thanks for that one. I'm glad they didn't give away too much of the ending.. what I find disturbing a little is Grenouilles clean, British accent.. I had always pictured him with obviously a French country accent and his language more muffled and low. Oh well. There goes my inner...

Having been a huge King Fan in my early twenties, I find myself completely indifferent to his recent work. The only thing I managed to devote my attention to was 'On Writing', mostly because of its autobiographical value. I've always admired his talent for short stories more than his ability to...

I was wondering about the exact same thing reading this thread. nyways.. good luck with Mr Joyce - I've tried Ulysses more than once, always gave up at around page 100 and have decided he is just not for me and probably overrated. :D I've lived in Ireland for 2 years and I have to tell you...

How about Stormrider by David Gemmell?

'One Nation Under Therapy: How the Helping Culture Is Eroding Self-Reliance ' I'm in the middle of 'One Nation Under Therapy: How the Helping Culture Is Eroding Self-Reliance' by philosopher-turned-controversialist Christina Hoff Sommers and psychiatrist Sally Satel. Pretty shocking so far -...

Haha, interesting story. Here some detail: In April 1982, Kennesaw (Kennesaw, Georgia) government officials responded to the Morton Grove ban by passing an ordinance "to provide for the civil defense of the City of Kennesaw, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security...

Stewart, I strongly recommend reading the book first. It has a pretty dramatic ending, you really don't want to spoil that by watching the movie first; I can't imagine how they were able to wrap all that in celluloid anyways.. I've read 'Perfume' three times so far, and, as mentioned in...

Thanks so much Stewart, is it too late for me to 'sign up' for it or is it pretty much open to whoever wants to join? Flor, we're out west, suburban paradise so to say. Little nest called Hiram, but still considered Metro ATL. :)

We have ours arranged by colors and I love it. It's so different and even though I was sort of afraid it would make it hard for me to find a certain book this way - it really is no problem at all. On the contrary. I know Miller is purple, Cornwell is white, King is black and Palahniuk is...

My favorite character must be Scout Finch from 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. She just captured my heart from page1 and even though her naivety goes a little bit far sometimes, she so reminds me of myself when I was her age tat it seemed to me, while reading the book, I had found a long lost little...

Thanks guys.. Uhm, I hate to say it but I'm afraid I have a question right away and no idea where to post it, really. I saw that Sueskind's 'The Perfume' was voted BOTM for December and discussion was supposed to start on the 1st, right? Well.. first of all I'd love to know whether people...

Gem & Sofia.. thank you so much. Ronny.. I understand completely. I'm soaking as much in as possible these days, knowing it'll soon be over.. mehastings.. Lucie is almost 3.5 months now.. seems like yesterday that we brought her home.

Hey. I'm new. Skimmed through the forum and liked what i saw. I don't read nearly as much as I want to and used to, simply because my little baby girl, all shiny and new, demands most of my time and attention these days. Maybe being here can motivate and inspire me. I miss the smell of new...
