    What Genre do you like?

    I voted for Horror, Fantasy and the Crime, Thrillers, Mystery option. I've never explored the Sci-Fi genre, and have no particular desire to read a romance book. However, I do like it when my chosen genres do employ features from the other two genres. Stephen King's Dark Tower series suits me...

    Your Personal Library

    I personally own 55 (+ two incoming) books. However, there are many more in the family 'library'. The temptation to buy tons more is great, but I like to read them before they mount up!

    Any teenagers around here?

    If you do decide to read The Dark Tower series do not be put off by the first book, The Gunslinger. It is character building (perhaps in a mysterious way) and used to set the scene. I think I will have a go at the Three Musketeers! My dad would be happy, he loves all of the old stories. It's...

    What did you read in April?

    Aron Ralston - Between A Rock And A Hard Place - Not fiction, but it is an amazing autobiographical story of the mountain climber who cut of his own arm to survive. A truly remarkable story written in a strange but captivating way. The ending doesn't drag on as I feared it would; he place the...

    Do you also follow the HP films? If you like fantasy novels, try Stephen King's Dark Tower Series. It's his version of Lord Of The Rings. I am currently half way through the epic seven book series and purposely going slowly because I really don't want the story to end! I would recommend it to...

    Any teenagers around here?

    I'm 17 (surely that's young enough to still be a teenager? :) ) I really got excited by reading when I discovered Stephen King's work. I'd finally found an author who used everyday language and told easy to follow stories. I'm now trying to read some of the 'classics', and I have to say...

    Salem Witch Trials

    Hello all at 'b&r. I was wondering if anyone could either recommend, or point me in the right direction, to find a good book about the Salem Witch Trials. I would be most interested in a story based during the time (i.e a fictional story set in historically accurate time. That style must have...
