Yes your right Halo - sorry for the delay in responding. :)

Can't take the credit I'm afraid. It's a quote from a well-known comedy series. Brownie points for anyone who can guess where it's from. :)

LOL :D

I'm in awe of your library and your job - working in a bookstore - how wonderful. :)

I couldn't recommend Connelly enough. Basically there are three types of Connelly novel: 1= Those featuring Detective Harry Bosch - would recommend starting from book one here as they are as much about Bosch's life as the crimes he solves 2= Those featuring Terry Mcaleb (I think that's his...

You could try the 'Rebus' series by Ian Rankin. Not as good as Connelly but still worth reading the series if you liked Bosch.

I agree about the price of hardbacks which is why I only ever buy paperbacks new. However, there is nothing better than pottering around second hand book stalls and charity shops and finding an immaculate hardback for a tenth of the price it was new. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling for the rest...

Welcome to the fourm blithespirit (Lita). Hope you enjoy it here. :)

Welcome to the forum chairmanmieow - take a seat and warm yourself up. :)

Welcome to the forum Sameer. Enjoy. :)

Welcome to the forum missy six, hope you enjoy it here. :)

Being a horror fanatic, I find it quite difficult to find a book which really scares me these days. I agree that In Cold Blood, probably because it really happened, was quite chilling. I found the most chilling aspects of this book were more about the state of society, crime and punishment...

I know I'm probably alone on this one, but I found Paul Atriedes (the 'hero' from Dune - Frank Herbert) totally obnoxious. If anybody needed taking out and beating with a very large stick, it was him. :mad:

I was slightly bored during the first few chapters of this book - when they went to the Quidditch World Cup, I thought it dragged a bit. The rest was great though. I am surprised that most people found it much better than the rest (not just here but in The Big Read) - in my opinion they are...

I'm not usually a fan of 'chick lit.' (with the exception of Marian Keyes) but really enjoyed this book and the sequel. I think one of the reasons it was so successful was the fact that most people could relate to her insecurities. Being a smoker, I had to smile in sympathy when reading...

Very funny - I'm going to send this to all my friends. :)

Only me.... sorry to ressurrect my own thread but am now half way through book three, and I have the following comments to make. I'm finding it quite difficult to believe that this is actually a book aimed specifically at children, I mean you can read it on so many different levels. I can...

Welcome to TheBookForum zenwalrus. Enjoy. :)

I absolutely think you can ruin a good book by over-analysis. I remember sitting in A-level English Lit. listening to the teacher going on about what the author REALLY meant and thinking "How do you know what the author really meant?". I sure all we ended up doing was critiquing not the books...

As far as the Fremen are concerned, I'm afraid I don't have anything new to add to the argument (I mean debate). In my opinion, they were portrayed very positively, and you've got to admire the way they coped with all that adversity. They were a bit of strange bunch though, I certainly...
