Just think of the money you will save by not smoking. In the UK it must be nigh on £5 a packet now. Just think, thats more than one brand new book for every two packets. If you smoke a packet a day that's about four and a half books a week. You'd have enough books to last a life time in a couple...

You're right, at least you don't but anyone near you may do.

I totally agree. When you post in "just finished........... " if you're lucky it may get a "yes I liked that book as well" and then it's swamped by the next 50 just finished titles.

I notice there are a few cat owners here. Well I've got a bit of a dilemma here. I used to quite like cats but my neighbour, whom we don't really have that much to do with except a quick wave if we see each other in the drive, has got two. My question is, do cat lovers, like I think the...

Interesting first post. What about Lolita. That's quite far back. Maybe not sluty enough though.

Why not wait a month or so and read A Christmas Carol. It's short, easy and typical Dickens. I've read it every Christmas for the last few years to my six year old son and I enjoy it anyway.

I'm sure if Thomas Pynchon came on here we'd let him discuss whatever he liked whether it was his yet to be released novel or not. I doubt he'd get a warning.

Do I see another Martinesque thread about to kickoff?

I thought maybe you'd walked into a door :)

Do you mean Roddy Doyle. I've read all his books and it is a bit annoying.

"You should try everything once except for incest and country dancing" Stephen Fry, Paperweight.

Thanks for that. Maybe I'll get the wife one.

I've liked all of Stephen Fry's books but never really understood the title of Moab. I particularly liked the five "ands" in a row in one sentence in Paperweight.

The Canon Pro 1 is definitely worth a look at the price they're now going for. DP review has got to be the place to check out anything photographic by the way.

I'm sure the term " our au pair" was used a lot more in the seventies and early eighties by middle class families just to let you know how better off than you they were. I can't say I've noticed it used quite so much these days; though maybe it's just me.

The UK is gradually turning into the same litigious society as you have but we're not quite there yet thank you very much. All the same it could be worth a punt.

They don't need an au pair, they need SUPER NANNY!

Thanks very much Dele, you obviously read the Google results in more depth than I did. Most of the results class this as a horror book which I would have said it wasn't. I think I will try to get hold of a copy.

It's a book I read about 22 years ago and at the time I thought it was a great tale; it may well not be 22 years later. I've had a pretty good search, Google etc. but no luck. I'm sure the title was "The Tribe" but I could well be wrong, I don't know the author. The story is based in a...
