I think you are going to have to expand upon your request as currently it makes no sense.

That's just nonsense. A lot of popular things are considered to be very good. What's to be negative about is cynical remakes when there's no need, other than a deficit of ideas, to bother with them. It doesn't sound like this movie brings anything new to the genre or tries to break any new...

Based on trusted opinion, I don't think I'm going to bother. I saw in the letters page of a newspaper someone suggested taking a plank to the cinema and jiggling it about when Keanu spoke and try to spot the difference.

Read the service agreement you signed, the bit about advertising especially. Thanks.

I read his Becoming Abigail earlier this year, but sadly never reviewed it. I'll read it again, I think, as it was only seventy pages, or so, and I remember little of it, other than a general thread of people trafficking, which I may have exaggerated. It was set between Nigeria and England, anyway.

Put a dead fox in a basket and you could have Roadside Picnic.

Yeah, same here. I remember reading up on the Hungarian Revolution after reading Ferenc Karinthy's Metropole. And recently, after Le Clezio's Terra Amata, discovered that the main character, Chancelade, is likely named after a skull found in France. The novel takes its name from another French...

Dull prose, flat dialogue - what's surprising?

Coming soon. I believe the first edit was crap, so they pushed release back while they find a cut that test audiences approve of.

My nearest Waterstone's has a knowledgeable book seller, with a good knowledge of Eastern European and Latin American literature. When he learns of new publishers, you start seeing their books appear on the world fiction tables in store. The events the store has had have been interesting...

Er, you do know the film is out? It's called W. That article harks back to January. EDIT: Apologies, I just saw you're in Canada. ;)

I knew I was missing one, but just couldn't think what it was. Thanks.

By sheer chance I noticed this the other day in a book store, and swithered over whether to buy it. At the time, I didn't, preferring to wait for a couple of books I know are out today. But I may return to it in time. Part of Iain Banks' Complicity is written in the second person, as is the...

I wish I could keep my buying down. As it stands I've about 640 unread books on my shelves. Today I've just added two more: War, J.M.G. Le Clézio The Book Of Flights, J.M.G. Le Clézio

It's a bit of a joke the design change has gone ahead on the main template rather than whoever is developing a new one doing so on a second template.

Another redneck for you.

Is this the Stephanie Meyer book, the Dean Koontz one, or one of the other million that have probably been called Twilight?

It was okay as a first read when I started on the Booker list. It's certainly not winner material. I had a bit of a rant about it here. Overall, a bad year for the Booker.
