There are so many from the series I could quote! But I'll only add one more: "'Ford', he said, 'You're turning into a penguin. Stop it.'" :D Here's something from Iain Banks' Walking on Glass: "'A tree house?' Graham teased back. 'Wasn't that a bit bunch?' Slater replied tartly: 'I...

Since it seems we're in need of suggestions I'm going to put forward Irwine Welsh's The Acid House. :)

I know there's an author (who isn't very good) with my name... but last year I read an except for a book which sounded ok, but one of the characters who died near the start had the same name (with an extra e added on the end) as my boyfriend and it was totally off putting. I didn't buy that book...

Yesterday I got: Mort by Terry Pratchett Captives/Breeding Ground by Shaun Hutson (a double book) Blue Diary by Alice Hoffman Madame Wu's Art of Chinese Cooking by Sylvia Wu Whit by Iain Banks Canal Dreams by Iain Banks The Color Purple by Alice Walker

I found a Wikipedia category which may interest you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Portuguese_literature I've not read any, but wish you luck in finding something you like. :)

I didn't get through much either this month because I was on holiday and didn't find much time to read. The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood Big Fish - Daniel Wallace Post Secret - Frank Warren Wizardology - Dugald Steer I loved Post Secret so much and will continue to say this. It was...

There's a series? Or do you refer to the other diaries Sparks tried to pass off as non-fiction?

I treated to myself to a lovely book yesterday when I was in Glasgow and I'm planning to read through it tonight. Post Secret by Frank Warren. It was a project where people had to send in their secrets on postcards and they were all put together into the one volume. It's a great book and...

While on holiday I bought a book called Fear and Trembling by Amelie Nothomb. If it was up to me I would have rescued more of the cheap books but my boyfriend pried me away from them saying something about them making my luggage heavy... :rolleyes:

I hope everything goes well lady.cordelia. :) This weekend is the start of the October break here in Scotland and I'm going on my first vacation in 9 years! Plus, it's the first time I've left the UK since I was 4! :p I'm off to Florida with my boyfriend and his family for the whole 2 weeks...

I play drums and piano (and keyboard if that counts as different). I tried to learn the violin but gave up because the strings really hurt my fingers. :o

It was a slow, slow month for me. The Emancipation of Women - D.C. Brooks Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood I did also finish Ecstacy by Irvine Welsh from August and I started Brave New World by Aldous Huxley... so it wasn't just those two really. :o

I bought A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley on Friday for my English dissertation.

I live in Britain and it had much less of an impact over here, but it was a great shock none the less. I don't know anyone over there personally so I had no real connection to it like some of you guys have. I was at school that day and didn't find out until I got home and my mum told me and...

I've debated buying it for a while, and was a bit fuzzy-headed today because of a cold and decided just to get it and see. I guess I'll be leaving this for a while until I have nothing else to read then...

I got 14 books today! :D Heres, the list, prices included. :rolleyes: Japanese Cooking - Judith Ferguson (£0.79) Burton on Burton - Tim Burton (£2.97 new) Shanghai Baby - Wei Hui (£2.97 new) The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood (£2.50) Watership Down - Richard Adams (£0.50) Dracula's...

I was at the open day at Glasgow University yesterday and found myself buying 2 books from the nearby Fopp for just £7 for the two. Waiting - Ha Jin Running with Scissors - Augusten Burroughs

August wasn't too bad a month for me. I finished: Surfacing - Margaret Atwood (started in July) The Good Women of China - Xinran Eragon - Christopher Paolini Animal Farm - George Orwell A Room with a View - E.M. Forster Keir Hardie and the Labour Party - Hyman Shapiro (a really short...

I've got 50-60 books waiting to be read on my shelves but I'm also quite shocked at my list of books I still want to buy! I have book tokens that I *still* haven't used from August because I can't choose which books to get and my list of wanted books is over 250 now. :o A few of the books...

This is the only book forum I visit, but I do visit a few on other subjects. My favourite forum is a little games walkthrough and help site called Walkthroughs from the-geek but it is currently down at the moment because of a recurring hacker problem. :( It *should* be back up soon though. I...
