In my flat I tend to be the one to do the baking while my flatmate prefers to do most of the cooking himself. And most of our meals don't really follow any set recipes, just varying quantities of vegetables and carbs with herbs, spices, oils and sauces thrown about over them in lots of...

This is the only book-based forum I visit on a regular basis. Though "a regular basis" doesn't count for much as I've been lacking in my attendance over the last year as I've been on shakey internet connections and my internet time has been severely cut. Not that I'm complaining, I'm rather glad...

Lanark Alasdair Gray Never Let Me Go Kazuo Ishiguro The Guardians John Christopher Plus I hear V for Vendetta has a novelization out now which is based on the film, based on the original graphic novel. Dystopia is one of those genres I always mean to go back to and read/study in greater depth.

Once I finish drooling on the keyboard I'm ordering myself the set.

I'd say approximately 550. My Listal list of read books isn't quite complete at the moment as I still have to add quite a few manually and then theres the ones I can't remember the titles of. I only properly started keeping track 3 years ago. (Also, it's been a long time since my last post...

Huzzah! I read more than last years 52 books! Which surprised me since I've been too busy with university stuff to barely pick up a book in the last 3 months (or come on here). :( Anyway, on with the list: 1 Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy (finished it from 2006, so didn't know...

Thanks everyone! I've not been on much lately because I moved house and have no internet at home at the moment. :( I got a small pile of books for my birthday and £25 of book tokens which I'm going to plan my spending of when I leave the library. :D Hope you had a good one too nomadic myth! :D

I've not had a proper chance to check them out after discovering them a few months ago, but I don't know whether to be put off by them performing with Madonna or not. :p

My secondhand haul of the day, and I restrained myself this time because I really ran out of room a while ago. Paperweight - Stephen Fry (£2.00) Lasher - Anne Rice (£2.00) Girl, Interrupted - Susanne Kaysen (£2.00) The Abortionist's Daughter - Elisabeth Hyde (£1.59) The Works of Oscar...

Nice price indeed. The Amber Spyglass is actually the final book in a trilogy and you'll want to read the first two first because it is an excellent trilogy. The Northern Lights (also known as The Golden Compass) and The Subtle Knife. ;) Enjoy.

I had a quick Google search to see if there was a recommended material for book shelves and one site said smooth metal. Obviously from an aesthetic view that is not the way to go, so I'd just go for a wood that looks good in the environment you choose. :p Having my own personal library is one...

First time reading it. I enjoyed it (rated it a 7/10) and thought it was better than Dracula (I compare these as they are two of the most talked about classic monster novels).

We're doing a clean out for moving and I claimed these for myself from my mum's shelf: Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami (I'm the only one who has read it anyway) Sleepers - Lorenzo Carcaterra (ditto for this one, plus I have the second one already) Sunset Song - Lewis Grassic Gibson (wanted...

Slow month for me.. Fully completed: The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitsgerald Frankenstein - Mary Shelley Also finished The Salmon of Doubt, which took me a while because I was on holiday and barely had time to read it, and started Emma by Jane Austen, which I'm still readinng.

My little second-hand haul of the day: The Robber Bride - Margaret Atwood (£0.95) To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee (£1.00) Fingersmith - Sarah Waters (£1.59) Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte (£1.25, the exact edition I was looking for for my university course) Wilderness Tips - Margaret...

We've had a smoking ban up here for more than a year, and since we flogged off Gordon Brown on you lot in England then Stewart is quite true in saying that we're sweeter. :p Apparently the ban has encouraged people to quit, but I haven't actually taken notice of much because I don't smoke.

I don't like them. I was extremely surprised when The Dresden Dolls headlined for them, but they got a nice music video out of it. I think quite a lot of Dresden Doll fans were shocked and disapointed at the combination of the two, but the video is a nice way of playing on the sentiments of the...

I got Emma by Jane Austen the other day. The first of my new buys for starting university in September.

Coma? :confused: I didn't think a book could be done twice?

Clicky. Everything you need to know about your terminology. ;)
