    Fantasy Movies

    Turns out Pan Labyrinth is on at the small theatre here that shows more independent movies and I'm going with my friends next month. One of them has already seen in and says it is amazing. *dances*

    How many books do you buy in a month?

    I'm tempted to do that, but I've figured out that at the rate I went through them last year, I wouldn't get to buy any books for the next year and a half... so nuts to that! :D

    How often do you post?

    :) Well thank you both, but I swear I'm not American! :p (Or, you know, any of the other things.) It can be hard coming up with ideas for new threads, and sadly my brain is a little flat at the moment because of school. Heck, I'm supposed to be revising right now. But I agree, more people...

    How often do you post?

    And that would be the half-coherent part... Err I don't know (but I am very tempted to quote a Maria Bamford joke...).

    It's me. It's not personal with this forum, I do it a lot. :p

    How many books do you buy in a month?

    I honestly have no idea. I buy second hand most of the time so it really depends on if I get out shopping and what I can find. :D The most I bought was 20... but that was in one day. :rolleyes:

    How often do you post?

    As my join date will tell you, I have been here for quite some time. However, I don't post as much as others. This is mainly due to me clicking "reply to thread" and after typing a half-coherent reply chickening out and clicking the back button on my browser. :o (I've already done it to this...

    What is your Major?

    We're not all American. ;) And some people have become what they want to be (or are angry and middle-aged because they don't like their job :confused: ) Next year (correction, THIS year, but September) I will be starting at university to study English Literature and History of Art. I'm not...

    How possessive are you about your books?

    There are only certain people that I will lend my books and manga to willingly now. When lending out I also remind them they will be shot if they dare to dog-ear the pages. I don't like it when my own books are damaged, but since I have to buy secondhand most of the time, little tears and marks...

    Help...the name of this book...

    It sounds slightly like a book I once read but can't remember the name of... did it by any chance have anything to do with a well leading onto a long passage and some skeletons at the end?

    Why Can't Female Writers Write?

    Nice to see I'm not the only one who noticed the expansion of eyez0nme's vocabulary had to come from another source. :rolleyes: Society has changed much in the past 200 years. Women were not able to write novels because of the social view that they were basically inferior to men, others were...
