    So, what happened?

    It was a problem with the server rather than the domain not being renewed. All fixed now though :)

    Harry Potter Fan Fiction?

    There'll always be fan fiction, not all of which will ever get post to the net, but are there any particularly good Harry Potter Fan Fiction stories out there? Do people think that there shouldn't be any fan fiction at all, and we should just leave the Harry Potter world as JK Rowling left it?

    J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    I'm a little late to the party, but better late than never. Just finished reading all of the books in sequence. I'd read the first one a while back before the films, but it was only after watching the latest film, that I decided to go back and read the whole series. In the end, I became very...

    Promoting B&R Offline?

    The forums have been online since Nov 2001 - began on ezBoard, and then moved to their own site in March 2002. Last year the site name was changed from "The Book Forum" to "Book & Reader".

    Dan Brown: Digital Fortress

    Just finished reading Digital Fortress. What a piece of junk! The plot is average, but very predicatable and transparent. The character development is non-existant and the writing style is patronising. The ending is very weak and I too found myself shouting the answer out pages before the...

    Promoting B&R Offline?

    What other ideas do people have for promoting this site? Advertising on other sites, or search engines (eg Google) is way too expensive.

    Harry Potter Seventh Book Pre-Sales Speculations and Discussions

    The Bloomsbury children's edition cover just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the series. The hi-res cover is here (takes a while to download).

    April 2007 Book of the Month Synopsis What if a look-alike stranger stole your name, usurped your biography, and went about the world pretending to be you? In his extraordinary new book, his most ingenious and original work since "The Counterlife", Phillip Roth confronts his double, an imposter...

    Promoting B&R Offline?

    I asked my local library about placing a poster on their noticeboard in the entrance and they were happy for me to do so. As long as the books are not damaged or defaced, I don't see a problem. Libraries would probably not agree with post-it notes, and we can't officially support that, but...

The blog content is owned by the poster and their are options to download your blog content in XML format for use elsewhere if you wish. Unless you setup your own site and install your own blogging software...

    Promoting B&R Offline?

    I've put some logos up at www.bookandreader.com/resources I could have a go at designing some cards and bookmarks, but I'm not that great at design, and also I'd be in A4 rather than the US paper sizes.

    Promoting B&R Offline?

    I was thinking about ways to promote the site offline and would be interested to hear other people's thoughts. I had thought about having an area a bit like bookcrossing.com where members could register a book and then "pass it on" to someone else, either throught a secondhand book shop...
