Has anybody read any of her novels? I've just finished reading 'Pig Tales' (the original french novel is called 'Truismes' - I read the translation) and I'm overwhelmed by this strange but amazing book, it's brought out all kinds of feelings in me including pity and disgust but if you're looking...

I study english literature at uni, so unfortunately I'm forced to read my books fairly quickly in order to keep up. This semester I've needed to read 18 novels, great and small but I do find it really difficult to pick up the story and information I need when reading under pressure or to a set...

My personal favourite of Ben Elton's is "Past Mortem" - a reflection on social networking sites like Friends Reunited, with several grizzly crimes to solve, and comedy chucked in there too. I would treat it more like comedy than a crime novel but would definitely recommend it if you're...

I have Black Girl/White Girl in my to read pile, really looking forward to it. Anyone else read that one?

I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower and absolutely loved it. I want to find the time to read it again because it was really a fantastic read.

yeah, I find it so cheesy that it's really quite funny. I first watched it when I was feeling a bit down, and it cracked me up, so I bought it on DVD and it continues to make me laugh :)

I'd be interested to know. I've only been active on the site for a few days and yet I find myself logging on 3-4 times a day, often just to browse (might be something to do with being a bit of a lazy layabout student...) but seriously how regularly do you visit Book and Reader forums?

This is little embarrassing, but I've lost count of the number of times I've seen Con Air. I just love it...hilarious.:o

Absolutely! I despise this - I have no desire whatsoever to listen to your music. A lot of bus behaviour annoys me, it's been mentioned earlier but I hate it when elderly/pregnant people get on the bus and nobody stands up for them. This might be to do with how much cruddy student living...

I realise this was posted quite some time ago but I agree - a very funny author. As a younger teenager I read the Adrian Mole books, obviously missing out on much of the content, but re-read them a few years later and found them hilarious. I read 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' shortly afterwards...

I agree, in theory I like to read the book before seeing the film, recently there seems to have been a huge number of films based on books, so it's become a bit difficult. I saw 'The Da Vinci Code' before reading the book and found that the novel really helped fill in and explain parts of the...

Okay, I'm not exactly new. I've been a member for quite some time, but never really used the site much, but I intend to start now :) I'm a second year English Literature student from the UK, so I love reading as a hobby and a qualification. I always find it hard to pick one single favourite...

Heh, Yeah you can call me steph, I read all sorts of different things...lol...pulp romances :P

I'm studying Pride and Prejudice and Othello at the moment, and I'm enjoying the former so much! I read Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen for my GCSE coursework, and I didn't really enjoy it very much, so I'm suprised and pleased that I'm enjoying Pride and Prejudice :)

:) hey everyone, good to be here, i was looking for somewhere to talk about books and i guess I came to the right place :) I'm a sixth form student from Cambridge, England, and I'm studying English Literature, along with Psychology, Sociology, and Music. Anyway, nice to meet you all :cool...
