Vimes:cool: first shows up in Guards! Guards!. The two other books of the Guards trilogy are Men at arms and Feet of clay, but Vimes & co turn up in other books as well. See http://www.lspace.org/books/whos-who/vimes.html *mrkgnao*

Well, it was a bit labyrinthine... ;) I figure . My, it's black as a tomb here! :D Hope this makes it clearer? *mrkgnao*

Here are some recommendations of "low fantasy" books: everything by Neil Gaiman "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke (magicians in 19th century England) "The hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy" (5 books) by Douglas Adams (more sci-fi than fantasy, but everything and anything...

I like pictures in a novel, it gives it an extra dimension. I also like it when e.g. poems or songs break into the prose. For it to count as a graphic novel, I suppose there'd have to be pictures on each page, with the text in the pictures. It seems it's more common with pictures in...

Two out of the four "loves" are Ennis talking about his daughters. Probably, that's the only safe place where he can pour his "love". Jack only ever gets (and gives, by all means) "this thing", "I swear", and similar evasions. I have a sad feeling that even if they'd met in San Francisco in...

What web sites and/or magazines et cetera do you read to get information and inspiration about books? *mrkgnao*

Isn't that the guy who wrote Barry Trotter? :rolleyes: ;)

Actually, we were doing market research long before anyone brought it up here :cool: There's not much statistics to get, but we'll try to spy on the competition. Basically, we're doing it by the book (The book is called (transl.) Starting and running a company) And there is quite a lot of...

Exec #1: Item six on the agenda: "The Meaning of Life" Now uh, Harry, you've had some thoughts on this. Exec #2: Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: People aren't wearing enough hats. Two...

Probably Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time-series, main character's called Rand al'Thor.

Our store will/would have only English language paperbacks, mostly fiction but also non-fiction and children's/YA books. Right now a lot of general Swedish bookstores have an English paperback section, but everyone has more or less the same books, and we feel there's an unmet demand for a...

Ha ha, it turns out I'm right and you're all wrong!! :D ;) Casablanca has been voted Best Screenplay by The Writers Guild of America: http://www.wga.org/subpage_newsevents.aspx?id=1807 *mkrgnao*

Yep, we do! And the more experience we get, the more we want to call the shots ourselves. We're sure we could create The Ultimate Bookstore! Um, or something :rolleyes: *mkrgnao*

And unfortunately, Gothenburg is too tiny a town to open an alternative bookstore in... And it ought to be enough to be great booksellers: they should through money over us, and real estate, and books! :D ;) Someone here was an accountant... how 'bout it? We can't promise success but it is...

Rick: If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Ilsa: But what about us? Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back...

As quiet as humanly possible. Do you like quiet or listening to something when you read?

We'll be selling new books (so I'm considering Pink & Mrkgnao's New Books! :D ). And we don't know the location yet, but have been having thoughts along that line too: The Bookstore Down The Stairs &c... Now I want to open a dozen bookstores, I don't want to choose between all the great...

Oops, I'm sorry, I hadn't read your post in Members' introductions :o No offence intended.

I hope you other guys take this a bit too seriously with some of the more worried suggestions... ;) Mobius, I don't think you sound stupid and I hope there's nothing wrong with you! I know a lot of people don't have time in their lives, or the habit of taking the time, to be able to concentrate...
