    Favourite Poems

    I just found it a bit melancholy pontalba, as I posted after Peder's post, I don't think I have a romantic soul or maybe it's just that I've passed the romantic stage. I remember reading a poem by one of the 'famous' poets when I was in school and it involved planting the loved one's head in a...

    Who is your favourite author, and why?

    I can't remember how the books and the movies compared. In fact, I don't remember a whole lot about the books except that I seemed to be on a James Bond kick - this was probably around 1966 as I remember reading them when I was expecting our youngest son, in fact I was finishing off one of the...

    Favourite Poems

    I like Robert Frost's poetry, I can usually get the gist of his poems without a lot of wondering what he's talking about. Some of the ethereal poems leave me thinking that maybe the only person who knows what the poet is saying is the poet himself/herself. But then I haven't made a study of...

    Who is your favourite author, and why?

    I read all the Ian Fleming novels and saw most of the movies - with all the different incarnations of 007. I liked Q and I think my favourite Bonds were Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. The most recent one is o.k. but not as sophisticated as the previous ones. However I'm getting away from...

    No Meadow you're not, it is easier when the titles are longer but that's the way the game goes. Sometimes you just have to use whatever works. The Quiet American - Graham Greene

    It's too bad, they used to be good adventure stories, even my elderly aunt was still reading them in her late 80's.

    Who is your favourite author, and why?

    Doesn't he co-author his latest books with another writer. I read that James Patterson hardly ever does his own writing now, he gives the writer a plot line and lets him go to it, maybe oversees it but doesn't write it himself. Maybe Cussler does the same. I guess it's Dirk Pitt Jr. now who...

    Favourite Poems

    Had a look at some other poems by Ezra Pound and I think I would have to take a course on how to 'read' what to me doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe it's just the rhythm of the writing or a word picture that appeals. :confused:

    Recently Finished

    Pontalba: Just looked up a review to see what someone else's viewpoint was and this was what was said about the ending. I don't want to say more for fear of spoiling the suspense, but one gets the sense the author just got tired of the whole book, and rushed through the ending; So I guess...

    Favourite Poems

    Don't think I've read anything by Ezra Pound before, an unusual poem, not sure if I like it or not, seems somehow a bit melancholy. Just noticed Peder's response, maybe I don't have a romantic soul!
