Absolutely! I've been saying for years that, instead of auditions, they should be throwing men into tiger pits and only give them the job if they can kill their way out using only their own teeth and nails as weapons. My friend runs an acting school where the morning lessons for the chaps...

Or 'one deeply disturbed woman wrote a book that appeals to pubescent girls who are too inexperienced to understand yet that stalking, obsession and control does not equal love, so some other people made a film out of it knowing that those girls would pay a bundle of cash to see it and then one...

Boneshaker was ace. Zombies and Zeppelins.

Just squash it with your thumb and lick it off. It's nature's way.

It's derived from Cyberpunk, which involved future technology, but is set in an alternative history and so has old-fashioned 'steam' technology.

So you hate the colour blind, is that it?

Stop being so mean. Surely we can help a soul in distress with their homework? A Room with a View - Jane Austen fights against a corrupt government and is locked away in a mental asylum. Eventually her lawyer, Atticus Finch, is able to prove that she was framed by his neighbour, Edward...

I like the blue one.

Yes. It's terribly romantic when a chap sneaks into my house at night to watch me sleep, forbids me from seeing my friends, threatens to kill me and then disappears off for months on end with no contact. It sets off butterflies in my tummy...that he then rips open with his teeth because he's...

Cities in Flight. 640 pages long according to Amazon. I gave up two pages before the end. It was a painful struggle to get through and I kept thinking to myself 'It's nearly over, I'm nearly there', and the frigging author just wouldn't let well enough alone. He couldn't just end it, he had...

Twilight is one of the funniest books I've ever read. The last book has a single moment of horror within it I suppose. If you're a victim of spousal abuse it could be read as a taut psychological horror. But mostly it's funny. Especially if you imagine the music from the film in your head as...

Marrow by Robert Reed. The Algebraist by Iain M Banks mebbe. Ringworld by Larry Niven definitely.

I have The Book of the New Sun: Volume 1 from the Fantasy Masterworks series. I found it plodding and dull. I'm pretty sure a book about an apprentice torturer should be a lot more entertaining, but it felt like the book was more about the writing style (which was very dense) than the plot...

An uncanny likeness! Of course, I usually carry a fighting spork rather than a sword, but anything pointy is ok with me.

Yeah. In the original, the guy behind her isn't smoking. They just put that in to make it look like she keeps bad company.

Maybe she could bring in aerial hunting licences for librarians. A bounty of $1000 for every hair bun.

Stewart's really more of an enigma than a question.

You're the first person to agree with me. I've not read the Bliss book, but since The Sparrow I might stick to Pigs in Space and give the priests a wide berth.

I didn't like it but lots of people did. They did stupid things that people just wouldn't do and that annoyed me, but when I've discussed the book with other people they didn't much notice it. The alien society is (obviously) very different to the way we live here, and certain aspects were...
