You're really loving this spoiler thing, aren't you! :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you for the birthday wishes! :) Santa did redeem himself by slipping my husband a collection of Agatha Christie mysteries (Hercule Poirot, of course!). All in all, a good season for books this year!

You are most cordially welcome, good fellow! It's nice to meet another Clive Cussler fan!

I would like to update this thread a tad... I am no longer 22, today I turn 23! :D

Santa brought me Kathy Reichs' Fatal Voyage. He wasn't very generous, especially since I led him around the bookstore like a puppy showing him books I wanted. :rolleyes: But I'm reserving judgment for the time being... he may be saving a few for my birthday today. I'll let you know!:p

Makes sense. Young adults need more of the library's resources for school projects, they've also grown up with libraries at school so it's an environment they're used to. And they usually don't have lots of money to buy books, so borrowing would be the method of choice.

I dunno about that... I'm so glad I'm not a teenager anymore! And this is Aaron, Bookgirl.

The reason law exists is to see things from a perspective that people don't. If you and I both witnessed that fight, we might take 2 entirely different things away from it. I might see a man getting brutally slain, but if you were more observant, (or perhaps closer to the scene, or had a better...

Best wishes, our thoughts are with you! Please keep us posted!

How poetic Helgi! :) Welcome Vestes! :D

The Truth About Squirrels

The Lost World, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

It would help a bit if I knew whose laws you object to... I live in Canada and am pretty happy with our system, in spite of our current leaders. Most of our laws come right out of England's constitution. There are procedures in place to make more laws or get rid of others as the times change and...

I have another idea for you, but it might take some acting! My grand-father was disqualified from jury duty because of his abismal understanding of English. Fake an accent and ask for clarification on every other sentence and I'd be very surprised if you were picked!

Here is a website that lists books that have been banned throughout the world and why. A few choice examples: Did 6 Million Really Die? by Richard Harwood - Previously banned in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and most of mainland Europe, Germany and Austria in particular, for...

The internet has decreased my interest in reading at all. I spend more time reading about books than actually reading them. Oh the irony! I agree completely! I'm obsessed with the really old adventure stories (Jules Verne, Jonathon Swift, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, etc...) but they just don't...

The world would be a horrible place without stories! But it would be nice to read something a little more "outside the box". That's why I love all the old adventure novels written in the 18th, 19th and early 20th century. The world was still such a mystery that anything was possible. It almost...

We have a TV, but to be honest I don't use it much. The internet is a different story however! But I run a restaurant so after working 12 hours or so, my brain's pretty much fried and reading doesn't happen.

For aspiring writers, I'd suggest reading everything you can get your hands on. Read lots of classic literature (Bible too). There's nothing worse than reading an author who thinks he's so original and new, but has no background in the his field.
