    How to cleanly dispose of a bug

    If it's alive I'll do that and take it outside. If it's already dead I'm a big wimp and call my husband to deal with it. I once refused to make dinner until my husband got home because of a dead bug on the kitchen counter. Don't ask me why I'm so terrified of bug carcasses... I have no idea.

    Kathy Reichs - Temperance Brennan Series

    I read a couple books in the series and enjoyed them. I really need to pick up the next one... I'm itching to know what happens next! I don't think I can compare them to Bones since they're so different. I like to think of them as the books that Bones writes on the show.

    Another film adaptation post

    I disagree with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Was it as good as the book? Of course not. But I thought it was clever, funny and really captured the spirit of the book.

    J.K. Rowling: Mistakes found in Harry Potter

    In the last book Hermione puts a memory charms on her parents so they'll forget her, but later that book she tells Harry that she's never done a memory charm before. Maybe snakes refuse to wink for muggles?

    Gay marriage

    Interesting idea Jez. I'm not sure I agree with you, but I certainly don't disagree with you about the government needing to stay out of our bedrooms. How would this work practically speaking? Should government officials still have the power to marry couples? If government has no power in who...

    Great new holiday books?

    No I wouldn't. I'm not saying both aren't great stories, but I don't know if kids will appreciate them, especially around Christmas!

    Great new holiday books?

    If that's the book I'm thinking of, it's a horrible, horrible book to read to children! Made me cry when I was a kid.

    Will monkeys really type Shakespeare if given enough time?

    Someone actually gave them a grant to do this? If they have so much money to burn, I'll gladly take some off their hands!

    What books do you re-read and why?

    I have re-read The Princess Bride countless times. It's a comfort thing for me too.

    Clive Cussler

    I've heard these rumours too. Looking at the writing style and the rate at which he's pumping out new books, I tend to believe it.

    Buying multiple copies.

    Abebooks, or Ebay have good deals. You might want to talk to your local bookstore and see if they'll give you a discount for ordering in bulk.

    Fast Flip by Google

    Very cool new feature! Thanks for the tip!

    Looking for suggestions.

    Well Stephen King comes to mind right away, although he isn't really my cup of tea. I would really recommend you try some gothic literature... although they are usually more suspenseful than violent. Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca and Jamaica Inn are both great books.

    The only reason I look forward to fall/winter...

    As a woman, I agree that fall fashions are much more fun! And I could see how men might think so too... I guess it leaves more to the imagination when women all around you aren't dressing like tramps.

    Nifty bookmark

    Very cool idea for a bookmark! I sometimes use something like that, but not nearly so cool. Agreed, the website is impossible to navigate! And how did I end up with 2 cherubs chasing me around??

    Do you read series?

    I used to boycott series for that very reason. But one day I picked up The Hobbit without realizing it was part of The Lord of the Rings and that changed my opinion of series. Whether I continue reading after Book One depends on how much the author managed to get my interest. I'm not going to...
