I've not really noticed or compared before, of the examples given I mostly prefer the UK versions, especially in Shade's examples. I like a clean, simple cover and I have decided not bought books because the covers were awful and I thought I'd be too embarrassed to read it in public. I think in...

Happy Birthday DS !!! :)

Did your post disappear? Maybe your just speechless? Since I'm in Germany now all the my space pages are in German, I'll have to see how I switch them to English as my German isn't that good yet.

Hey, I'm working on it, sometimes I post a whole sentence or two and while that may not be all that impressive, consider that when I started here I basically just got out a grunt in the affirmative or the negative. :p :D

Hello JohnB :)

I don't recognize all the names either but we had a local radio personality in Seattle get fired and stir up a similiar debate about freedom of speech. He had choose to air some mocking clips about the soldier that was beheaded in Iraq, he offended most of his listening audience (a large portion...

I've liked all the Dickens' books that I have read too. And I don't think my dislike of Faulkner is in any way a negative reflection of his writing style, just on my reading style :) Did that make any sense? I can see that he is a good writer but just not one suited to my tastes.

Ah, see, I loved the Virgin Suicides and Middlesex too. I like Eugenides writing style, I think he is an excellent story teller. The Virgin Suicides had the perfect note of nostalgia that kids have when looking at important events from their past.

It would be nice to hear a little about why people didn't like what they read, For instance I don't care for William Faulkner much, I've tried 2 of his books the Sound And the Fury and As I Lay Dying. Both books have a lot of good hype, many like Faulkner. I think it's just too complex, I am a...

I have not started the George R. R. Martin books yet, it takes a lot for me to start a series :o What do you think of them?

I read She Flew The Coop by Michael Lee West 7/10, The God Of Small Things by Arundhati Roy 8/10, Affinity by Sarah Waters 7/10, Bitten by Kelley Armstrong 8/10 and The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields 5/10. I started a book blog this month mostly so I can keep track of what I thought of the...

For pirates and some humor you might like Gideon Defoe's books. I liked The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientist, I've not read the others yet.

I've been meaning to post this and always forget a link to a site that has his life and some of his works in the original french and in english http://www.mag4.net/Rimbaud/indexe.html

I just finished Affinity and will be reading more by her. I thought Affinity was pretty good, I was wanting to know a bit more about many of the lesser characters but I think she did a very good job of building the relationship between the 2 main characters. The setting(a Victorian women's...

I did read some Gogol after seeing him mentioned in a novel (was it Namesake? darn my fading memory) anyways, I liked what I read. I've not really picked up many short story collections, but may start reading some. The Decapitated Chicken, that Abecedarian mentioned in another thread looked...

Some links for you- http://museumofglass.org/ http://www.pdza.org/ The zoo has great aquariums, too. And there's a really good, little bison/buffalo burger place on the way, on Pearl street I think. If you like museums you can get a 3 museum pass that will allow you to visit the glass, art and...
