Maybe it is. If so, I had a sex change and maybe turned gay (there's 2 characters in my cell). :whistling: Haven't yet read Speak, Memory; it's on the never-ending TBR list.

I'm in a cell, too. Not waiting for my beheading, however. Well at least I don't think so. Somewhere in Latin America. Nice to see Nabokov is still popular around here. :)

Well, I think now I have to see it, so ordered.

I want a kindle! Though that BeBook is looking tempting... MC, a review please, if you do succumb and buy one? The reason is that I never thought I'd ever be interested in reading a book from a piece of plastic, like I'm not interested in learning to cook using a Nintendo DS (i or lite or...

Happy birthday Stewie. And, er, I text you as well. Will PM you :D Hope you've had a super smashing special birthday!

Never heard or visited most of them, aside from Amazon and Newcastle's Blackwells. No, not even Abe Books, I don't think. I'm going to make it a priority to visit Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights, though, as I haven't come across it in Bath so far. It looks wonderful! As for WH Smith...

Hi Hedwig. What an interesting introduction - welcome!

I have a coffee table but on it I just have a plant. I have a larger table against a wall, too, which is like a bigger version of a coffee table - I guess it's like a small dining table, and on that I have just a plant as well. I can't stand clutter. My parents' coffee table is full of piles...

Oh. Stewart is a question? I was thinking more along the lines of: Something To Enjoy With A ... I guess I'd better not complete it. I don't think Stewart's a question; rather, a statement.

Ooh, Sea Wolf is great!

Having dinner with one of the Krays.

I only recently watched the Godfathers, and of the rest posted in this thread, I've only seen most of the Hitchcocks. Never even heard of some of them.

Extreme: My Autobiography, Sharon Osbourne

Why is the title so?

You're So Vain, Carly Simon. It's always in my head, and whenever anyone mentions a song stuck in your head, it returns. Argh!

When I was 13, I will have read (at least) 3-5 books a week too. I was only allowed out until 7.30pm or something, then, and I never slept. I had to go to bed at 9pm, but I read at least a book a night then. And more at weekends. And I was always grounded for something. I remember going...

Well I'm all for increased choices. As long as people still want real, paper books, then how can the ebook totally replace them? Surely CDs replaced LPs because they were better, and the demand for LPs diminished. The same with VHS. VHS sales dwindled before films became released on DVD only...

Well, it's possible that only A Short History of Tractors in the Ukrainian and the book I read, were set in Peterborough, in recent years. :D

Well done Stewart and Ice. You've been wonderful around here, and all that.

I've tried to read many Pratchett's, but I just don't get them, or something. They are pointless, with little story, awful humour, and I'll never, as long as I live, understand what the fuss is all about with him. I actually read The Science of Discworld (Pratchett, Stewart & Cohen) all the...
