No, you're not heartless. Each to their own, as ever, but it wasn't a good book. It was dull. One of the few books I've truly not liked. I wish I could explain why, but, alas, I can't. To put some perspective on the matter, hearing people recommend The Lovely Bones is to me, on a par...

You know every time I go to main page, it seems someone has just reviewed this book. Most odd.

If nothing else, you've got to love the chap's name. Janwillem van de Wetering

This truly is the Never Ending Thread! Hurrah! This still remains the most popular book in my 'library'. The kids love it! Consequently I have banned it.

I have this on my pile. Picked it up months ago. It's orange.

Well, when I said 'a few people', one of them was our own fair Stewart. I promise I will pick it up again, just as soon as I'm finished with the academia.

The issue I had with this book, is that I heard of the porn film of the same name first. Thus whilst reading it I had a hard time thinking of anything else apart from, well, porn. I kept expecting rude sex. With animals. Possibly with humans and animals. Curse my childhood. However I...

I did enjoy the book. So much so, that like Krys I (almost) blindly bought Middlesex (in fact, a few people had recommended it so I wasn't quite blind. But I hadn't bothered to look up what it was about). Now I am part way through Middlesex and have been for about a month. Whilst I...

Yes the book was better than the film, but that hardly took much effort. The film, mediocre at best plods along nicely and then turns into a video game? What a load of rubbish. The books a nice mindless little number. Just the kind of thing that suits me.

Mine is ICQ. I can spend hours watching the constant offers of porn pop up on my screen. Warms my cockles. So loved am I. What be your favourite traditional English ale? Mine's Lancashire Brown Ale.

I think where you went wrong, is you didn't mention someone from here oh Watery one. Poor Billy Oblivion Banned Banned Banned He was such a silly one Banned. Cut down in his prime Lived a life of petty crime Liked to play in the grime. Now he can spend time with his one time hero...

Seriously Novella, where's the re-write? Or maybe I ought to do it. The whole carwash, choking on a tuna sarnie and being ravished by the chubby, sweaty car wash dude is one of my top 10 fantasies. And all thanks to you.

Double spacing would be even easier on ones eyes.

I know it's terrible un-PC, but could we possibly make people apply for a licence to be naked? So we don't end up having to look at lots of ugly naked people? That's my main issue with the whole nudist movement... they're all so damn repulsive. On the whole prostitution thingymibob - they...

Welcome back Wabbit. I'm sure we all missed you. Strange, you must have been on the Isle at the same time as the first years from my uni. They were there on a fieldtrip. Notice a huge gaggle of budding geographers followed by 2 or 3 old men in tweed?

For breakfast I'd take you for a traditional Lancashire hotpot at the bakers down the road, washed down with a bottle of Lancashire Brown Ale. Then we might take our chances and hop over the border to Halo-land - for some Yorkshire puds. Then back over the border down to my local curry spot...

Thinking of me? Daydreaming, hoping and praying I'd return? And here I am. What joy! I can't imagine I promised biscuits. Doesn't sound terribly like me. I have some shortbread though?

If she comes in here looking for me, you aint seen me.

Manchester is an active quake-site. There's lot of earthquakes everywhere, all the time. Just a matter of how large they are.

Ditto. Aside from hugging trees, a lot of my course concerns disasters such as these. My issue now, is whether to base my next essay on this particular event, or stick to one a little less raw.
