14 out of 15. I have no idea which one I got wrong though.

Maybe it's picking up some of Lenny Nero's reviews?

Whoops, sorry, typo. Not that it matters, as it's now $2 a litre.

I used to play competitive Scrabble(R), and Letter Heads is a term I coined for the players I met, as Stefan Fatsis has already used Word Freaks.

NZ$1.73 a litre, which is NZ$6.55 for a US gallon. At today's exchange rates that's US$5.00 a gallon.

The most common reason for banning a book seems to be "I don't like it, so you have to not like it as well." Is it because it is easier to hurt than to help? By this I mean, rather than take the time and effort to understand and discuss other points of view it is easier to shut them down and...

I'm more than moderate, but not quite voracious as described. My reading speed is about 50 pages per hour, so it usually takes me 3 to 4 weekdays or 1 to 2 weekend days to read a book. I don't, however, have a book in my hand all the time. Eating, working and driving make it difficult.

1) One Book that made you read it More Than Once: The Lie of the Land - Rhonda Bartle. While there are a few books I keep for re-reading, this book is the first one that once I had finished I went back to the beginning and started again. 2) One book you would want on a desert island: The...

A fistfull of well read cancelled library books and a marked down copy of 'It Ain't Necessarily So . . . Bro' by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.

I started keeping a list a couple of years ago, using an MSN Spaces blog. My reading has actually changed because of this. The first year I ended up reading a book title for each letter of the alphabet, the second year I alternated fiction and non-fiction with a month of each. No theme this...

I'm in the Ozarks watching and old woman trying to keep a young man captive using magic and bribery.

I got as far as "upload it to your server" and stalled. Not that it matters, as I run Webshots and my wallpaper changes hourly. At the moment it is autumn leaves. No icons, they spoil the images.

Good grief, as Charlie Brown would say. I had a quick search for The Plucker, and it certainly looks dark. Have a look here.

There were four of us - George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency.

I see the blue frame of my grandson's swing and slide. Through that are rooftops in various shades of gray, interspersed with pohutukawa trees. In the distance is the bush-lined cliff edge which drops off into the Tasman Sea. At the moment the sea is but gently ruffled.

Rebecca Shaw's Village novels such as A Village Feud, Whispers in the Village, A Village Dilemma, Talk of the Village, The New Rector, Intrigue in the Village etc. Try Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children for flowing ambiguous prose.

Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes, maybe? How about Billy Bunter stories? I don't know of any modern literature, which is not to say there isn't any, it's just that these are books I remember from my youth.

Written by men claiming god's influence. FTFY.

Needle by Hal Clement. Larry Niven's Gil Hamilton books such as The Patchwork Girl and The Long ARM of Gil Hamilton. You might want to consider Asimov's Black Widower's stories as well. Two other books, while not being strictly science-fiction mysteries, certainly have elements of both, are...
