I am on Combe Island where two murder's have taken place. It is a very secluded private island with very controlled access so it obviously is one of the six residents at hand. Investigation is being hampered by an outbreak of SARS which means the island is now quarantined. So no we are stuck...

I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was mis-caste also until I saw him in "The Departed." It changed my view of him as an actor. I haven't seen Shutter Island and may not. I liked the book to much.:)

And here I was thinking that if you lived in a college town that everyone would be walking around with their nose stuck in a book. My illusion are shattered. Welcome aboard.:)

Welcome to the forum. You will surely get lots of recommendations here that will keep your head in the clouds. :)

Welcome to the forum. You live in one of my favorite places. I lived on Otis AFB for a few years when I was young. I have wonderful memories of that part of the world. Enjoy.

I remember. It was pure torture. Forget waterboarding, if you want me to divulge my secrets just let a bad reader loose on me. :lol:

My sincere condolences. I hope you find peace in the knowledge that his suffering is over.

I enjoyed "State of Fear." Another one for your Chrichton list.

I think sometimes there is a little bit of envy in people who mock readers. It's like they know they are missing something but they are to limited intellectually to overcome it. :D Recently my 23 year old daughter met a new co-worker who she hit it off with really well. They most...

I am truly sorry, Aqua. It's hard watching people you love suffer. I wish you and your family all the best.

While I agree with you about Twilight I think its a good thing when someone finds something that opens the door. If that's Twilight, so be it. After Twilight they might move on to other vampire/horror books and from there onto other themes. Remember, many people think of Harry Potter the...

This book depressed the heck out of me. Between the animal cruelty, the human cruelty and then realities of becoming old, feeble and forgotten in a nursing home the book never gives you a break. But I did finish it so it wasn't all bad. I do tend to like historical fiction and this was a...

People will always find something to stereo-type about. In our family one of the most daming things to comment on is that so and so doesn't read. It puzzles us and makes us feel sorry for them and think there is something missing. So yes, I guess we reverse stereotype non-readers. Lesson...

I had a mixed reaction to this book. I'll withold comment until other have had a chance to read it. I did want to say though, there is no way, no how I would go see this movie. Unless they cut out all the parts that make it "gritty." Which if they did, sort of defeats the purpose of making...

You might want to go with a different breed then a retriever for a doggie book marker. I have one of those. Replace the stuffed duckie below with a book and you get the picture. It's NOT a good idea. Sorry for the re-hijack. I can't resist an excuse to post a pic of my sweetpea.:innocent:

I will be finish The Turn of the Screw while listening to tsunami warning siren's. I don't live in an evacuation zone so we are fine but they are pretty much closing down the island and telling people to stay put unless you are in a danger zone. Good opportunity to stay home, do nothing and...

I guess anything is possible. I'm just having a hard time imagining teen's getting all jacked up on "The People vs. Blankenship - A Murderous Tale of Patent Infringment." But who am I to say.:D

Chiller recently showed a movie called Tokyo Zombie. It was hysterical. It was more spoof than scarey zombie, like Shaun of the Dead. Japanese zombie movie with subtitles. A must see for any self-respecting zombiefile. Definitely stupid but in a good way.

The Shining(Okay, it's not SciFi but why not) I know the economy blows right now but if dad decides to take a caretaker job in a deserted hotel this winter to help end meet, you might want spend some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa in Florida instead. I know they smell funny but trust...
