    Evolution

    I thought it was hilarious! A parody on so many things. I do like that Duchovny can laugh at himself and his former role on the X-Files (which I LOVE -- don't get me wrong), but it was like "Scary Movie" for playing on some of the B-grade horror movies like "Tremors". :lol:

    What animal are you?

    I pretty much got what I expected: You are either a Crocodile or a Tiger personality (I'm the tiger. Ask anyone... :D )

    A bird as evil as the penguins?

    no, No, NO! I refuse to believe that! :mad: <covers ears> Lalalalalala . . . I can't hear you!

    Looking for a novel I once read....Yeah yeah, hopeless you may say. Help me out here

    There's a similar scene (but ONLY a scene) in the second book of the Laurell K. Hamilton Anita Blake novels. It's called "The Laughing Corpse".

    The Masters of Hard-Boiled Detectives

    Yeah, it sort of depends on the book. Archie was *quite* hard-boiled in the earlier books, like "They Killed Caeser?" (the one about the mistaken identity bulls), and both of them became quite cold in "The Doorbell Rang", the final of the Zeck trilogy. But Archie was a softie for the ladies...

    Cat related stories

    I just read a SUPER short story in (I think) either October's or November's issue of Realms of Fantasy. It was called "The Cardinal's Cats." Paranormal fantasy (sword and sorcerer stuff), but really, really good! Told from the CATS' point of view! I would think you can probably find it on...

    marijuana????

    Uhm, motokid -- again, unless in context with a book or film, it's sort of off limits, which is WHY you haven't found it here. Now, if you want to discuss it in context with something like the 30's movie "Reefer Madness", then feel free... ;)

    First Editions, Printing Help

    :confused: While I haven't seen the copyright page of the book you're looking at, I would expect that the original printing of the book was in 1993, with subsequent editions published in 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997. It would be the 10th printing, with 4 editions (one each year, or they wouldn't...

    Dante Inferno Test

    I only got the third level. I'm a glutton! I admit it and will NEVER repent! Bwahahaha! :rolleyes: (Sillywabbit, you . . . heretic! :eek: :D )

    Which authors' lives have you investigated and why?

    Well, Sylvia Plath WAS quite popular as a UK poet before her mental illness hit the news after her death. Much of her personal demons remained personal because of the way the press dealt with such things in the 50's. It simply wasn't mentioned. There's also a case to be made about post-partem...

    The Masters of Hard-Boiled Detectives

    I like Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe books. While Nero himself wasn't hard-boiled, his assistant Archie Goodwin, certainly was! Lots of action.

    Where do you turn for news?

    I don't think you're going to find any news agency that ISN'T biased, no matter where you go. For myself, I like IWN (International World News) on cable. It's based out of Canada. It's 24 hour coverage, and gets rotating local news from all over the world, so you can go from Canada's "The...

    why did you join the book forum?

    I actually joined as a curiosity to see what others around the world were reading. I tend to get somewhat pigeon-holed into specific genre books that are comfortable, easy reads. But since writing is my full-time career, I don't get a lot of human contact and input as to what books have merit...

    looking for recommendations

    Any of the Clive Cussler books. If you haven't read any of them, my favorite is "Atlantis Found". Another good one is "Trojan Odyssey". They're usually combination action/adventure plus puzzles. Nice escapist reads.

    How often do you read?

    I've been writing too much to read lately. I've got to stop that! :mad: Can't remember the last book I actually finished. :(

    Which authors' lives have you investigated and why?

    After I read "On Writing" by Stephen King, I wanted to find out more about some of the challenges (well, okay -- "vices") he mentioned in the book, so I went reading about him. The only other was more of an "assignment" than a curiosity. I had to study the life of Sylvia Plath and become an...

    Books you've grown out of

    I really enjoyed his 'Incarnations' series (is that the same as the Adept one?) I outgrew Robin Hood. I loved it as a child, but when I picked it up again as an adult, I was annoyed by the lack of characterization and subplots. Pity. Dawning intelligence ruined a perfectly good memory... :(

    I got your thread right here, pal ...

    Continue to live my life. Death IS the gun. No avoiding it, no stopping it. I'd just enjoy the day and ignore it... :)
