I'm 23. Spider-Man is the coolest Comic on the planet. Particularly the Clone saga. (Ben Reilly is the coolest!) The best story lines are the ones that people have to actually 'read'. I hate team ups. DULL Check out www.comicboards.com

'I approached the door with my back to the wall. Sweat running over my spine. It had never been like this before. It used to go like clockwork. In the Regiment we were taught to go on instinct. But in the time since I'd gained enough to worry about losing what life I had left. I flicked the...

Lol Prolixic. Yeah I love the Readers Digest books, you can picture them sat around the conference table. -Hey this books great, absolutely brilliant. -Yeah, well can we publish it. -Er... No. Another publisher got there first. -Damn, any ideas? -I know what we can do, chop all the parts...

I did have a beautiful bookmark but since losing it I tend to turn the corners of the pages. On most modern paperbacks this has little effect. I tend to keep my books crammed into a bookshelf so they are compressed back into shape. On hardcovers I never turn back the pages, nor on the better...

I keep all my books and I don't seem to be able to part with even the crap ones.

I grew up on a diet of the Railway Series (Thomas) and the Enid Blyton. Those books made me twee kid, always looking for adventure like the Famous Five. As adults we tend to be harsh on the archiac parts of these books. I myself would never give my child less. So they are racially unmodern...

Whooo Hoo! I really hope you like.

I agree the movie did sales for the book great harm. I would love to direct Depp in a PROPER movie of the book. This time the actresses would at least resemble the characters in the book. The Fencing Master and the Nautical Chart are both very similar plots. I prefer the earlier work. The...

Well in my opinion his work on the Dumas Club made him one of the worlds premiere writers. I'd definitely recommend any of his books, but for a newbie I'd suggest The Dumas Club, followed up by The Fencing Master, The Flanders Panel and then The Seville Communion, lastly The Nautical Chart...

Terry Pratchett for comedy and amusement. Only the 'City Guard' books in the series are worth reading, try Guards Guards first. If you want a serious book though and Pratchetts ironic vision isn't for you, how about American Gods by Neil Gaiman? This is a fantasy novel set in our world. With...

It takes me about 3 or 4 days to read to read a 320 page book. This is because I have difficulty concentrating. Seriously though I am beginning to lose faith that I will ever find another writer to measure up to the ones I've already read. My favourite authors are Arturo Perez Reverte, Patrick...

I too am a man who has tried to read War and Peace. With little success it turns out. The writing is mangificent but there are too many characters. I think I will try Anna Karenina or The Brothers Karamazarov instead. Y'know the best writer I know of is Patrick O'Brian. Please try his book...

What about The Silmarrilion. What a load of tedious bilge, written in a complicated way but with no plot.

Well... When I was going through a tough time, the best book for me was 'Bringing Out The Dead' by Joe Connelly. It is grim but it made me feel like I wasn't alone in hating my job and being afraid all the time. Plus I felt no one but my wife really understood just how burnt out I felt. After...
