That's basically what I was trying to say. ;) It's the kind of book that I thought I'd really like, but I guess I prefer something that is more "straightforward". :o

Happy birthday! :D

I bought this book, due to the "layout" (ie. footnotes, back-to-front writing etc), but I put it down about halfway through because it started to irritate me. :o Footnotes that go on for several pages, and go off in a different direction - then when you go back to reading the actual text, you...

Happy Birthday - hope you had a great day!

Happy Birthday - enjoy your day! :D

Still don't get it. :( So would 2,616 become BFAF? :confused: But then what about the zeros in the other numbers? What letters do they represent? :confused: I've tried Roman Numerals as well, but I'm probably getting those all wrong. :rolleyes: :p

I started reading Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton, a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I haven't read too much science fiction (mainly Philip K. Dick, and his novels are much, much shorter), although it's a genre that I've been meaning to get into for a while. Haven't read...

Hi there, and welcome!

Hello and welcome!

I've been thinking about this on and off all day (instead of working :p ), and I still can't work it out. I was actually getting quite frustrated!! Ice, do you have the answer to it?

Hi there and welcome!

Hello and welcome!

^Ashlea, have you read his Dark Tower series? If you enjoyed The Eye of the Dragon, you may enjoy that. :)

Watership Down is the first one (and only one) that sprung to mind. What about Richard Adams' other books? Didn't he write a few in the similar vein of Watership Down? I haven't tried them, so I can't really recommend them.

Lol - same here! :D

I've had the same resolution (not New Years) for ages - and I've already broken it twice this week. :p I bought Magician (Raymond E Fiest) a few days ago, and today I bought Pandora's Star (Peter F. Hamilton). :D

Occasionally, but it's only ever a fiction book with a non-fiction. Never two fiction books together. I think I would get confused.

I've put quite a few down - but I always plan to pick them up later. :D I've stopped reading Black House, House of Leaves, and Lord of the Rings.... :rolleyes: I guess I just wasn't in the mood to read them at that time.
