There's a film adaptation to that isn't there? I haven't read the book, but thought that the film was very good - probably appeal more to females, though.

Hi Guys, I keep trying to upload a different picture for my avatar on here, but it keeps saying that my image is too big. I've tried croping the image and stuff, but I don't really know what I'm doing! Any suggestions? Also, how do I check how many pixels a certain image is, before attempting...

I'm surprised that people have put Cathcher in the Rye in their top three books. I read that about a year ago, and just kept waiting for something interesting to happen - I realise that it's pretty symbolic, but even so, I found it quite dull. My favourite 3 books are: 1. Enduring Love -...

Ahhh, I've just seen the book of the month section of this messageboard. Sorry!
