I'm not sure how many listens it takes. Usually I listen straight through once and then a few songs stand out. Then I go back and listen to those songs again, and again, and again. Then I listen to the other songs again.

That doesn't really answer my question though, does it?

Not to beat a dead horse, but in light of what has been going on at other forums, how will it be known whether members are breaking the "no sending links to other forums via pm" rule? Will our private messages be monitored, or will the admin/mods just be made aware if someone reports such a pm...

I participate in three book forums. Actually, I only found my way here after joining first one site, getting an invite on that site to another site, and then finally hearing about BAR from the second site. If I hadn't been invited to multiple forums, I probably wouldn't have found this forum...

I pretty much agree with you, AB.

In some ways it does. If I'm trying to learn about the time period and some things in the book are inaccurate, it takes away from my enjoyment a lot. If I know that the book is inaccurate going into it, though, then I just approach it like any other fiction and it doesn't bother me too much.

Whew! Nice one, CDA. :D

I bought The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir a while back, and while I still haven't gotten around to reading it yet, when I bought it I think many people told me it was a great (and accurate) book.

Maybe if Neil Stephenson and Tad Williams get together they can both figure out how to write an appropriate length ending :p

I haven't read his Otherland series, but the first thing that came to my mind after reading your first sentence I quoted was Williams' Memory, Sorry, and Thorn trilogy. :rolleyes: It's even worse when the phrase isn't even a good one the first time you hear it (like the one you mention).

I don't like it when an author keeps repeating the same phrases over and over throughout the book. Also, when authors give their characters really stupid or ridiculous to pronounce names.

I know :D :p

Move The Sea Wolf to the top of your pile! I love that book :D

Some authors list it on their web pages too.

Yes, I love this one. Dances with Wolves The Piano Disney's Sleeping Beauty

Oh, I thought you did Either way, I think there's a bit of a difference between the books you mentioned and the ones I, and I believe the OP, was referring to. There's also a big difference when considering the general reasons why each are read and what is most often taken away from each. I...

Were you talking to me with the first part?

I disliked it primarily because I dislike Elizabeth Wurtzel. I find her to be self-absorbed (the girl had what, three memoirs before she was how old? Thirty? Thirty five?). I also thought she portrayed depression in an irresponsible way and the field of psychology in an inaccurate manner. Not...

Seems like this is a popular subject among many books/movies geared toward women. The Lifetime channel is filled with crap like this. My boyfriend's mother devours these kinds of books. It's really pathetic. I have a pretty low opinion of these types of books/movies, as well as of the women who...

I have small hands. Youthful, but small :(
