Mmm coffee, if I'm drinking at home I keep it simple, strong, black and sugary. If I'm venturing out I like to try and shake things up and try something new, but I guess I'll often go for a Mocha, which I get mocked for mercilessly by my boyfriend: "What? That's not coffee, it's hot chocolate!"

It pleases me to know I am not the only one who occasionally reaches for the nearest deodorant can/bubble bath/ shampoo to read the labels, I thought it was just me!

I see I am resurrecting an old post here, but has anyone else read this? I'm reading it currently and finding it quite bizzare. I'm just over halfway through. Can anyone tell me whether the 'Analytical Engine' is massively important to the plot line? I've tried reading it a few times and it...

Today I am happy because I got much better grades than I was expecting on my Atwood and Plath essays! :D

I'm in the high-tower, with Mary Fisher and gorgeous man-servant Garcia.

Sorry to revive the irritate thread for the first time in 2009, but I'm irritated by REVISION, and my tutor's refusal to explain the rubric to anyone!!!

Because a lot of my reading at the moment is for uni, I am constantly alternating my attention between different genres. This coming semester it will be modern Gothic fiction, Bronte and Dickens, and a course called 'gender and contemporary fiction' (fay weldon, joan riley, alice munro etc.). I...

Hello Ms. Wilde, how are we today? :)

Welcome to the forum! :)

I'm a short way into this book now - it's good so far. I can't believe that only four chapters in I'm finding I completely despise Bobbo.... can't wait to read more!!

Thanks guys :)

I got this on DVD for Christmas after pester-powering my boyfriend for months on end :) LOVE it.

Today I am SO happy because I got my dissertation bound and handed in. FINISHED. :D
