I'm in 1940s America, standing in the dark beside a train destined for New York while the engineers try to figure out how we can get moving again.

Just picked this book up in work and am a few chapters in. I was reading a bit about the author online and came across a site that outlines how some papers were discovered in Sierra Leone which would shed suspicion and doubt on the factual timeline in the book. Beah may have been a child solider...

The last number of posts are a good indicator of why I don't spend much time here. Too many pointless posts and petty disagreements.

He's retired but I don't know what he does now. His daughter runs the place now I believe.

Yeah, I've been a member for a few years now. I generally read the forums looking for tips on what to read next. See which books are recommended and which I can put off reading for now. If I've read a book and I see an interesting discussion on it I'll add my thrippance worth. That rarely...

I'm just back from Paris and wanted to buy a book that relates to the city to remind me of my trip. I picked up A Moveable Feast by Hemingway in the famous Shakespeare and Co bookshop. I started reading it that night in my hotel room. In the first chapter he mentions having to pay his rent at 74...

All that is explained in the introduction. So I am aware of this. I think it would be nice to read this and then the "real one". An interesting comparison.

I've just managed to get my mitts on a free copy of War and Peace, The Original Version. I had been keeping this book for when I got stuck on a desert island but since I now own a copy I have no excuse. :D The only comparable text I have read so far is Crime and Punishment. I didn't find it...

I read it on the train a couple of weeks back. It is very interesting but there are so many other philosophical books out there that are much more satisfying.

Lol, no probs. :)

The Walking Dead should be on there.

I'm still working for the national radio station. I copytake for all of the shows and work in studio on a few of them now and again.

I had just finished reading Cornelia Funke's Inkheart and I really liked the character of the same name.

I've heard good things about it and I quite liked the opening chapter which I read in a bookshop.

It could be Thus Spoke Zarathustra but I have a feeling it is more likely to be The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prophet_(book) http://www.amazon.com/Prophet-Kahlil-Gibran/dp/0394404289

I have alot more books but this is the only one on my computer at the moment.

I think Intensity was the first one I read and it was actually scary. I've read a number of his other titles since and most of them are just so-so. Certainly not scary. I'm currently reading Life Expectancy and the similies and analogies are really grating at this stage. *flicks through...

I love Alecia Moore's (P!nk's) voice. The emotion in her voice is wonderful. I love her version of Me and Bobby McGee which she sings live.
