Definitely, I always get the same thing, my husband is more adventurous with his meal choices

I enjoyed 'Twilight' but 'New Moon' and 'Eclipse' are loads better I love the book of 'Howl's Moving Castle', its very quirky

I would live in Haruki Murakami's world, there is enough weirdness and cats to keep me happy

Happy choosing Kylie I'm on chapter 3 of 'The Body Finder' by Kimberly Derting, so far, so good

You know my feelings on Twilight (its not for everyone ), I love 'Hot Fuzz' and I saw 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' years ago, I would probably get it more now, I hope it improves for you hen 'Howl's Moving Castle'

We had a Chinese takeaway ^snap Kylie

Hey Mike, welcome to the gang, there is a lot of sci~fi fans here

Thanks Kylie, I checked on wikipedia and the second book is due for release in (wait for it) 2014! but I am hoping that will change And I think I am 'green' because I seem to focus on the green in pictures.

Finally finished 'Shades of Grey' by Jasper Fforde (I think I am a Green ) and I am about to start 'The Body Finder' by Kimberly Derting, which was recommended to me by Kelly (Lexiepiper) ~ thanks hen

Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde ~ Started: 02.02.11 ~ Finished: 12.02.11 Synopsis ~ Hundreds of years in the future, after the Something that Happened, the world is an alarmingly different place. Life is lived according to The Rulebook and social hierarchy is determined by your perception of colour. Eddie Russett is an above average Red who dreams of moving up the ladder by marriage to Constance Oxblood. Until he is sent to the Outer Fringes where he meets Jane – a lowly Grey with an uncontrollable temper and a desire to see him killed. For Eddie, it’s love at first sight. But his infatuation will lead him to discover that all is not as it seems in a world where everything that looks black and white is really shades of grey . . . 'Shades of Grey' is the story of Edward Russett who lives in a future society called 'Chromatacia',created after the collapse of our own future society, which is known as 'The Previous', all life is run by 'The Rules' which were laid down by Munsell, the man who founded 'Chromatacia'. The ability to see colour is of the up most of importance in Chromatacia, which can be limited in most people to different degrees of colour, Red or at most two colours. People who do not have the ability to see colour are known as Greys and are the lowest in the social order, which is known as Colourtocracy. Everyone at the age 20 must complete their Ishihara (the test for colour blindness) to find out what percentage of colour they can see, once the Ishihara completed, the individual is now part of the collective of Chromatacia. Edward Russett is a Red, his parents were Reds and he can see Red but it has not been confirmed how much and is about to take his Ishihara to find out when he sent to East Carmine to complete a chair census, a punishment for playing a practical joke on a prefect's son. Edward and his father Holden, go to East Carmine as Holden is also the holiday relief Swatchman (instead of treating his patients with medication, he treats them with swatches of colour). What begins as a chair census turns into something entirely different when Edward meets Jane, a Grey, with a cute nose and a fierce temper, who is more aware of the world than Edward has ever been, and the more time that Edward spends with Jane and in East Carmine, the more he finds out, everything is not as straightforward as Edward originally thought. What I thought of 'Shades of Grey' ~ I love The Thursday Next series also by Jasper Fforde, it was with some trepidation when I began reading 'Shades of Grey', I was very used to Thursday and her world and I did not know what to expect with 'Shades of Grey'. I am glad to say that I loved Edward's world as much as Thursday’s, 'Shades of Grey' has more of a scientific approach and a very different take on the dystopia genre, which I found refreshing and I think other readers will too. As always, Jasper Fforde's sense of humour runs through the book and there is many laugh out moments, all of the characters are written well and have strong personalities, they have their own quirks and ideas of the world, and Edward's reaction to them goes from bemusement to outright hilarity, which I loved reading. A definite must read for Jasper Fforde fans and for any new fans out there. I am looking forward to Book 2 of the series ~ 'Shades of Grey: Painting by Numbers'. Rating ~ 10/10

Sounds like a plan, a good one!

Pages away from finishing 'Shades of Grey' by Jasper Fforde

Hope you enjoyed it hen

Your fairy is Fidget Goblinfly She brings riches and wealth. She lives in rotting woodlands near poisonous toadstools. She is only seen at midday under a quiet, cloudless sky. She wears red with white spots, like toadstools and has gentle green wings like a butterfly. Yip, that sounds like me

That would be lovely Chrissy, I'm almost finished 'Shades of Grey' and so tempted to re~read the Thursday Next books (apologies if I have said that before )
