Nothing, it's really nonoes buisiness what I read. People often get touchy about certain books, but their closed mind is not my problem. For example I have recantly read "The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey, it's a briliant book, the fact that some people might think it bad, probably many people on here as well, I really don't care.

House M.D.

Yes, I had the...fortune of being introduced to prospero...

Umm...I'll not dispute you here, it would be a shame to crush your hopes.

They're not all bad, but finding somebody who's attractive, popular and intelligent is quite a feat, we are a rare breed.

You clearly didn't meet many of todays youth, prospero... "This guy was like totally checking me out, and I was like no way guy, I'm like totally out of your league and then this other guy and then like if I laugh to hard my head will fell off..." No, I am not exaggerating, this is how they talk, only imagine grammar that has a z after every word, I don't know wth is that about.

First, it's a book about ponies. Second, what kind of an idiot would take advice from a professional model who writes books about ponies?I work with these people, trust me, models are not someone who is in any position to give others advice. Third, does anyone even own a pony? Fourth, it's a book about ponies!

This happens quite a lot, some books would have been much better left alone, the original is generaly better then the sequels.

There's a movie now?Go figure... And Jeremy Irons is in it and there's NO sex in it?Is that even possible?I thought he won't even look at the script if there isn't at list one sex scene in it... Is it even funny?

No worries, you're not the first nor the last.

Oh.*looks at the brain he's holding over a boiling pot* I was just...cleaning it for you...yes, that's right, look how shiny it is now! Wrong with Croatia are the people. No, sorry, it's my inner sanctum, as such I hold it dear and quite high on the privacy list. You'll love it, just don't close your eyes, you'll miss all the fun, and also you'll get noxious (hehe, a pun.). Why do people insist on calling me Gabrielle?I am not female nor French. Thank you for the welcome everyone.

Thank you, I do know when you're sarcastic, it's the rest you should point it out to. It involved me, I suppose it also involved how I treated other people, but that's as far as people involvment goes.

I was talking more about the overall sense, but touche. To me a hero has always been someone who proves himself/herself in combat. Basically as the old saying goes, the definition of a hero is someone who gets others killed.

I understand what you mean, but choices affect many people and they don't affect everyone equally, so what to you may be a bad choice, to others it would be the "right thing to do". So who decides who the hero is?

You can dodge an arrow, you need skill to wield a sword. When guns ware created all that became obsolete, now anyone can point a gun and shoot, and if someone tries to be the hero they'll be the one on the receiving end. It used to take effort to be evil and to be good, but people have forgotten all the rules of engagement, now whenever I enter a fight someone pulls a gun on me and becomes the "big tough guy", no skill, no knowledge, no experience, no honor. Sorry if that's vague, it's 3 in the morning and I am quite tired, I could make more sense some other time.

No, never. I don't need books or anything else to tell me who I am, I changed thrue my actions and expiriances, life changes me, not people.

For one, the book has to be either fantasy/sci-fi or pre-gunpowder era. I don't like books that happen in the "now", I live in the now, why would I want to read it? I like books that are out for entertainment not life philosophy or any other kind, I don't need others to tell me what or how to think. Pre-gunpowder because I believe the heroes died the day gunpowder was created. The book must be diverse, as in many elements such as a love plot, a save the world plot etc. , it must have character debt and flawed characters, engaging story, doesn't have to be original, well written as in good amount of every element... Must have a substantial amount of good humor. Vivid worlds and a lot of travel, they can't just be sticking in one place. The story must not focus on a single character and ignore the others, read the Mediator and you'll know what I mean by single character focus. I could go on and on, I have very specific tastes...

That's generaly because we all have favorite books writen in our profile, but this is good to. Mine would be The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud, if I had to pick just one of those I would go with the last one "Ptolemy's Gate".

That's briliant! I can't wait for Michael Jackson's Child care books, Paris Hiltons "This many fingers" advanced math guidebook and Britney Spreas' "How to make right decisions with a bald head".

I have chickens at home so when I need eggs I always have a fresh batch. As for the Easter Dinner, I don't eat dinner.

In a vault.Guarded by large bald guys with sharp pointy sticks.An electric fence which could bake a chicken in under 5 seconds and a lake full of crocodiles with lasers attached to their heads.I also had a sign saying "Please do not steal" but it got stolen. Seriously now, I have a home library, the big kind, I keep them there.

Tarry Pratchett Jonathan Strout Kim Harrison Douglas Adams Garth Nix and J.K.Rowling.

Likwise, it's a shame the author only writes these books so he could finance his band, I would love to see the fruits of his pen if he focused more on the books.

I suggest The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud, it is however quite different then your run of the mill YA books, for one, the protagonist of the story is not all that nice, the second protagonist is even worse then that, you won't find your typical hero "out to save the world" and such, safe to say the hero has many flaws which makes him human.Also the books ware written differently, chapters are divided by characters rather then stories, which makes it quite interesting because you get to see the same turn of events from a very different perspective.

Thank you all for a warm welcome and for all the fish.
