  1. I too loved the book The Neverending Story, and as a result hated the film! Totally agree they shredded it. If you liked that you might like The Book of Lost Things by John Connelly - I've raved about it on a few posts! A young boy finds himself in a world where fairy tales are real, though rather darker than the tales we grew up with.....
  2. How could I forget Captain John???? That was so cool - I got very silly and girly during his first episode. Just seen that he's going to be in Caprica, the BSG spinoff/prequel....

  3. What really evil being can she be???? Hey - just remembered what happened in the finale - you don't think that was her coming, do you???
  4. Yeah I was glad went Kate stopped appearing - she was so annoying! Am I odd for liking Fred when she turned blue? I thought Angel was just getting really good when it got cancelled - the muppet episode anyone?
  5. Great read - Jasper Fforde is always good fun, though I think I preferred the adventures of Miss Next. Still, looking forward to Jack's next outing as I'm sure these characters will develop further.
  6. Hi there - love your avatar. Kate rules

  7. in no particular order.... Pride & Prejudice His Dark Materials (is that cheating?) Crime & Punishment The Book of Lost Things Notes from an Exhibition
  8. Yup - love Spike, though would be nice to see Mr Marsters in something again (practically cameos in Without a Trace & Smallville!)

    And Labyrinth - I'm such a big kid!

    Having a good weekend? I saw U2 at Wembley last night and still recovering!!!

  9. All very exciting but have to admit I'm gutted there's no Bank Holiday episode to look forward to this month!
  10. Just wanted to say love the avatar!

  11. I did enjoy it - probably beacuse I'd already seen the film (pretty!)- but there were lines in there like (badly remembered) "we're just 3 for dinner, so dinner jackets are enough tonight", which just struck me as hilarious
  12. Yes - Frost's Stopping by woods... "but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep" oooh gives me goosebumps! Also have a weakness for Yeats, He wishes for the cloths of heaven, sigh
  13. Beautifully written, and so funny about the social niceties - anyone read Maurice?
  14. Has anyone mentioned The Wasp Factory? A friend lent me all of Ian Banks' books but insisted I start with TWF, and I nearly gave up on him! (I did enjoy the other books when I got to them) The description of the child in the hospital..... Also, I've mentioned this one on another thread - The Pilo Family Circus. Scary clowns.... and one is in love with a plant..
  15. I really liked the switching of voice between characters/chapters. Have to confess I did find the doctor's opening chapter a little hard going (just a wee bit self important?) It's been a while since I read it but I do remember being very moved by the parts concerning the "giant" (was that Francesco or Carlo?) Forgive me for not reading again, I remember tears...
  16. Ooh I've just gone all giggly! I fell for Darcy when I read the book and then the beeb finished me off! Alas don't get a chance to see any of the more recent costumers as hubby's just not interested - so sad 'cos I hear Larkrise is great (as a completist I just can't jump in - from the first episode or not at all!)
  17. So when do you think we'll see the inevitable sequel with its' new (almost new, Jake will still be in there) love triangle?
  18. Definately worth trying - I remember my boyfriend reading over my shoulder just as I got to one of the "love" scenes in Bitten and being rather, shall we say, intrigued!
  19. I loved the first 3 books, particularly Lestat although there were inconsistencies with Interview ( who was the old man Lestat claimed was his father?) I also read the Mayfair witch books but then went off Rice when she just seemed to be a little too in love with her own writing.... Still have unread copies of Armand and The Mummy! Maybe a return is due?
  20. Me too! I loved that when I was little, and The Book of Brownies also Blyton. Hmmm horror .... I think it was called Inside my Feet and it was a school library book when I was about 8 or 9, and I remember my teacher saying it would give her nightmares.... All about a little boy who's family is carried off by a giant pair of boots - well it was pretty scary back then!
  21. Hi there! Wow your English is definately better than my Polish:smile2:
  22. Hi there! What are you reading?
