  1. I don't know if they buy fixed quantities or remainders etc, but they only tend to carry books for a limited time anyway, so I'm not surprised it has gone.
  2. I've just checked, and it doesn't look as though the Bookpeople are carrying this anymore (you can still get a box set of 10 original novels for

  4. Joss Whedon: 'Angel could beat Edward Cullen' Made me smile, anyway!
  5. I quite like Sin City, although I can understand why others may not. I've never walked out of the cinema, even when the film has been dreadful - such as The Avengers or Batman and Robin. Recently, I've not been going to the cinema very much - I tend to buy films when they get to the

    Hi!

    Hullo! (what's YA fiction, btw?!).
  7. Could be worse, could have been Twilight . . .
  8. They are on YouTube as well.
  9. I'm reading that now and can recommend it too! A very well written and researched fiction book, set around the code-breakers at Bletchley Park, is Robert Harris' Enigma. It also paints a pretty vivid picture of what it was like to live in wartime England.
  10. No, he's rubbish, just fluff before the real story starts/continues! A completely unnecessary character, why do you thin he wasn
  11. The Unfinished Tales, is probably what you are thinking of, and there is also the Tales From a Perilous Realm.
  12. Fair enough! I just found it a bit of a let-down after the detail and much broader story of Lord of the Rings (Rivendell was particularly disapointing!). I really must give The Silmarillion a go sometime . . .
  13. Personally, I wouldn't! (after reading Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit is like reading Tolkien Lite). Basically, you are shifting from an adult book to a children's book, that is heavy on singing and fluff. It is interesting to a point - for back story - but don't expect great things as it is aimed at a completely different audience.

    The younger members probably won't get it!

  15. I'll remind you of that when you have a Team Edward T-shirt and matching avatar!

    Not been so good recently then . . .
  18. He played Jeff ("Brrreasts!") in Coupling.
  19. Now it comes out, the literary crack-heads who need their new-book hit and those who are content to live with the puff of second-hand books or the methadone fix of libraries, tis a sad business I tell ye! (I'm down to ten or so new books this year, and a smattering of second-hand titles!).
  20. I think it was a soap powder commercial . . .
  21. Just on the off-chance anyone is interested, a colleague I work with has a number of the early Clarecraft Discworld figures he is looking to get rid of. He's planning to put them on e-bay, but I thought I would mention them here first just in case anyone is interested. The figures he has include the three witches, the Night Watch, and Teppic the Assassin. If anyone is interested, drop me a PM and I'll send you the full list.
