LOL set up an exchange program on here so everyone can swap and get their favourites There's no need to do that, everyone is sending me Jake things, I'm starting to look like a fangirl! Though that's going to be cemented when I get my shirtless Jake figure :rolll:

I was thinking more about the keyring. Actually I'd probably give an Edward one to my friend Katie, she likes both guys coz she's as shallow as a puddle in a desert and doesn't even care who, what or why they are. She bought a grey coat the other day for her BF on the grounds it looked like Edward's. I died a little inside. Then I suggested that if she wanted to make him look like Jacob (shirtless), she'd be doing well.

I wouldn't do that to Edward even though I don't like him.

Play.com never delivers to Ireland

The Good Girl.

It's because of an unrecognized punctuation character or set thereof - happens sometimes. Destination format doesn't recognize the source one and puts question marks in the relevant places.

Nothing to eat, drinking a glass of milk.

It's okay, I have a tendancy to read things no one else does, or NOT read what everyone else is reading so nobody really pays attention to my list anyway. May as well talk about Father Ted for all it's worth

I know!!! I misread something Ned said by only glancing at it, I simultaneously read it as 'the guy who counts' and 'the Count who counts' and the two meanings just clicked!

I learned that the Count in Sesame Street is called the Count because he counts numbers. I never realised that before today. Seriously. I never made the association.

Abby, you need a Galaxy Ripple. I'll post you one.

Dove is a soap here. I think that might fry my brain a tad

Hershey's is disgusting. In my 15 days across 4 cities in America and Mexico, I didn't find ANY edible chocolate. The poor Americans have NO idea what they're missing. I actually posted some Galaxy chocolate to a guy I know in New York and he kept asking for more. Course, I don't like bitter, sour, nutty or chewy chocolate. I like sugar rushes. That might explain it.

I finished When True Night Falls today, the second in the Coldfire Trilogy, review pending. They're hard books to review because they're SO complex that attempting to capture their essence is difficult. Anyway, I didn't like the start as much as the first one, but overall in terms of characters and character development (particularly with Gerald Tarrant and Damien Vryce) it was more enjoyable because the progress is much clearer. As per the first one, it ended on a kind of cliff hanger, and a kind of happy-for-now ending, but with omens of the absolute chaos to come. Bring it on

Read the last 200 or so pages of When True Night Falls - BRILLIANT book! Can't wait to get onto the third now - this is already one of my all time favourites series. I have heard the ending is a bit at odds with the rest of the story, so I'm a little worried, but we'll see!

I think reading any classic makes a person look literarily (?) cool. A lot of young adults read YA, a lot of people read new releases or well known modern fiction. But seeing someone sitting down with a battered, clearly re-read copy of some Dickens or Hemmingway or something - makes them look like they're really into their LITERATURE, as opposed to reading. Which I think makes them look cool.

The anime is superb, much better than any other variation, and the live action movies are okay but not amazing. Glad you're enjoying it though, Death Note is one of my favourite stories.

I've read about 160 pages of When True Night Falls today, which is less than I would like. Hoping to get another 20 or so before sleep, so I can finish it tomorrow.

I just had NO idea they'd be your sort of thing! It's awesome, so it's a shame you don't feel they're worth keeping, but since I wouldn't have recommended them in the first place (due to not knowing you liked them), it's probably not the most obvious genre you like, so there's not so much harm in getting rid of them. Did that make more sense? I'm not a massive fan of either, but they're both authors I'd read, yeah.

I'm delighted you enjoyed it Frankie - it really is one of those books that would have you peering outside your window, just in case.... I had no idea who was behind it. I don't usually read thrillers and my whodunnit skills are terribly lacking for someone who grew up playing Cluedo. I agree with everything else you said too - not perfect characters, but perfection was unnecessary in light of the actual storytelling. I want to read it again now! I'd say there's a lot to be gotten from reading it while KNOWING who did what and why.

I'm eating a couple slices of bread and turkey. It's all I have, unfortunately. Looking forward to dinner though.

I love Honey Nut Cheerios, I get random cravings for them!

If you don't think you'll read them dump them. I think it's a shame to see Asimov and Huxley getting dumped, but since I was surprised they were actually on the pile, it makes sense that you'd want to get rid of them.

Looking cool..... well I know what I WOULDN'T read and that's Twilight. As for what I would.... A Clockwork Orange, maybe?

I'm really glad you did
