Paula Cole. Great song.

I actually love my copies of WH, they have no Heathcliffs though. One has a pretty green valley and I think Hareton working, another has moors in dark brown tones and a female figure (cathy) hurrying along, and the last has blue and green toned moors. Wait, this is a Twilight thread. Um. Oh I know - I wonder has Smeyer actually read all these Bronte and Austen books? Well, she's probably read Austen as she's like all chick-lit-y, but Bronte? Slightly heavier stuff.

I'm a total hypocrite though, I think the cover is actually gorgeous Just not on WUTHERING HEIGHTS! W.H. should have bleak windy moors or a big tree on barren rock or a formidable looking house or shadowy depressing people or something!

It is! Anyone who goes out and reads a book because a fictional character likes it, is like, obsessed or something, and THAT'S what they're appealing to. I mean, half of them probably wouldn't even read Wuthering Heights ANYWAY once they realised what it's like.

That Wuthering Heights cover is a disgrace. I mean, it's sad enough that anyone thought it up, but what's even sadder is the belief that there are enough fangirls out there who will buy a book just because a fictional character likes it, to warrant marketing this. Again I say, the world is doomed.

His song, 'Chariot' is amazing. 'I Don't Wanna Be' is good too though.

Wow, I've never seen an action figure that ACTUALLY looks broody.

Whatever my parents have for me when I get to Kerry!

Scrubs - 'I'm No Superman', the full song is epic. Tru Calling, I don't actually know the full song but tis good.

Wow. Why didn't I make a thread about these books? I will soon.

Given the way my wishlist and tbr have expanded since I joined this place, I'd feel like I was really missing out if I didn't note down the name of any title I liked the sound of - I'll still get back to it if or whenever I feel like it, so I'm not limiting myself, but I don't see the point in ignoring a list of titles I'm interested in just so I'm open to anything.

It's gorgeous, there's geese everywhere, they way outnumber the people so when theres baby geese around you need to take care how close you get

I'm sure I've seen that photo before, you know thread is for photos we take ourselves?

If it is, it cost you less than

Man, I've talked about these books before and no one listened to me!!! I hope you all like it now, I usually hate recommending books in case people hate them

Muahaha I hope you enjoy it when you get it!

To each their own! I can understand why it'd be a tough read, it's a niche-y kinda book I think.

I loved The Historian!

I need to read Dracula, I've had it for a while now but while my mojo is being picky, I don't know would I be able to finish it. I need lighter reading - I have a couple of books I might go back and finish.

Well, it's obviously a fantasy religion, set on Erna where our decendants ended up stranded. But the morality is still there - who Gerald Tarrant IS is very interesting. The religions are mostly based around the use of the Fae, the energy that manifests according to cerebral activity in it (mostly subconscious thoughts). The fae prevents use of any technology, so it's either use the fae to your advantage, or tip toe round it. The 'one true god' scenario tip-toes, and the 'pagan' style smaller groups use it like druids. The main travelling party is made up of a representative of the church, a pagan-esque girl, and the vampire who shares the priest's views but is by his very being an adversary. Would you like it.... there's no real romance, so no adult content of that nature, but the author seems to describe everything as 'sexual'. Other than that, there's nothing really icky or disturbing I don't think... fears becoming real because of the planet's energy... learning about various evolutions of a species.... big bad in the end... nothing that jumps out at me. Here's a segment of my review of the first book: 'There are 3 things to take into account if you decide to read this book. Black Sun Rising plays out in first and foremost an epic adventure format. Think Tolkien, on a lesser scale/without the detail. Secondly, the book is intrinsically a combination of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, unless you like BOTH genres, this is not the book for you. While this book suited me down to the ground, I can understand why 99% of its reviews are less than praising. Thirdly, the book is most UNLIKE Tolkien-esque adventures insofar as the events in the book are secondary to the Philosophy behind them. Where LOTR was very much ‘good guys adventure and kill bad guys’, Black Sun Rising is about the gray area between good and evil. Notably, the gray area is portrayed by the most wonderfully sensitive comradary between two natural enemies. In a nutshell, if you like A) Dark Fantasy AND Sci-Fi, Philosophy and C) sword fighting adventure which is secondary to concept – then this is the book for you. It will appeal to a niche market but if you are in that market I promise you it is an infinitely rewarding read.'

Star Trek Generations is one of my favourite Christmas movies. I'm not sure WHY it's a Christmas movie, since the only obvious Christmassy bit is when Picard is in the Nexus, but either way, it's become a tradition to watch it with my family at Christmas.

That's terrible I've also read Wuthering Heights a few times, because I studied it in both high school and uni, but I know it so well at this stage I usually pick sections and read those instead
