Nollaig

I'm a mum, a daughter, another daughter, a dad and a brother, an attorney and some other woman with a gay sister. So far. I may have some more in me.

By the time I get to books, nobody wants to talk about them Well, I'm only 100 pages in, because I got sidetracked. Just had the first narrative from Jesse's perspective, and so far he's my favourite character. So here's a question: who was your favourite narrator, and why?

I've always loved the song. I used to love the tv series too, and Stephen Gately (Boyzone!) sung Bright Eyes for the opening credits of that.

My mum actually gets the same. Her oldest (my brother) is 24, 25 this year, and I've seen people blank completely when she's said that. My mum does look great though, she's a pixie of a thing, with multi-tone red dyed hair and an AMAZINGLY immaculate fashion sense. Not to mention legs that I'D kill for - she gets marked off round 30-35 usually, and she's going to be 49 this July

Now THAT'S trauma Kell The black rabbit scared me as a kid too, but I still loved the movie. I was more creeped out when one rabbit got caught in a snare and started bleeding *everywhere* - it was animated and it was STILL gross!!

Posting this here as well as Book Activity, as it's more relevant here: In Easons, I discovered these elusive Winnie The Pooh bookmarks everyone else finds (and which someone on this forum very sweetly provided me with one of! ) Nevertheless, one can never have too many bookmarks, so I bought one with Pooh and Christopher Robin standing on the bridge (where they play Pooh-Sticks) and it says: "Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known." Now anyone who read about how much I love rain showers, doesn't that just suit me down to the ground?? I'm going starting a collection of them for sure!

Really glad to see you enjoyed this, Janet, the movie has been a firm favourite of mine for years. It is very dark, and even when the rabbits get injured or trapped and so on, it's pretty brutal animation. More of a Don Bluth than a Disney feel. I haven't read the book in so long I don't remember most of it, but I'll definately buy it again and re-read it.

Someone thought you were 13 Sarah??? WOW!! I mean, I get the whole 'are you over 18' thing when I go to pubs and clubs, but 13??? You don't look 13 I'm 22 in November. My friend is only turning 21 in a couple of weeks, and she keeps moaning about getting older. It's quite irritating

I'm definately putting this on my wishlist, sounds great!

I don't think about gender either, and I haven't taken a proper tally but I'd say my books are probably about half and half.

Yeah, I like vampires. Not so into insane deluded women.

Salem's Lot wasn't depressing. Cell wasn't depressing.

I don't want depressing.

I'm pretty sure there's some irony in that...

Stand outside their house with a big picket board sign thing. 'I know wut u did. :censored:'

Misery sounds depressing.

I'd make them buy me a new copy.

Well, I didn't cry at all. But then, I wasn't interested in the romance aspect, I was interested in the Philosophy. If you cry at romancey things or sad things, then yes, tissues might be good. Otherwise you should be okay.

Give me exact titles. Rawr says: "The Shining!" Yeah, other than that.

It's not sad til near the end. Maybe the last 150 pages.

I've never had fish and chips. Am I weird?

I'm glad you enjoyed it Janet! I was a kid the last time I read it, and I've forgotten most of it! I must read it again sometime

I dont' actually remember the first.... hmm. Point Horror books. Catchman. THAT was scary when I was a kid. Superb book though. As an adult.... probably actually 'Haunted', earlier this year. Fantasy: just about everything I read as a kid. LOTR, probably, as a teenager. Sci-fi: REAL hardcore science fiction I've never read, but I did read one story from Dan Simmon's Hyperion, and intend to work through it, so that will be the first.

I can't take not having my A.S.A.P books coming to me. I'm going ordering some secondhand on Amazon tomorrow
