ooh that sounds nice Mac

It is a good one, it's not all about hype (like Twilight...)

Just realised I gave Q&A a score out of 10 when I've given the others out of 5! (For some reason I find higher scores easy to do out of 10, and low scores out of 5) so out of 5 I give Q&A 4/5

I almost picked up this one the other day I think, is it quite short and has a line from Eleanor Rigby on the front? Maybe I should go back and get it next time I'm near a book shop, I can remember it wasn't expensive

Generally yes, but not when you're eating it in a little tub with one of those tiny scoop/spoon things, makes it a bit difficult not to drop ice cream everywhere They used to have the coffee one in big tubs, now you can only get it at the stalls which is expensive. It was so nice too!

lol yeah I would probably end up eating it too

Went to the Ben and Jerry's stall again Friday (whoops!) and got vanilla toffee crunch this time. It was more like vanilla toffee slab! Did you know Ben and Jerry's do lipbalm? How awesome is that?

I saw you around a bit. to the forum

Chicken soup is another one, lovely when you have a sore throat

Q&A by Vikas Swarup This review contains minor spoilers for the film Slumdog Millionaire Synopsis (from Amazon) Former tiffinboy Ram Mohammad Thomas has just got twelve questions correct on a TV quiz-show to win a cool one billion rupees. But he is brutally slung in prison on suspicion of cheating. Because how can a kid from the slums know who Shakespeare was, unless he is pulling a fast one. In the order of the questions on the show, Ram tells us which amazing adventures in his street-kid life gave him the answers. From orphanages to brothels, gangsters to beggar-masters, and into the homes of Bollywood's rich and famous, Ram's story is brimming with the chaotic comedy, heart-stopping tragedy and tear-inducing joyousness of modern India. Review I'd seen the film of this before reading the book. I was a little concerned because I tend not to enjoy books when I've seen the film first (and vis versa), it didn't matter with this one though because they were quite a bit different, pretty much only the basis premise were the same. None of the stories were the same (although one was almost the same) but there were some similarities. in a way I thought the film was better in this way as it meant all the little stories were linked together. In the book you could well have read each story as a seperate story. This made it a bit easier to put down than other books, which is both a good thing and a bad thing! It made it easier to stop if I needed to, but it also meant I was less compelled to pick the book up again when I had finished a chapeter. this I thought the book did better, in the film it was just a comedy story, in the book it was a little amusing but it had more substance too. I did find one of the stories in the book kind of boring, and found I read slower at this point. and I found it dragged a bit. In fact I did find myself generally getting more bored towards the end, I think this may have been because everything was like a little story and I like to vary my reading a bit, it kind of felt like I was reading lots of the same stories all after the other. But by the end I had warmed up to it a bit more. This was a lovely book which, despite its imperfections, I wouold recommend. There is a bit of everything in this story, and it really paints a picture of life in quite a believeable way. I did find all the coincidences a bit unbelieveable though. I would probably say I prefered the film, just because it flowed a little better, but it's a close thing, and really it is difficult to compare them as they are very different. 8/10 I'm now reading A Partisan's Daughter by Louis de Bernieres

I guess it is good in a way, I just think there might have been a better way to give us that information

I'd say go for Jodi Picoult- Change of Heart. It's one of my favourites by her, pretty much on par with My Sister's Keeper

I'm not the sort of man who goes to prostitutes A Partisan's Daughter- Louis de Bernieres

yes there is, at the bottom of your post is a button for editting

ooh that would be so nice. I would love my own library.

oh I hate not having enough room for books, all our shelves are are bursting!

Oh yes I remember being moved by the giant's parts too (I think it was Carlo, it's been a while since I last read it)

ooh they sound tasty!

I don't like the Harry Potter films either, because I'm a Harry Potter nut, but I still go to see them, I guess I want to see how they make each book into a film

why would you tell people that?!

I like ginger ice-cream, I used to occasionally order it from the noodle bar at uni when I was still there

honey? I usually have fair trade with one sugar, and a little milk- I like it strong. But my favourite is Twinnings Everyday

oh, I didn't mean it to sound that way. That's the problem with 'talking' through typing

sorry? What for?

I kinda guessed that, it would be a very short story if that was it
