I'm a little embarrased by this, but I've never actually read a book written by a female author. There, I've said it, and I feel better already.
In my mind there is a real stigma attached to female authors and their chosen genre's. I'm going to regret saying this, but all I associate with female writers is romance fiction.
I know this is a narrow viewpoint (something I'm not known for) but it's the only one I have on the subject, until someone shows me otherwise.
Any takers?
read detective fiction for Agatha Christie, there was that book " what I was" by the british author Meg rossof, I really liked it, you get a nice shock near the end

For both genders I could just keep glancing at my shelves. I also disagree that women are better at the emotions and men are better at crime. My lists here make a nonsense of that theory.
I totaly agree with that, I don't think gender has any thing to do with your type of writing.

I admit it's nice though to FIRST read the book and then compare the world you built from it with the one that the director did when you see the film afterwards.

I saw the film a room with a view but didn't really like it that much, but then when I read the book I felt that the message of the novel is that women should be free to think and act in the way they want not in the way men want them to, which is quite exceptional for a man of that time, but I didn't really see that in the movie and saw it as another love story.

Your sports
in Sport
I tried some things : karate (at school), swimming (only went about a couple of times), kung fu (would love to start again this summer), basketball (quitted recently), I play football with my friends sometimes and we planned to go kick boxing together, also am thinking about swimming too,
does walking to the kitchen a lot count?

I don't think a movie could ever be as good as the book, movies tend to view people in black and white as the tone of voice and face expressions of actors decide wether they are good people or bad people, but in books (of course not all of them) you imagine for yourself the characters depending on what you think of the plot and scenario, also it's a direct contact between you and the writer which is unlike in movies as there are directors, actors and actresses, the cost of production that might limit the creativity etc. etc.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum but am very glad to have found it:D, I'd like my first post to be about E.M. Forster, I read 3 of his novels: "A room with a view" "where angels fear to tread" "Howards end".
I absolutely loved them all, so I was wondering what do you think of his novels???
Ciao!
