The man who fell to earth
-
I fall more for characters than stories. Maybe thats what drives my really weird taste in books. I'll read anything if I can find some kind of a connection with the character.
I have read the whole series and the other books by her, including the teen ones so now waiting for the 3rd Nadia Sittaford and the third Chloe one and only just resisted buying the hardback new Werewolf one yesterday becauseIi limited myself to 4 new books (already read 2 of them..boo hoo) i need to save at least 2 for my holidays on Wednesday. Glad you are enjoying the series. Have you seen the Rachel Vincent series which are about a pride of big cats also very good. i just got the latest..

The japanese are the masters of horror, the opening scene in battle Royal with the girl clutching her teddy bear..great film though

Hot chocolate and chocolate covered malted milks i am having a chocolate themed night

Casualty.....should be CSI NY but saw the trailer and Charlie ends up in hospital
Trust me you are not missing much
-
We would be rivals for the same ones..hmmm you can but dream. You ever get the impression the author takes it all a little to seriously though?
-
That was brilliant, loved it..thanks for that laughed outloud

Saturday TV is officially the worst night of the week!
True I have CSI NY on now as wall paper in background
-
I have been on that thought it was a bit cheesy really, wish they were real though if you had to chose which of the brothers?
-
I have read The God of Small Things and it was a very interesting book, there were some beautiful passages and it painted some beautiful pictures in my head, but at the en the day i am not sure i can tell you what it was about and i probably wouldn't re-read it.

I guess the problem is whether you consider them to be horror films of horrible films aren't they in a sub class called slasher movies..really can't watch the gruesome kind of film torture really makes me feel sick.
-
I don't really watch scary movies because I find them to scary
but the film which springs to mind is 'Event Horizon' I watched it on my own in a strange B&B -
The crane wife - Decembrists
-
Winter Olympics..ski Jumping you gotta admire those guys I have seen the jumps in Garmisch and they are scary
-
A-ha the sun always shines, I had such a crush on Morten (however you spell his name) as a teenager

You might be interested in 'The Molecule hunt how archaeologists are bringing the past back to life' by Martin Jones though not strictly speaking dinosaurs its a fascinating study of how dna and other stuff ( sorry very non scientific) can aid in determining the past a step away from the usual artefacts recovered on archaeological sites...anyway this is not a very good description but have a look its not a bad book.

Bellowhead - Fakenham fair..folk rocks:mrgreen:

i love to try new authors just like nollaig recommended bill hussey to me and i think the great beauty of a bookforum is that you can really expand your reading list. In general i read crime mixed in with horror. My present book is the lovers by john connolly which is crime but gothic in nature...the best of both worlds really!
The Lovers is excellent massive fan of this series and John Connolly, couldn't wait for it to come out in paperbacck so bought it last year in hardback copy. Have you read 'the Gates' yet..if not it was very different but very good

something with chocolate..there appeared to be a definit chocolate theme in my shopping trolley this afternoon..the perils of shopping with a hangover

Female of the species - space

Well I went and bought 4 books today and took 4 out of the libarary as well.
I bought
Lovely Bones because so many people on here seem to think it's good
Grave Secret because i have read all the others
Prey: Rachel Vincent; for all those of you who have not come across her and like the paranormal werewolf stuff do recommend it very like Kelley Armstrong stuff on werewolves but its about a Pride of cats instead.
the 4th pure indulgence Historical romance Amanda Quick Affair.
-
afraid I more or less gave up non-fiction when i finished studying although I have since then read one or two very good archaeology books which I wish had ben around when i was studying.
I don't know how I chose the 4 books I have come back from town with today, probably because i know all the authors bar one and just fancied the 4th because I have read good things about it on here.
-
If you haven't seen Farscape watch it, it was brilliant was glued to the TV throughout although I love Angel too
-
