Weee, I love this show. So dramatic. But the evil brother is so hot.

What's new in this new model, does anyone know?

Yay ^^ I'll give them a try!

Sam - You sound like me. Except for the marmite Welcome!

I'm so sceptical of teeny-boppy vampire series. You make these sound really good, but how do they compare to, say, House of Night? (which to me was like fingernails grating on the chalkboard of my soul...)

What I love about it the most is how it transports me somewhere. Like I'm lifted out of myself and I get to watch the events of the poem span out from behind a window in the sky. That's how I feel reading poems. Like a silent watcher, an observer of the raw truth of human emotion. I hope I'm making sense at all. I suspect I just sound like a wine-drinking, cheese eating douche.

Lucybird is right, he considered himself a strong-believing Christian and demonstrated severe hatred towards the Islamic community. However, the attack was political. But the political attack was based on the attacked party's friendly immigration laws. So, both are true.

Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy Unrivalled. Seriously, even the film adaption of Dune with the voiceover and the incredible intro had more charm.

Definitely, oceansoul! Still not done. I work every day now, it's hard to find the time. Sad about

thank you everyone It really sucks over here. Every time I turn the news on I just want to vomit, and I'm not the only one. And hugs to you Ben. It gets better, and once it does that feels so great.

Tommyknockers.

I could use some support It's been a pretty shhhhhhh couple of days to be honest. There's so much grief and hurt in everyone right now, it's everywhere. I guess everybody's feeling pretty powerless.

Thanks, peacefield. My family's fine. I haven't heard from everyone yet - I have a few friends I study with who work as EMT's in Oslo that are obviously very busy, but I don't think anyone of them were caught in the crossfire. It's certainly a huge shock to a small country like mine. The incredible sad thing is that the people shot on the island were kids age 15-25 who were participating in a [Norwegian labour] youth camp... and they were attacked and gunned down by a right-wing extremist on a mission. All I can say is, and take this as you wish, thank heavens the killer was ethnically Norwegian. There is a growing tendency of racism and islamic hate in my country, and the amount of prejudice I've overheard the past 24 hours is massive. I know that Norway's islamic youth must be breathing a huge collective sigh of relief right now.

I'm picking up an old kindle from an old friend (tee hee) in August I don't care about old or new. I like that it doesn't have adverts, that's all I really require. How can they upgrade the way the kindle shows the books? It'll still be words on a page.

I can chat! for real this time.

Read "Sir Apropos of Nothing" Bit of humour, but definitely fits your criteria =P

As a student, I would love to buy books for a kindle or whatnot. Not only would the search function be massively helpful, but I just loathe those big volumes of text and how they weigh down my bag and don't leave room for lunch. It would just be so incredibly helpful. Gah. I want it so bad!

InkHeart is Cornelia Funke They're pretty popular in Poland!

Hello hello. I don't know much German literature, but I've read InkHeart! None of the sequels though... Wait, is captain bluebear German?

I've read all the Austen novels, and I've especially read Pride and Prejudice (at least twenty times). I wish I was kidding, but some of you may have realised by now that I am huge on re-reading and I started on Jane Austen at a young age. I read it just the other day, actually. I think it's brilliant. I can't comment on Bronte's works because I haven't read them in full, but I find there to be a lot of passion in P&P. A passion that is sometimes cleverly hidden in formalities and language, but it's present all the same. In fact, I'd say both Elizabeth's and Darcy's incredible passion for life pulsates throughout the entire novel and is what keeps the pages alive. These are people who know their own minds, how they want to live their lives, and they don't bend or shy away from anything to get there. At the same time their character flaws are clearly obvious, causing a series of misunderstandings and misjudgments, which leads to the conflicts that keep the novel interesting. My point is, I guess, that you don't have to type out passionate words to convey passion. It can be done with a remark, a frown, a bow, a turn of the head. I've always appreciated subtlety in writing, instead of finding myself bludgeoned to death with the point the author is trying to make.

Hiya! I've wanted to read Sherlock Holmes for some time now, and I think this thread just inspired me to pick them up to fill the gaps in the summer. Pre- and post-A dance with dragons, I'll need something to keep me occupied

I do everything. Laugh, cry, say the odd angry or happy word. I like to think of it as part of my eccentric nature and what makes me lovable. Hopefully, that's at least partly true.
