I also agree. Both main characters are going out in real life, but they have the sexual chemistry of two wooden planks!

I'm 31 in just over a month, although I feel about 21!

Thanks to both of you for the welcome! So far, everyone on the forum has been very nice.

I have read 'Life of Pi' and 'The Lovely Bones'. Whilst enjoyed reading these books, I was a little disappointed with 'The Lovely Bones'. I didn't think it was as life changing as people were making it out to be at the time of its release. I also don't think that they could be considered some of the greatest books of the last decade. 'Atonement' and 'Never Let Me Go' are going on my 'To be Read' list!

I have voted one book. I find it impossible to read several books at once, because I find that I can't absorb myself in the story and characters fully, if I'm flitting between totally different books.

It's a sort of sci-fi action movie with a bit of romance thrown in. It has a 1984/Bonnie and Clyde vibe to it which I found interesting. The concept is great, but I don't think the director fulfilled its potential. You can find a synopsis here : In Time

My first language is English and I'm quite fluent in Spanish. I also know random words in French and German, although I wouldn't be able to put them to much use!

Hi thanks for thr welcome! I have been trying to find a forum to talk with others about books for a long time. I'm looking forward to finding my way around the forums.

Thanks everyone for the welcome!

I watched 'In Time' at the cinema last night. I liked the concept of the film and thought it was entertaining, however I do think that the film lacked something. I think towards the end, it became a conventional action movie and spoilt any orginality the film promised. It was a good film, but I think that it had the potential to be a great film.

Hi I've just found and joined this site! I'm 30 (almost 31) originally from the U.K and now living in Spain. I'm an avid reader and will read pretty much anything, although my favourite authors are Kate Atkinson, Ken Follett and Philippa Gregory. When I'm not reading, I'm either blogging about the books I read, or trying to write my first novel although my progress is really slow! I'm looking forward to participating in discussions on this board.
