charmer

I can never relate to any of Stephen Kings characters and sometimes the point of the story line .

I thought WHISPERS by Dean Koontz was excellent ,if you havent read it you should

I like a squashed frog now and then

I must admit Misery and the shinning were great .Maybe I judged Stephen King to harshly before .

I finished reading Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz and I must admit, I'm a bit dissapointed .It wasnt what he put in his novel that left me unquenched,but what he left out .It was like a friday 13th film where your on the edge of your seat in suspense,to be dropped like a ton of bricks, when you see no gore or blood . I do like to use my own imagination ,but I need something to wet it . The basic story line was believablily contructed ,it could happen ,scientists are creating chromosomes of dangerous levels as we speak ,but I expected more .

At last I can put a face to all your names and what lovely faces they are .I'm honoured to meet you all

I'm a female

I'm reading Fear nothing by Dean Koontz which is compelling ,quirky and well up to his normal standard. .

Hi to all, Ive just finished (Misbehaving by Sarah Harvey) .Its a love story of sorts ,but its hilarious,rather than romanticised.. Its about a young woman named Alex who's boyfriend cheats on her .Her friends work out a plan to treat men as they treat women ,with many twists and turns along the way .I laughed out loud while reading this novel .I dare you to read without laughing .

no complacent as in smug, self satisfied . she writes as if she can never be wrong .

I ve never been in a work situation like she describes ,so I can't comprehend where shes coming from .but I do agree that this was the worst chapter to relate to . My personal opinion is that she is a complacent writer and I find her style intolerable.

I agree ,but arent we missing the point of monks ,that they are supposed to be religious men and should of been turning the other cheek ? Anyway I thought it hilarious that one of them had his teeth bleached . why would a monk think that was important ?

I agree with Ruth ,that not all women are rude to men unless its warranted, Breaking her cover brought a smile to my face ,as she couldnt hack it as a man being rejected ,but she was cheating to inform them that she was actually a woman . Overall I enjoyed this chapter.

I agree ,she treats both sexes with disrespect .

Yes ,chapter 3 is dating and 4 is the sex joint ,sorry Ruth . I did find the sex club chapter extremely vivid ,but she made all men look evil and all women sleazy. I don't think the women in this sitution are forced into doing it ,most of them enjoy what they do . I certainly don't think the men who venture into sex clubs feel ashamed of them selves ,as if they did they wouldnt go there in the first place . where are these subspecies she keep bantering on about ,she is so sexest .

I find this a problem if the writer uses to many long uncommon words ,so you have to keep stopping to look up the meanings

I would of thought it was quite popular in its time ,there were slots inside this cardboard book ,so the tiny books wouldnt fall out . Its a shame children of today don't enjoy the simplier things in life ,like a good book

Your lucky Vodkafan ,no sorting for you and your no greeny Isnt it funny how all these councils have different rules ,it would be alot easier for everyone ,if they followed a universal guideline and got them selves sorted

Dick Francis is good ,as long as you don't mind a slight horses theme .I also like Colin Dexter

It was nice to know that someone else finds it a nightmare . Thank you Poppyshake for making me laugh I could almost see you fighting with the cardboard ,I just hope you won .

Yes that sounds like a very good ideal ,whats the bet they don't do it around may way ? he he

Thank you Easy reader for the advise on ringing the council ,I will do that today and see what they come up with . Pickle ive seen these collection points by supermarkets ,but I don't drive .

5 years ago our lives were changed forever,the dreaded green issue was thrust upon us and separating waste was a way of life Everything had a place to go , a bag , bin or box , except cardboard . My hell had begun . I tried putting my cardboard in a cardboard box ,but if it rained in the night id wake up to a mess that even the bin men would leave I put it in plastic bags ,but you needed loads of them and where ts store it all and thats the other point . Where to keep all these boxes and things till the dustmen came Do anyone know how to ease my concerns ? All views welcome

Thank you Frankie ,for your kind words

Hello to all , Ive been on this forum awhile now and thought its time to introduce myself . I'm Christine ,ive always loved books from an early age . My favourite present that my grandparents bought me when I was about 5 years old ,was a large book . It was magical to me ,as when you opened it up ,it wasnt one book ,it was loads of minature books of well told stories ,like the ugly duckling and the three bears . I treasured it ,I even took it to bed with me . I hope I havent bored you ,as I'm only just finding my confidence .
