    It's July - What Are You Reading?

    I have just finished Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith, I really enjoyed both of them. I've just started Armada by Cline and am thinking of maybe The Martian bu Andy Wier or perhaps finally getting round to Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch.

    Nostalgia: Aussie sci-fi/fantasy shows

    Farscape did far better overseas than it did here, not because people didn't like it, but because the network it was shown on would not show it at the regular time, and bump it to a different time slot every week or advertise it to be on and show something boring like cricket or 60 minutes.

    Nostalgia: Aussie sci-fi/fantasy shows

    Around the Twist was released a few years ago on DVD and I have introduced it to my son. It was very popular in my house as a kid. Many of the episodes were out of Paul Jennings books - Not sure if you got them over the pond, but they were pretty awesome reads as a kid. We had some great shows...

    Photo Challenge Rejects!

    My friend has a Canon 60d and I am really impressed with the photos she takes with it, so I would probably go with that or the next generation. Canon seem to have way better support for their models too. I looked into getting more lenses for the Olympus but it is just too expensive and too much...

    any good prehistoric man books?

    Jean M Auel's series is pretty decent up until the 5th book. If you read the first 4 and then stop its a good series. The 5 book was pretty horrible and I haven't been able to bring myself to read the last one.

    What was the last movie you saw?

    Went to a Fox product night last night and was treated to "The Bachelorette" Which was actually ok, there were some funny lines in it, and overall didn't suck.

    "Wha... you don speak American?"

    'Nana as in Banana As to the topic of Sprinkles and Hundreds and Thousands, over here they are terms for different things. Hundreds and Thousands are small round coloured balls and Sprinkles are also small and multicoloured but they are like minuscule cylinders and are flavored. We use...

    "Wha... you don speak American?"

    I don't think I would have had a problem with the hose pipe thing, though here it is just referred to as a hose. I guess it depends on your intended target audience though. Montero, we do use the term "Chucking a wobbly" also, which is also synonymous with "Go Mental", "Go Spare", "Do my 'Nana"...

    50 Shades of Grey

    Can't say that I am at all interested in reading this series, I mean if I want good erotica, I know where to find it. I do have many work friends who are reading it though, mostly they are 40 or over, and single, or under 25 and loved the Twilight series and neither group have ventured far past...

    Stephen King's DarkTower series

    I have only just been put on to this series from a work friend, I am currently up to book 4, I think it has to be up there among the best series I have read. I haven't read much of Kings other works, but after this I may have to give them a go.

    What was the last movie you saw?

    I went on Sunday to see "Cabin in the Woods" with a work friend. It is only on limited release in Australia, only one Cinema per state which is a shame as it is a great movie. Sure its no Oscar winner, but I love the mix of humour and gore.

    The Hunger Games **spoilers for Catching Fire and Mockingjay**

    I have started reading this series (on to Mockingjay) and I am having a hard time putting it down. I only started reading it after watching the movie, as I had been hesitant on reading them due to the hype about it from people I know who had raved about the Twilight series, but I am pleasantly...
