Mary - an excellent review! I must rent the film out in english, just to hear all the original voices. A lot of the points you make are ones that came up discussing it with my family. As for "wasted" actors, in a way, Eva Green (Serafina) was wasted, in that you lost the background story between...

And in Argentina (and presumably Spain, since we get so many books from there) we use dashes. So the example would be: Argentina: - My mother said "Don't talk to strangers", so I'm not allowed. You don't have a dash at the end unless there's a reporting clause (?) after it, e.g.: - My...

A couple of sites I've used are Shadow Poetry -- A World of Poetry at Your Fingertips, which has a pretty good guide to diferent types of poetry, and RhymeZone rhyming dictionary and thesaurus if your stuck for rhymes. I should point out that I'm an extremely amateur poet, writing for my own...

Yes, that's another weird thing. Wouldn't it make more sense to have everyone sitting down? People would get really tired standing for eight hours, surely. And that way everyone could have seatbelts;)

A monkey...hmm. It' called Aurelio, it seems. Your MONKEY DAEMON represents a nature that is admired, detail-oriented, and full of curiosity. Some people might call you self-absorbed. You like to plan ahead, and hone your various talents to perfection. Not the animal I'd have expected, but...

I loved the books. Evil Arty was very funny, though I did want to kill him at times. Holly's my favourite character, though Root and Foaly come close seconds.

Mary, I loved City of Stars! The whole idea the Stravagante, and the parallel worlds is just brilliant. I love the short stories on your site too. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any of your other books, living in Argentina. Have the books been published in Spanish? I might be able to...

Victory Unintentional, there's another great one

Tough question... Picard, Crusher, Data, Riker... I'm useless at picking one favourite

Carrot Ironfounderson: 69% Death: 56% The Librarian: 44% Lord Havelock Vetinari: 38% Esmerelda (Granny) Weatherwax: 38% Gytha (Nanny) Ogg: 38% Greebo: 38% Commander Samuel Vimes: 31% Cohen The Barbarian: 25% Rincewind: 25% Interesting... I wasn't expecting to be Carrot. or Death. The...

If you have the choice, I'd definitely recomend reading the robot series in order. That is: 1. Caves of Steel 2. Naked Sun 3. Robots and Dawn 4. Robots and Empire If you care to, reading I, Robot and The Rest of the Robots first might be the best way to go, but it's not necessary. The Robot...

The Naked Sun was the last one. Of course, being me, I read Robots and Empire before reading The Naked Sun. I think I'll see if I can get Robots of Dawn, that way I'll have one complete series. I loved Caves of Steel, one of the first sf books I read. I might re-read it if I can locate it on...

Thank you Ian and pyan!

In chapter 51 (Relic) Moses Kaldor gives to Mirissa Leonidas a gift: a gold, gleaming bell that was the model of a temple. Inside it was: "(...) All that's left of one of the greatest men who ever lived; he founded the only faith that never became stained with blood. I'm sure he would have...

I like the Vulcans a lot, and the Klingons. Q is uterly briliant.

I agree completely. That's a good comparison with Sherlock Holmes, I'd never thought of it. Holmes can be rather cold too at times. Also, they both sometimes get impatient (Holmes much more often) when other people don't understand them and the way they work. j.d: Ah, thanks. I must remember...

Perhaps it's so you can give them all sorts of interesting phsychological problems in the present, due to their troubled childhood? I saw this theory somewhere but can't remember where, unfortunately.

dustinzgirl, I love your idea about having the house cleaned spotless just by thinking about it. Actually, I'd settle for just the desk and bookcases being tidy!

First Contact: William Riker: We finished our first sensor sweep of the neutral zone. Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, fascinating. 20 particles of space dust per cubic meter, 52 ultraviolet radiation spikes, and a Class II comet. Well, this is certainly worthy of our attention. Data: Captain, I...

j. d. worthington: I'd forgotten about "Satisfaction Guaranteed". I like the different sides of her we get to see too. Judging for the introduction to "I, Robot", she was always undemostrative, rather than becoming so as a result of her career. "She was a frosty girl, plain and colourless...
