    November's bookworm trails

    My suggestion - skip the final book...it's terrible...sorry... Without spoilers - the man ran out of ideas on how to horrify and gross-out so he went totally overboard, I read it, but after the first 150 pages it was for closure and without any pleasure... I just finished the first 4 Vampire...

    The Lost Boys (1987)

    He's grown up to be quite good looking is about as far as I'd be willing to say, no idea what he's actually doing for a living :D

    Corpse Bride (2005)

    Da**, it hasn't even come out here yet, and knowing this stupid country and the decision makers, it'll probably go straight to DVD...

    Are Pratchett's books any good?

    asdar, that's an interesting comment...If someone asked me about why I enjoy them so much I'd say it's the satire that makes me feel at home in that world, because it pulls me in with its reality, while at the same time being different enough to be interesting and funny...

    The Lost Boys (1987)

    I never knew that...So when would they have filmed the extra material and interviews on the DVD special edition, he seemed pretty normal there to me...(two nights ago - I was gonna watch the film, and then put the other DVD in by mistake, and in the end didn't bother with the movie because they...

    The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova - any good?

    Haven't read it yet, but part of it's set in what is now Croatia, so over here it was translated and released almost simultaneously with the original...And it became a best seller in a week... I'm thinking of buying it as I've become fairly interested in vampire stories, but I'll see...I'd be...

    Bernard Cornwell

    Well, I finally got my hands on the final book in the Warlord Chronicles, and I cried my eyes out at the end...That series is definitely going on my 'to read again, often' list... I don't think I'll go after the rest of Cornwell's work for a long time, I've found in a few cases that if I read...

    Favorite line in a book

    'You've the shadow of a smile on your face - did someone die a horrible, grisly, bloody death, o venomous one?' - from the 1st Warcraft book, 'Day of the Dragon' by Knaak...I'd read the first 20 pages in a state of mild disinterest, got to that line, and was hooked :D It's not so much my...

    best/worst endings

    Depends...sometimes I like all loose ends tied up nicely, sometimes I like to have some aspect left up to the imagination...

    Anne McCaffrey bibliography

    Is there someone who could post a reading order for the Pern books? I'd like to get my hands on them after reading a novella in Legends, but I can never find out which to start from or how to go on...

    Say it ain't so!!

    Why does the chorus make me think Nimoy did a rehash of 'Davyyyyy, Davy Crocket, king of the wild frontier'? I'm gonna have to get my hands on this song :D

    Suggestions

    Weeeeeell... For a Warcraft fan, how about the Warcraft BOOKS? :D I'm assuming no one has actually come across these, but there are quite a few...I have Day of the Dragon by Knaak and it's pretty good... (a long abandoned translating project which I'm considering resurrecting :D) Go to any...

    The August what are you reading thread

    I've finally picked up Ivanhoe, and at the rate I've started at I'll either give up or be finished in a few days, depending on how my mood goes...(I read under a small light each evening when I'm trying to get the kids to sleep). After that I'll be reading and translating H.P. Lovecraft's Case...

    Who is the best Historical Fiction author?

    Rich, I've read all his books...Angels and Demons is excellent, another Robert Langdon book along the lines of Code, it's actually set earlier than the events in the Code, but has no direct bearing on the later story... There's also Deception Point and Digital Fortress, which deal with NASA...

    Who is the best Historical Fiction author?

    The Anya Seton book is Green Darkness...Very good book, I was pretty freaked out by the story... I can't believe I forgot about her...'Katherine' is one of my favourite books, I must have read it a dozen times...I like the way she didn't just write about well known people but took the chanse...

    Grab That Broom, Wincewind! I Command You!

    I played the first one until Wincewind ended up on top of a tower and the dragon kept flying past and I couldn't get down...So I gave up... I played the second game and finished it, there's a great deal of trial and error involved if you don't want to use a guide, but it's great fun exploring...

    Discworld cartoons.

    I think those two are the only ones, but I'm not sure... I have the first half of Soul Music on VHS, I watched it once and kind of gave up the idea of buying the rest...It was a bit too bland, I guess I was expecting it to be much more colourful... I do appreciate Sir Christopher Lee as the...

    Different Harry Potter editions??

    There's no extra gore in the adult version, it's just like Ash says... Personally, I've never been embarrased by my book covers, ever since my first Discworld novel on which the cover art features Josh Kirby's wild colours and buxom, scantily clad young ladies keeping company with gnarly old...
