    Big Sleep

    After making this film the director and screenwriter were asked a few questions on the flow of events (you might have noticed that is fucking confusing) and they couldn't answer them. Don't feel stupid for not knowing what's going on. Make (or aquire) a summary of the characters and scenes.

    Anil's Ghost

    I did it for Ext1 last year. I never actually finished it though. I would like to finish it at some point though. While it is quite slow at times, it really is an awesome book in my opinion. I especially like Ondaatje's view of nature and Sri Lankan (?) sprirtuality. It's based on the civil war...

    Best/Worst Novel

    Yes, and it's justified. Like I said in an earlier post, I had low standards when I read them. I was reading them purely for enjoyment. However, the sharp drop in quality was noticable to me then. Open one of the covers of the Krondor series and look at the acknowlegements. He thanks the...

    Best/Worst Novel

    Farietale was the first that I read of Feist. I loved it. However, the Krondor series seemed like nothing more than an attempt to get more money out of the concepts. They made a videogame called "Betrayal at Krondor" which triggered the Krondor series. The game was crap, the books ain't any better.

    Best/Worst Novel

    The only ones I didnt enjoy were the Krondor series. That was just stagnant and horrible. The Empire series was great, the Serpent-war series was ok, Silverthorn was a little boring but I didn't mind Darkness at Sethanon. Anyway, It's been years since I read them. I had lower standards then...

    anyone out there red Catch-22?

    I envy you. We did crime fiction in ext 1. I hate crime fiction. Anyway, I loved Catch 22, it's the most enjoyable book I've read.

    Bush or Kerry

    Actually, what we perceive as truth usually is just an opinion. Especially on political matters.

    Also, if you're into escapism, Feist writes great fantasy.

    Best/Worst Novel

    Most enjoyable: Catch 22 by Heller Most thought provoking: The Outsider by Camus or The Age of Reason by Satre (existentialism is an interest of mine). Worst: Almost all the teen fiction I've ever read, and The Catcher in the Rye by Salinger (Didn't teach me anything new and Holden almost...

    HARRY POTTER: Has anybody noticed....?

    He would hardly seem like a hero or appeal to angsty teenage "magick" (snigger) enthusiasts if his life had been all sunshine and lollipops.
