Something festive, to get you in the mood?

Something the opposite of festive, to help you forget?

Something not at all related in any way to festive or non-festive?

And have you chosen a book for this month's challenge? Have you seen the film of the book yet?

Do tell.

By "festive" I take it you mean Halloween-related? Tim - 09/10/2011 12:05:49 AM 868 Views

The final book is among the better ones, albeit completely unrelated to the rest of the series. *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2011 10:42:39 PM 401 Views
Either way, they're mercifully short works, compared to Der Zauberberg and Anna Karenina. Tom - 11/10/2011 01:07:59 AM 900 Views
It is perhaps the worst pile of shit I have read in a long time. Tom - 19/10/2011 03:04:12 AM 819 Views
Oh. I guess there's no accounting for tastes. Legolas - 19/10/2011 08:08:50 PM 871 Views
SMOOTH READ? That book is the definition of a choppy, disjointed piece of shit. Tom - 19/10/2011 08:30:22 PM 908 Views
