ah i didn't realize it was already out LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 13/01/2010 11:44:53 PM
that's a bit disappointing to hear...I might go ahead and avoid it for now then. I have other things to read and it's not like the new plot relates to the old ones.
Still Empress of the Poofy Purple Pillow Pile Palace!!
Continued Love of my Aussie <3

The Count of Monte Cristo was a terrible choice for a book discussion. Tom - 09/01/2010 07:41:01 PM 1881 Views
Hey, now (copy/paste) Camilla - 09/01/2010 07:48:56 PM 1403 Views
People should think about these things before recommending books. Tom - 09/01/2010 08:13:10 PM 1471 Views
Which is why I voted for Bulgakov's M & M. The Shrike - 09/01/2010 10:56:00 PM 1474 Views
Agreed. Madame Bovary is serious literature. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:02:34 AM 1326 Views
Are you nuts!!?? Milla - 10/01/2010 08:37:47 AM 1614 Views
I wanted to do that too. Ghavrel - 10/01/2010 01:24:42 AM 1253 Views
It's bloody marvellous. *NM* Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:05:47 AM 621 Views
Our next discussions will have preselected options. Jacob - 10/01/2010 01:00:59 AM 1432 Views
I heartily support the move from democracy to oligarchy! Tom - 10/01/2010 01:04:13 AM 1369 Views
I agree. Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:01:33 AM 1314 Views
I disagree slightly Larry - 09/01/2010 09:07:12 PM 1306 Views
Well, by that standard a Jackie Collins novel is worthy of debate. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:08:04 AM 1367 Views
I think you misunderstand my intent Larry - 10/01/2010 01:10:57 AM 1402 Views
You poopyhead! Tom - 10/01/2010 01:19:11 AM 1479 Views
Oh, I almost forgot Larry - 10/01/2010 01:11:50 AM 1327 Views
Ooh...I'd love to hear them!!! What did Eco say to trash Dumas? *NM* Tom - 10/01/2010 01:19:43 AM 544 Views
Here's the French translation from Eco's work on supermen Larry - 10/01/2010 01:39:28 AM 1428 Views
I love it. Strangely enough, though, he wrote an introduction to the book. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:54:24 AM 1284 Views
Not really strange as Eco has long been fascinated by this book DomA - 11/01/2010 05:01:56 PM 1297 Views
Did he mention it in his book on ugliness? Tom - 11/01/2010 05:12:55 PM 1220 Views
Re: Did he mention it in his book on ugliness? DomA - 11/01/2010 05:52:29 PM 1592 Views
I like Eco's distinction between light fiction and literature. Tom - 12/01/2010 04:16:38 PM 1423 Views
Re: Here's the French translation from Eco's work on supermen DomA - 11/01/2010 03:49:15 PM 1498 Views
That's fascinating. Of course, I disagree with Eco's praise. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:12:25 PM 1207 Views
Re: That's fascinating. Of course, I disagree with Eco's praise. DomA - 11/01/2010 06:22:24 PM 1547 Views
I agree that abridging it would not work well. Tom - 12/01/2010 04:06:26 PM 1411 Views
In which case... Jacob - 12/01/2010 05:22:34 PM 1180 Views
Yes Camilla - 13/01/2010 07:56:08 PM 1461 Views
Not really. Tom - 15/01/2010 01:18:10 PM 1629 Views
I think there are plenty of things that can be discussed. Rebekah - 09/01/2010 10:00:06 PM 1548 Views
Discussed and put to rest in 5 minutes or less, perhaps. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:17:02 AM 1418 Views
Depends on who you are, one would imagine. Rebekah - 10/01/2010 08:16:11 AM 1444 Views
<pretentious>Well, why should we cater to the lowest common denominator? Tom - 11/01/2010 02:17:03 AM 1372 Views
Heh. Rebekah - 11/01/2010 07:49:47 AM 1279 Views
I'd laugh... LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 07:21:38 PM 1145 Views
Tom is the primary reason I want an ignore feature again. lord-of-shadow - 12/01/2010 02:17:29 AM 1198 Views
I'm glad to hear that. *NM* Tom - 12/01/2010 04:17:30 PM 581 Views
And so you've reached this decision about Tom... Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:10:44 PM 1389 Views
I don't get that. Well, of course I do from Tom, but let's put him aside for this discussion. Ghavrel - 12/01/2010 03:35:21 AM 1507 Views
It's frustrating though... LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 04:18:37 AM 1437 Views
I think if you posted that (or something like it) people would reply to it. Darth_Katie - 12/01/2010 05:08:53 AM 1457 Views
Perhaps. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 05:26:38 AM 1151 Views
Given the people who have read the Kushiel books, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. Ghavrel - 12/01/2010 05:58:33 AM 1215 Views
I was mostly just giving an example. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 06:14:04 AM 1310 Views
You're not. Legolas - 12/01/2010 02:16:09 PM 1257 Views
Her next series sounds interesting LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 02:20:17 PM 1151 Views
It does, but the reviews I've seen aren't too enthusiastic. Legolas - 12/01/2010 02:29:26 PM 1191 Views
Yes, but how so? LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 02:39:59 PM 1277 Views
Well... Elaine - 13/01/2010 07:03:08 PM 1358 Views
Honestly... Legolas - 13/01/2010 07:51:14 PM 1353 Views
Absolutely. Elaine - 14/01/2010 12:55:00 PM 1495 Views
Re: Absolutely. Legolas - 14/01/2010 01:57:47 PM 1356 Views
In short, not a good name for a daughter. At least not one with an interest in Classics. Ghavrel - 15/01/2010 05:32:35 AM 1273 Views
I'm staying far, far away from Seneca. Legolas - 15/01/2010 02:01:49 PM 1516 Views
Ah, yes. The Apocolocyntosis. Possibly the least amusing humor ever penned. I hate Seneca. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/01/2010 02:14:32 AM 512 Views
ah i didn't realize it was already out LadyLorraine - 13/01/2010 11:44:53 PM 1152 Views
'tis. Elaine - 14/01/2010 12:56:11 PM 1514 Views
I really don't think it would. Rebekah - 12/01/2010 07:49:32 AM 1346 Views
I have tried before. LadyLorraine - 12/01/2010 01:59:24 PM 1240 Views
If it is well-written and defends the value of the book, I don't see why you shouldn't post it. Tom - 12/01/2010 05:12:58 PM 1430 Views
That's bullshit Larry - 12/01/2010 11:12:55 PM 1386 Views
True, true. Rebekah - 16/01/2010 08:54:16 AM 1108 Views
Luckily for you... Larry - 16/01/2010 08:59:23 AM 1492 Views
Re: "Omigod you read light fantasy?" Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:04:41 PM 1592 Views
Har. *NM* Raserei - 18/01/2010 10:03:31 PM 736 Views
I'm quite enjoying it. Nebhead - 09/01/2010 10:40:30 PM 1369 Views
A kid's book of adventure doesn't translate into a good book club discussion. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:21:11 AM 1268 Views
I have to agree LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 12:36:55 AM 1382 Views
How did you find deeper meaning (pun intended) in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 02:17:55 AM 556 Views
It was half bullshit, you must understand LadyLorraine - 11/01/2010 03:59:42 PM 1250 Views
Come on, there is lovely tragedy there... jh - 13/01/2010 07:32:49 PM 1188 Views
I am pleased to be referenced in a cross-board discussion. *NM* Raserei - 18/01/2010 09:29:45 PM 694 Views
