This'll sink then.

[Quincy]

im actually writing a book at the moment....

[Sidders]

I'm gonna write a book entitled "The best of Sidla" containing all my best posts. Should only take a couple of minutes.

Incendiary by Chris Cleave... topical and controversial (basically it's a letter to Osama Bin Laden about a woman who lost family to terrorist bombs, and released here only a few days before the 1st tube bombs), dark and then humourous in the same scene. First person perspective of a woman written by a bloke, genius. Thats the one I've just finished and it was bloody brilliant.

I have no idea what you're talking about! I'm only about a fifth in, so possibly .


Quince-face: I'm not underestimating you, I'm genuinely interested in your intellect .

[Quincy]

its about a flying cow with the head of a gerbil called poindexter.

[Lucie]

haven't I read something like that before?

[Uglybob]

well i always seem to buy another book before i finish the other one in some ways to speed up my reading.

today i received in the post

[Quincy]

im reading neil buchanan's autobiography. its facinating stuff.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

has anyone read a book by a woman and enjoyed it? I have never found any female author I have enjoyed.

Anyone who says JK Rowling will be ignored.

[Lucie]

Harper Lee, Jane Austen, Zadie Smith, The Bronte's and many etcs.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I read Persuasion which was ok... but wouldn't make me rush to read another.

[Lucie]

yes well you're a smelly BOY.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

very true... i suppose its hard to find women who write credible male characters and vice versa.

[DemonHorse]

see the book I just finished in above post, definately a contender for an example.

[MC]

dont underestimate me Lucie. i have a C at gcse in graphics.

You going to unleash some of your great graphics work on us here at chrismoyles.net soon Quincy?

yes I did see some on Unofficial Mills btw.

[Quincy]

i wouldnt want to make people jealous of my immense skills.

[MK Chris]

Does it have to be fiction? I've just finished reading Cosa Nostra, a history of the Sicilian Mafia, which I found fascinating...

[Sidders]

I'd much rather read a non-fiction book (apart from Harry Potter which is apparently being ignored), especially history books. I have a book at home which gives a short biography about all the British monarchs which I find fascinating.
