110415 I meant to post the link but for some reason it didn't work :( I will try again in a bit when I've found it

110415 Have you read this one? The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas [Full text] by Ursula le Guin - it's pretty good and very thought-provoking

110415 We could vote - then we would all be discussing the same thing - a lot of the classic gothic horror novels are fairly short anyway or we could do some spooky short stories??

110415 Yeah< I really enjoyed the first series but haven't seen the second yet - I really like Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Holmes and Watson but I didn't fancy the American version either.

110415 A bit of all three I think, and no, I don't care either (it's better than being one of the above people).

A spitting tax would be my suggestion - digusting! And a littering tax that actually gets enforced!

110415 I'm reading The Hound of the Baskervilles but have had to put some music on cos someone's dog outside keeps making a racket - freaking me out considering what I'm reading :S
110415 Good luck with your first day!

110415 I'm going to cross them off when I get through so I can see if I making a dent in the mountain.

110415 It looks really good so hopefully will get to it soon! I didn't realise how many I had until I started making a list - I have added (most) of the ones on my kindle as well though so apart from the few stragglers that were hiding that's it. I really need to concentrate on getting though them but then I go to the library/charity bookshop/kindle sale page etc and it's too tempting!

110415 Wow Ellie! That's a weekend and a half - do you need to go back to work for a bit of a rest now? ;)
I'm also very impressed with you working for Samaritans - do you do a shift every week?

110415 Ah ha! It did put me in mind of that first part of 'Under Milk Wood' that you posted the other day so that makes sense.
