I love sci fi, I'd say my favourite sci fi novel would be perfect for you. Theodore Sturgeon - More Than Human. It's about the next step in the evolution of mankind, it follows a small group of...
maybe cats are more popular than dogs, so cats were finding homes more often and having to drop of out of class. or maybe there is less dogs in the shelter and so they are more likely to be admitted...
i didn"t even know there was a Us version. Interesting.
Thanks guys, it's a shame that i lived in NZ for two years and didn't take many pictures because i had a terrible camera which tended to run out of batteries after every photo taken. Heres a few more...
He is a great character, i recommend you learn about the man, he has had a crazy life.
Once while my favourite film critic was reviewing him he was shot by an air rifle in the groin, he said it...
It's an english show and has run for about 5 series here. I recommend the first two, it has some very good stand up comedians on the writing team (josie long for one) and you can tell, it's not...
This forum is quite an influence. The internet in general, there is no one in my day to day life i discuss books with so i tend to find out about things from researching on the internet. Then there...
i have a rob roy from 1828 or something, it's in pretty good condition but i think it's only a second edition. I have some Graham Greene first editions too which are just nice to have because he is...
At my friend's house in New Zealand, my camera sucks and doesn't really capture how amazing it really is there.

1. The Third Policeman - Flann O'Brienn, been on my list a few years, saw it in my local secondhand shop yesterday :)
Much better than my plan to read 2011 new authors, I'm in!
Kafka is a good name to come up. Kafka is about as unique as they come, and that's what the thread's author wants I believe.
I've always been a great champion of Sometimes A Great Notion by Kesey,...
Truman - David McCullough
White Teeth - Zadie Smith
The Razor's Edge - W. Sommerset Maugham
The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Leguin
More Than Human - Theodore Sturgeon
I know he wrote a very weird film i like called A Boy and His Dog. I must check him out, but i've never been a huge reader of short stories, which i guess i should change as a sci fi fan.
I'm pretty sure it's Levin, but i can't remember for certain :)
i always liked:
"He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking."

Thanks for the heads up, i loved reading Macbeth when i was at school (i was the only one...). I remember they showed us a version on video then with Macbeth riding around in armored vehicles and...
It has a bad rep? I thought it was widely considered a great read.
You can get editions without the whaling essays but i agree it does make it unique, and it makes it feel like it was written...
Animal Farm is my main one, mainly because i have read 7 of his others and most more than once. I'm kind of saving Animal Farm till last, but it's embarrassing because i consider him one of my...
yeah I'll second that. It's well done so far, and it's another show that take's an English actor and gives them an accent, which seems to be working well over there.
I've tried to read TSATF before and wasn't really in the mood for it, so i'm quite up for this one. Now i just have to locate it in my flat :(
