    I hope you're kidding. I really am. That was a triple offense. Right there. Isn't it three penalties, and you're out?

    For the thread: obviously 1984 and F451.

    Try D.H Lawrence for romance. Of Sons and Lovers is addictive in a romantically-justifiable-mush-kinda way.

    Say it ain't so...

    Admittedly, I have read only the first book in the series (I thought it was a 3-book collection?) but the sugar-coatedness and superficial writing put me off enough not to consider reading the others.

    It'd be great to find out which books LivesForever has decided to get but we have probably scared him off with our suggestions and incessant bickering over which books are worthwhile
