If you choose to answer this poll, thank you for taking the time to do so. It will be very interesting to see which genre recieves the most votes!

I fixed your poll for you. You forgot Fantasy/SciFi :P

I needs the fantasy T_T *weep*

Thank you so much, The Thought Fox! I've never done this before, and I don't know how to create multiple choice polls. Thank you! I worried about it all night, and I came here to try my best to fix it. But you've done it for me! So thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Well I chose the 'likes everything rolled into one' - and that is often what fantasy manages so nicely to achieve :D

That's a good poll, thanks for putting it up, and I'm now interested to see what everyton else thinks.

Er think i done this right- were u only meant to vote for one or all the options that u like?

One only, but i can live with that - it makes it look like we've got more members :D

Ohhh doh lol- i voted all. oh well.

:rolleyes:

There's always one..... :lol:

But it does make it look like we have many people answering the poll - and it's nice that you like so many types of books :D

lol yep- just depends on my mood really... and incidently i still not read the book you gave me yet... :wub:

Well then, I'm not going to speak to you untill you do!







Only kidding, you take as long as you like - I know you have a lot of work you're doing...and they're worth the wait :D

:( *cries*


Hmmm.... one day i'll get there.... and now i'm getting a bloody cold!

Beat you. Already got a cold. *sniffle*

lol Well ive got a headache too so there lol.
You got flu really haven;t you TF lol.?

Lol, not yet. That's usually around January/February time!

Whats on in jan/feb that you want to get out of? lol.

Thank you, Aleana15. I wasn't sure how many people would reply to the poll, so I was pleasantly surprised to see so many views and replies.

I hope you two feel better. A cold can be really miserable, and it can make work difficult. After all, what writer wants to try and create characters and sceens with a pounding headache?

I've had a headache off and on all day, too. So you aren't alone *waves*.

Awww I hope the headache leaves you soon so creativity can resume :D

Headaches are a real pain. With me they make me lose my apetite and of course there's the factor of finding work really difficult.

But doesn't it feel so good when the headache finally goes? lol

Yeah, headaches are one of the worst enemies of creativity, though they rank below uni work and other time-guzzling committments.

Hope everyone starts feeling better!

(BTW, note how another perfectly normal, literary conversation has, as is tradition here at AU, transpired into something completely random! God I love this place!!)

This probably isnt the place to post this, but it does seem to be the only place where it would be the least bit relevant. I assume that many of you have read The DaVinci Code by now. I just finished it, and I wonder if America went more insane than usual. How did that book become so popular? I mean honestly, it was fun and slightly suspenseful, but jesus tapdancing christ, Ludlum kicks Dan Browns ass at suspense and excitement. The puzzles weren't all that puzzling, and the information wasn't even new. I thought it was going to be exciting, but instead all he seemed to do was lecture on Holy Blood, Holy Grail (a fantastic text, I might add) perhaps no one else agrees with me, and this is probably the wrong place which to post this, which brings me to a belated thought: we need a place to post this. A reading discussion board, to coin a phrase. yes, well, thats my complaint for the day.

For me, the Da Vinci code was something of an oddity. I enjoyed it, and I found myself wanting to keep reading, but by the end, I wasn't particularly bothered about re-reading it, or anything else by Dan Brown for that matter.

We did have a book review topic, but it sank beneath the weight of other topics. By all means, start another if you want.

Cool thx re headache- him headache went but was replaced by hurting/sore neck spreading to shoulder which caused me to have to go to the osteopath and still feels sore from time to time and have to do exercises! Bloody body!
I've yet to read de-vinci code- its on my to read list (still aleana-i know!) along with jane eyre-b i'm hoked on the story at the mo. :)

I hate those 'to be read' lists that we all have. DL4's got my list - it's currently the length of the M6! Northbound AND Southbound!

lol. hmmm i don't normally like having a to read 'list' -used to read as fancied.. but time seems to disappear at present...

I think Time has generally deserted us. It certainly doesn't pay me a visit any more

visit? Think it's completely bypassed us!!

*adds Dantes Divine Comedy to the list* unless of course you've read it. :P

And the davinci code...got hype. Because it was OH NO CONTRAVERSIAL! THE CHURCH DUN LIKE IT!!!11

so, yeah, everyone bought it to see what the fuss was about, and then everyone else bought it because it was top of the book charts.
I haven't read it, but I've seen the film, and it was an okay adventure film. That was it.

I'll stick to Neil Gaiman thanks. *buys all of the Sandman books*

honestly, if you want good adventure thrillers, you need look no farther than Robert Ludlum. Apocalypse watch, Bourne Identity and Supremacy (to which the movies do no justice) as well as The Matarese Circle put 90 percent of other thriller writers to shame.

also, everyone needs to read Repairman Jack

At the moment I'm reading a good old fashined Jane Austen - Pursuasion (sp?)

:D

I don't have a written down list of books to read, but there is a mental one somewhere in the back of my brain. Somewhere...lol
