I don't really agree with all his views, but he is certainly an entertaining writer.

I used to be like that, but more in an obsessed way. It's the only reason I forced myself to finish Chaucer's 'Tales of Canterbury' at age 8 and Jules Verne's 'Twenty thousand leagues under the sea' when I was 10. Nowadays I have more constraints on my time, so if a book ain't cutting it, I drop and move on.

In my defense for picking up TTLUtS in the first place, I misread the cover and thought it said Twenty thousand legends...

:shock: I can't even understand it now! Did you have a 'translated' version in modern English, or were you a 'baby genius' (I love that film)

Have you seen the Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger? (I love that film too!)

It was must like a 'translated' version, but alot the words were very archaic.

Right to die by Hazel Mchaffie.
b.o.r.i.n.g
Its about a woman whose husband had died from Motor Neurone Disease. HE kept a diary from until he was diagnosed to his death on the computer. So i thought it would be interesting. But the woman - the main character- Naomi, kept going on and on about her own secret and felt guilty about whether her husband had found out during his illness. her story is so predictable, i didnt manage it past the first chapter. so i wouldnt recommend it 😃

Can anyone recommend any books that are useful and also very interesting. Doesnt have to be Islamic coz I already have plenty Islam lit.

I love reading but have not picked up a book in years because I haven't got time to look for a good book, I miss reading a lot!

😂

I want to watch the movie, but its coming at 2am on tv, so erm...where can I watch it on the internet? :S

What channel?

ITV1

There are probably ways. ITV has a catchup service - no idea if that would have it on there or not. (but it required the installing of software... makes me wary.)

Okay, thanks, I've never watched anything on ITV player though.

Neither have I and don't plan to either.
