• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    The Stand by Stephen King, after polishing off the disappointing The Spook's Destiny by Joseph Delaney and the opposite-of-disappointing The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

    The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett, as part of my attempts to read my way through the City Watch books.

    The Colour Out of Space by H.P. Lovecraft. I am now convinced that H.P. Lovecraft travelled through time to the modern day, saw my Slendervlog, stole the plot and returned to his own time to write The Colour Out of Space.

    Finally finished reading Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Probably going to read The Secret History by Donna Tartt next.

    Making my way through The Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes. I have to say, it's not the best poetry I've read. I feel like Hughes is trying to be as confessional as Plath and failing hard. Also, there are way too many literary and mythological references. It's quite elitist really. And it's...

    I usually view speculative fiction as a blanket term for sci-fi and fantasy.

    Re-reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak for English.

    I've read some of it, and it is certainly not a well-written book. My copy comes with oodles of hilarity because the footnotes inform me of places where Hitler blatantly lies about himself.

    Re-reading The Saga of Darren Shan, then I'm going to give Mein Kampf another go.

    Never Make A Promise You Can't Break - How To Succeed in Irish Politics by Gene Kerrigan and The Art of War by Sun Tzu. My Qur'an was taken from me by my cousin :/ He was drunk and has a blackbelt in judo, there wasn't much I could do.

    What are you reading?

    Yeah, I looked it up and apparently it wasn't the best. For that and other reasons, I got the Qur'an instead. Also for a fiver.

    What are you reading?

    Well, it's only five euro because Tall Tales got bought and changed into Ouroboros Books, who apparently don't stock classics, so they're selling off the remaining stock for a fiver each. They're Wordsworth Classics, so whatever translation they use.

    I got Ulysses, The Origin of Species and The Interpretation of Dreams for fifteen euro and I'm getting the Iliad and the Oddyssey in one volume for a fiver tomorrow. YAY SALE

    What are you reading?

    I'm far more of a fantasy fan than sci-fi, so I won't presume to recommend anything in that genre.

    What are you reading?

    Whatever it is doesn't sound too great. I've never read any science fiction with any sex-scenes actually, unless you count Dan Brown because half the science he uses in his stories is complete fiction, ho ho ho.

    I got back into Pratchett just long enough to read Mort and Reaper Man, then I went to the library and picked up Anathem by Neal Stephenson, The Bromeliad by Terry Pratchett, which I've been meaning to reread for a long time, and the first two Shannara books. Also got King's The Gunslinger in...

    I'm sick of being so pig-headed all the time, it just makes me even more annoying than I am anyway. I'm trying to learn to just admit when I'm wrong.

    Actually, yes, you're right, I'm wrong and the Oxford comma is a perfectly acceptable punctuation point when used properly.
