biketrialler Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I did read the thread and most of it was all of that Simon/Kerry bullshit, and others moaning that the ending had been ruined, so shut the f**k up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMonkey Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) And the reason I said I'd read War and Peace is cos we're studying it in English for GCSE, and we've been advised to read it, but to be frank I couldn't be arsed....but other people have suggested it now, so I decided to give it a go..... ← Oh, what board is your examination run by? Because I didn't know any of them ran War and Peace, as it isn't the most user friendly of books. Around 1500 pages (I think) and remembering quotes from it, as you can't take your books into exams anymore. Yeah. Catching my drift?

delusional Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 You could save yourself the time reading J.K rowling now you know the ending and read a far superior book like something by steven king or Wilbur smith. While some of Steven King's stuff is quite enjoyable, he's not exactly a superior author to J.K. Rowling. If anything he's a bit crap, relying on a lot of cheap shots and crappy horror. Having said that, I really liked the Bachman books, but I still wouldn't class him as a particularly good (and certainly not superior) author. If you want a really good author you want to get into some Philip K Dick (every single thing he ever wrote is excellent), Orwell (although Orwell had a few duds, notably Burmese Days, but we can forgive him that for the utter brilliance of his other work), Heinlein (more miss than hit, but Starship Troopers and Citizen of the Galaxy are utterly fantastic works) or Silverberg (mostly for Dying Inside, which is a master work paralleled only by 1984). Sorry, sort of slipped into book geek mode there :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 What's the big deal with this tripe? Read a Stephen King book, much more entertaining, they don't use bent names either.

Mark W Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 The first bit is all good, but it's the bit in bold I don't like. "He said in a scottish accent" would have been acceptable. Anyway the guy who acts Hagrid (name escapes my multiply concussed brain) lives fairly near me and his kids go to my school. So if you're being rude about us scots, I'll have him set on you. B) Also in my defence I read that thred at about 7 minutes to midnight and was about to go to sleep. (N)" ← *sigh* A "thick" accent is one which has a strong sound to it. Therefore, a blatantly "thick" accent like Robbie Coltrane's is a "thick" accent... Thick means the same as strong in accent terms, it's just that people tend to use "thick". So there we go... Munki got demoted for raping Danny. Fact.™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyroo Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 For those of you who are interested, there is a small but funny book about a wizard who goes to a magic school who does take drugs and do things with woman, and its called Barry Trotter. Its quite good for a quick light hearted read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
