Hurlshort Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Dubliners is good stuff...depressing as hell though. I started a new series by Bernard Cornwell about the Holy Grail. The first book was called Archer. It's a good change from his Napoleonic War era series. He's a very solid historical fiction author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidesco Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 there are more than 300,000 internet sites dedicated to naked flesh. Isn't 300,000 like a really small number? If someone were to ask me, I'd say there were millions of porn sites on the net.

Chupacabra Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Finished Hamlet. Good play. Probably the best of his I've read so far.

metadigital Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I just found it! The book that has been haunting me for months; the book that I mentioned last year and the name of which I couldn't remember ... It's Frank McLynn's 1759 (subtitled The year Britain became Master of the World). From the back: Although 1759 is not a date as well known in British history as 1215, 1588 or 1688, there is a strong case to be made that it is the most significant year since 1066.

Pidesco Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Are you talking about the similarites between Holy Blood Holy Grail and The Da Vinci Code? No, I'm talking about the awful writing, the shallow characterization, the craptastic, predictable story and the complete waste of a perfectly good theme for a book.
