Book review thread

Post by Evilelmo » 04 Feb 2009, 14:26

Was thinking of starting one

Yes/No?

I would write book reviews (and contrary to popular belief, i read a lot of sci-fi :P, but i may throw in some romance reviews for shits and giggles)


would other people write them too?

Maybe.

The deciding factor would be if I read a book...

Dear Molotov,
I've often wondered if the letters are true?

Well anyway - today I went to visit my physio and she was wearing a low cut top that...
Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

If you'd let me finish the story, you'd know the head was out then too...

On topic though, go for it, Schmelmo - are you planning on keeping it strictly review, or allowing brief/in depth synopsis accompaniment?

... Is this a desperate ploy for you to prove how smart you are Smelmo?
Having an abundance of platonic relationships reminiscent of my man, Mike Plato.

I think she got jealous of the Russian porn spam we had the other day and wants to post romance novels threads.

Not really mew, I think Phil and Cart would cringe at my grammar - it's atrocious!!! >< Grammar has never been one of my focal points during engriwsh.


It's just that i have a love of books (some sci fi as well) and thought you lot would appreciate what i share. In return, I would appreciate it as well if you guys could share some of your favourite books.

Or am i turning this guild into the ladies book club? ><


bring cheese and wine! :P

We reserve the right to edit your posts for the purpose of correction.

Also:
Create a new thread for each book mebbe, to allow discussions? How did you want to work this?
