Dunno what you'd define as dense then frankly, it was a brilliantly convoluted story and Orwell pulls no punches in using sophisticated language. I suppose it has a fairly decent pace.

1984 is pretty dense, that you enjoyed it doesn't necessarily make it light reading.

If you're trying to read Austen I wouldn't start with Emma, it's the most uneventful, laboriously written, sentimental of all her works. Sense and Sensibility is the busiest, easiest read by far.

Not the way you do it. wackawacka!

Opera House, Play House.

Just saw Miriam Margolyes in Dickens Women, absolutely extraordinary. I didn't want her to end, I loved her before and I love her even more now.

Yeeeaaah dunno if I agree about the chivalry part. I think a lot of notions of chivalry are a bit patronizing but at the same time I think we often conflate ideas of chivalry with politeness into the same thing. I think the idea of a man assuming some sort of heroic protector role for these...

Perhaps but no human should ever be forced to endure them.

For future reference, next time you find yourself asking "is it just meor..." it's probably safe to assume it's just you. Not that I've ever been to a book club but I imagine a Coldplay concert for example would be less pleasant.

He might be, but there must be something about him for her to "love him very much" as she put it.

You don't know his circumstances. The agony of being in love and not knowing if the relationship is going to survive a certain impasse can be so intense as to make a person hastily bring it to end, just to get some certainty. They don't do it because they want it to end, but because they just...

Dunno what you two are squabbling about, frankly I thought both of them (and the rest of Scandinavia cept Sweden) sent pretty anemic acts this year.

Tosser.

Love is everything

We both understood what the other was doing perfectly, you can pretend otherwise but you know the truth.

Got one of these from Roger David yesterday, it's not the most regal bag you'll ever find but at that price I'm more than happy with it. http://www.rogerdavid.com.au/accessories/big-black-bag.html

The UK wasn't actually bad in any sense he just lacked a quality which set him out from the pack. I agree Israel were my favourite song of the comeptition, it was just pure enjoyment to watch and listen to. Cyprus was my pick of the serious entries. Also I agree with someone on twitter who said...

:jawdrop: Get out!

You watch your mouth, that's the love of her life you're talking about there. What kind of unromantic twit are you? Did you read Wuthering Heights and think "She's not worth it Heathcliffe, just move on if she is even considering marrying Linton she clearly doesn't love you enough."
