Or you could use a giant sized pack (like Brucy on Play Your Cards Right)

Is that strange rythmic banging noise the sound of Dave's forehead on the desk in front of him?

Okay, now those posts read REALLY strangely...

the [clink] was the sound of the penny finally dropping, for those who may have been wondering...

For those who haven't read the BOOK, I'd recommend it..

Considering your interests in detection and cats, have you read any of Lilian Jackson Braun's series of whodunits whose titles all begin "The Cat Who"... ?

Warning! Product may contain Newts...

or Akif Pirincci's 'Felidae' about a cat who is also a detective?

Skiffle's got the Lilian Jackson Brauns, or at least some of them. Remind me to borrow them when I've read my way through all the books I've recently bought! I'm currently engrossed in "Crime and Punishment".

Don't know about Chekhov, but I think Mr Spock is, to use his own term, fascinating... ;-)

I read a motivational book (How to be a complete failure, IIRC) that recomended the Spoick technique. When everything is crashing around your ears, rather than panicking and feeling sorry for yourself, step back and say 'Hmm, how interesting'.

It really works, too...

Has anyone read 'Samurai William' by Giles Milton (at least, I think that's his name...) Saw it in Borders the other day and thought it looked interesting. Was trying to find another book in their 3 for 2 offer, already had 'Effendi' by Jon Courtenay Grimwood, looking for another 2.

Tempted by some Hemingway (having just read Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure)... anyone read any?

Borders have some good stuff in the 3 for 2

I'm going to read "Embers" soon and i got bea to buy the "Song of Names" which looked interesting and i want to get it as well

Re reading Hemmingway _ I read 'To Have And Have Not', to see how much they'd altered it for the film. In my opinion the film's better (which usually isn't the case...) but the original story's OK.

'Course the film's better. The book hasn't got Bogart and Bacall in it. Nor, iirc, anything about whistling.

For Whom The Bell Tolls is pretty good, but not as good as Orwell's Homage to Catalonia, which is far more evocative of civil war Spain.
