I will be. I'm thinking what sort of stuff to put in the review, actually. I was thinking a synopsis, then commenting on the writing ability of the author, the delivery etc and then wrap it all up and maybe put a rating on the end of it.

How does that sound?

Ya id say, you should divy up the rating then avg ir off. Divy it up into important categories like:
Plot
Charcter depth
Writing Style
Reading Pleasure
etc
etc
... somin like that, but i am not sure what off the top my head.

An interesting notion, Myst. I'll bear that in mind.

Hello all!

Has anyone heard/seen that 'The series Of Unfortunate Events' book are being turned into a movie.I was quite excited about this until I realised that 'Jim Carey' was playing Count Olaf (main bad guy) and he usually does comedy and The books are just ment to be weird,but with some 'black comedy' some might say but I have seen movie with Jim Carey where he is not funny at all but this movie(s) shall proove interesting.

Ya, i honestly think he will do a good job. he has proven himself to be able to do comedies and dramas a few times. He is a good actor, plus, he is canadian, so hes got my backing.
He is one of my favs tho, he will do a great job... i hope.

Jim Carey is canadian? Wow.....you learn something new everyday it seems.

Yup, as is, Mike Myers... um...not sure who else. I just know those two because they are hella funny.
Hmm, canadian actors... oh, the girl from 'Girl Next Door' is canadian.. whts her name... i forget... oh... Elisha Cuthbert.
I cant think of anybody else, but i know there are a few more comedians, we got alot of famous comedians here.
Like the girl who wrote that movie... "Mean Girls".. i forget her name, she has a small part i nthe movie too, but she was mainly the writer and producer. She is canadian too.

Canada has more famous people than I first thought.

Name rings a bell....whose it by and whats it about?.

The MAyor of Casterbridge is by Thomas Hardy and is about a man in the late 1800s that selss his wife and daughter to a sailor and then goes off to start a new life after realizing what he had done in his drunken rage.
It is a hard long read, but a decent story at that. Thomas Hardy wrote it over 100 years ago, but his writing style is so amazing. He has to be one of ym favourite writers of al ltime. Amazing the way he words things and depicts them.

Oh ive got something! I have just about finished my first chapter of my book and im quite pleased with it so it should be finish by Sunday night :D Hope you will enjoy

2+2= ?

Does this mean that lord Skeletor is going to post his first chapter on NG? hmm.

That would keep the book club alive for a while.

I'm reading as fast as I can. the book just seems to drag in places, because things crop up in reality and I need to do something about them.

At 12/4/04 05:34 PM, Coop83 wrote: That would keep the book club alive for a while.

Yes, i will enjoy the read. I hope. ; )
I will check in sunday night for sure hoping to find your chapter.
How long has it taken you to write it?
I find one chapter takes me about an hour and a half to write : P
Is that long? I plan out all my chapters b4 i write them tho. Usually they end up different then planned, but i give myself good guidlines.

I wrote chapter 1 in about a month, working with all the spare time I could muster. I have been doing the same on chapter 2 for about 2 months, but have only written a meagre 2000 words.

I blame Christmas, personally. Though I will be getting a lot done, in the new year's week, because I get a mighty 4 days off!!!

That is like gold dust to me!

lol!
I posted chapter 1 of my current novel in the Writer's Guild on page 22 in 3 parts.
Please read it when you have the time and critique if you will. : )

I shall, though I'll leave it until tomorrow, as there is too much Alcohol in my system to be critical at the moment. Do not fear, I will review it for you, Myst.

Maybe I should post my first Chapter on there...?

Did you have any critique on mine?

Well here it is my first chapter! Part1

Chapter One

It all began in a town called Kanthrim where there is a celebration going on.Ovmit and his folowers had just defeated the great deamon Jerrain who had plauged the city for over one hundered years.Ovmit's gang of protectors are called 'The White Blades' and pretty much protect the whole town.The group consists of six warriors Ovmit the young leader excellent with swords,Tailock master with the bow and arrow and eyes like a hawk,Mirian a keen sorceress with more that magic up her sleeve,Tulros an asassin skilled in martial arts and packed with all sorts of traps,Elzix a sly mysterious man who protects and heals the group with enchantment as well as dishing out some pain.And then there is Karlin a quite old be very wise man,no one knows much about him he likes to be kept to himself most of the time.As they go by the stalls and houses people cheer,clap and give thanks for defeating the Deamon.The White Blades enter their hut in the forest of Kanthrim "That was a tough one"Ovmit siad as they were going in the door "I'll say,who would have knew that a deamon would have so many henchmen!" Tulros replied
"Yes but did you notice the five that got away and one of them were carrying a large chest?"said Elzix "Why are you so obsessed with treasure?"Tailock asked "I have you know that I am not obsessed just deeply interested!"Elzix said sternly "Well I wonder whats in there?"Mirian said "The runes of courage... Karlin whispered to himself "What was that Karlin?" Ovmit asked Karlin looks at Ovmit "Oh....nothing" said Karlin "No I want ot know what you said!"Ovmit asked egerly Karlin sighs "Well I belive they are carryimg the runes of courge if you must know" "What are these runes you speak of?" Elzix aksed "All in due time my young Elzix but now I must to bed" Karlin walk into his room and locks the door.
(part two coming up)

Hi could I join this club. I like to read but find very few books I enjoy. Maybe from this crew I will leanr of some good books. I mostly read science fiction and here is some of my favorite books and their authors.

Skellig - David Almond
Kit's Wilderness - David Almond
Shade's Children- Garth Nix
LOTR series - JRR Tolkien
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
The Outsiders- Susan Hinton
The Westing Game- Ellen Raskin

These along with few other are the sum of all the book I have ever enjoyed

Part 2

The next morning Karlin was up early making some tea when Ovmit arose "Morning" Karlin said "Morning Karlin" repiled Ovmit
"Would you like some herbal tea?" Karlin asked "Sure" replied Ovmit.Karlin pours them some tea "So what are these runes?"Ovmit asked whilst siping his tea "Go wake up the others and I shall tell you" replied Karlin.Ovmit knocks on all the door and shouts "Wake up!".The rest of the team get up and sit down at the table "Ok everyone listen to what I have to say,The Runes Of Courage are called that because once you complete the tests you will become the ultimate warrior,afraid of nothing and once you start the tests there is no going back.Now from what I know Jerrian was trying to build an army of unstoppable warriors by using the runes" "Well good thing we killed him" said Mirian "No its not because I fear they have taken the runes to his elder brother the black deamon Solrock in the east who is much stronger" "And that is bad because he might be able to complete these tests right?" Questioned Ovmit "Im afraid so but if we hurray we can get to him before he does" Karlin repiled "How do we know how to get there?" said Tailock "I knoiw a druid named Chrome who should be able to help us,we should go there now" The gang folowed Karlin to a very small house deep in the woods with a stable beside it "Chrome! you there" shouted Karlin A small man appeared from behind the stable "Karlin is that you?" Chrome said in a croaky voice "Yes it is my friend,we need you help" Chrome smiles "Well come inside and have a sit down!" Said Chrome.They go inside and sit down at a long table "We need your help getting to Castle Solrock"Karlin said "Ok would you like me to mend you some horses?" "Yes thank you,I belive that you have a map?" Karlin asked "Indeed I do,here it is"Chrome picks upa large scroll and give it to Karlin "Thank you we will take the horses and we will be off" said Karlin "Thank you Chrome,you have been a great help" Chrome nods,they all say their goodbyes ans ride off to Castle Solrock.

will be difficult to do as it might not be possible for all members to get a hold of certian books.

2)We get one person a month to post a whole book and we read it and post thoughts and comments

possible but that means people having to take time out and write up the whole book. I dont have that much free tiem un fortunalty.

3)We contiue what we are doing now and just post what books we read and say what you liked about and stuff

I prefer this idea and when we finish reading a bookwe do what Coop is gonna do and review using a system.

3 gets my vote.

Ok so that 1 for Number3

Oh did you read my first chapter by the way?
