^Thank you Ptolemy123 for explaining youself, i just wanted to make sure i was getting insulted.

If you don't like her that's fine, i have no problem with that. Bashing books isn't the greatest idea but if you want to that's fine. By the way Ptolemy there would be a Barti hate club if it had enough people reading it, all popular things do but this didn't become AS popular = not much haters.

Always glad to help.

I'm supposed to be starting Ptolemy's Gate, but all copies were checked out.

And where exactly do you live?

Amazon is your friend :)

Provided you are old enough for a credit card... Bleh.

Just ask your parents really nicely. Preferably while holding the equivalent in cash.

There's also the small matter that my father belives that Credit Cards are demonic and only uses cash... >...<

well that is annoying - mind you my mum and dad don't like doing for me but dad is happy to buy loads of books and reggae CD's when he wants

What about debit cards, Post?

Any one read/seen the "Books of useless Information" ?

Just a book full of random facts:


Just looking at the London section so here we go:

"More of the London Underground is open than in a tunnel" :o

"Gladstone and Dr Barnado were the only people to ever have their coffins transported by tube"

"More people have died jumping from the monument for the great fire of London, than in the fire itself."

"The Jubilee Line Extension was the most expensive railway line ever built. it cost £173 Million...per Kilometre"

"Oxford street, the busiest shopping centre in Europe has a turnover of over £5 Billion a year"

"There are over 300 languages spoken in the greater London area, almost half of Britains Ethnic minorities live there."



Ways to go:

"Amusement-Park attendance goes up after a fatal accident"

"Atilla the Hun, bled to death because of a nose-bleed."

"Last person to die in the tower of London was a german spy in 1941"

"Every day 259,200 people die"

"Second hand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals including more than 40 cancer causing compounds"



I could go on, but this book is bloody huge

"Atilla the Hun died of Nose bleed"?

Yeah, on his wedding night.

I got the best book of usesless information :P

@Post, yeah on his wedding night, poor bloke.


"A man in Dallas, spent his entire life savings- $22,000 on 6000 seats for people to see The Passion Of The Christ, because he believes it will "change" America."

"If you were to count off a billion seconds, it would take 31.7 years"

Ah, the insanity...

I don't usually have time to read, and when I do, I read other things. But as of right now, I'm reading Pride and Prejudice. In school, I'm reading The Scarlet Letter, which is boring me to death.

Just finished re-reading "Morgawr" and am now finally reading "The Penultimate Peril".

I'm happy to see that this thread didn't die out. Too bad I've been too distracted to keep up with it. =/

Im reading the Wheel of time
