Doolz, cheers for the info I'll take a look at that later. I've got no problem with suspending logic , as to whether I'll understand it is a different matter altogether though ! lol. Great pic by the way, and yep definitely have to have a waffle with ya about the universe at some point
Butty thanks a lot, definitely owe you many drinks !
The film I want to go and see is called "What the bleep do we know!!??" it's only on for 2 days and only at UCI cinemas in September, looks really good.

I just finished an amazing book called 'The Lovely Bones'. Its the story of a 14 year old grl who is sexualy assaulted and then murderd, but she goes to heaven (yeah i know too there is no such place, but hey it makes a great story) and looks down at her family as they try to cope. When i read the opening para, i really got a horrible beating heart when she describes what it feels like to be killed, i must admit i got a little upset. But after that its more bittersweet than morbid.
Deffo one of the best books i have ever read, it has huge acclaim and accolades galore. Get it!

superdan said:at the moment i'm reading 'the celestine prophecy'
i'm not normally the reading type but vee gave it me to read and it's well good.
its about an old manuscript found in peru which has nine insights into life and why we are here
quality read!!!
I'm reading that at the mo too, it's well good aint it
nah m8 not at all
no good at maths tbh
but these books arnt only maths and equations theyre written for the layman(bit like watchng equinox in a book) most of the books contain alot of history about how things were discovered and analogys describing the theorys
jus find it fascinating
science fact is far more weird than science fiction

I read this whilst away on holiday, I have to say..... what a quality book!!! I liked the little twists in it which keep u interested..... it really is a book u dnt wana put down!
I tell U what else I read on holiday...... like to read while I'm away and read 4 books!!!!! Apart from reading "The Lovely Bones" I read....
GANGS- its about a guy that writes about different aspects of gangland Britain, he writes chapters on heroin, cocaine, people smuggling, synthetic drugs, kidnap etc etc. Its fascinating as he gets in with all these ppl who are in the heart of it all and they all tell him the ins and outs of eveythin, very good read!
"The Lost Boy" and "A Man Named Dave"- These are the 2nd and 3rd part to this guys life story (sort of Autobiographies if u like) of thi guy who was badly abused as a child and got rescued. These are the tales of him in foster care finding out who he is and him as an adult (A Man named Dave). They (and the first book, "A child called 'it'" are truely movin books, I cried and some of the stuff this guy goes through is truely heart-wrenching but they are so well written and definately worth a read!!! read the last 2 books in a day each!!!

I've read the "child called it" trilogy and they were really harrowing to think that a boy can go through all that but I don't think he put himself across as a victim at all, I think he just gave a factual account of his life.
I finished the Da Vinci Code, went out and bought all the other Dan Brown books and I'm not reading them all!!!
Cheers Amelie - I'll have a look at that book about the little girl, it sounds really interesting.
Doolz - not sure I'm really ready for the world of quantam physics mate - it's all a bit beyond me :S
