Just to clear up the thing about The Curious Incident (if anybody's interested), it's one of those books that can be enjoyed by adults or mature children (teens). It most definitely isn't meant for young children - despite the simple style it's not a 'simple' book, and there's plenty of swearing and stuff in it.
For some reason the publishers decided to print what they called an 'adult edition' and a 'children's edition', but the only difference between the 2 is the cover design - inside they're indentical. So that was a complete waste of time.
I'm now worried that people are gonna read The Time Traveller's Wife and think it's rubbish, and I'm gonna end up looking like a goon.
And notice I spell traveller with double l, not traveler as it appears in the book. Bloody Americans.

They do that with the Harry Potter books too, and also His Dark Materials. It's harder to notice that you're a big guy reading a kiddie's book that way

Plus it means they can put a prompt on the till saying 'Warning: bad language in this book' in a big, red box. Fun.
It's supposed to be amazingly correct though. Mum works with autistic kids and I think she met Mark Haddon through this, who doesn't have any family ties to anyone with aspergers, except for a friend's child, or something that's not too close. She was saying that it's unebelievably realistic and highly impressive for someone without a close family member with aspergers.
I started reading it, then the book was stolen from me as Mum was lending it round her entire work So I haven't had a chance to read it again yet 
Muhosity.
Gaz- I started The Time Traveller's Wife yesterday and so far it seems a damn good recommendation (through all... 50 or so pages I've read so far)

Wow, people are actually agreeing with me... This doesn't happen very often so I'm going to savour the moment!

Is this a highly contested mantle? I have to admit that 'fairy erotica' is not a genre I'm overly familiar with.
Oh Tinkerbell, what a big wand you have... *DROOL*

Steve-Dave:
Better the devil you know, though. How many of the sensible people would ever vote for Romney?
Walt Flanagan:
They're going to be non-votes, not votes for Barack.
Steve-Dave:
I doubt it. I'd say that with some of the stuff Romney will come out, people could vote Barack just to prevent Romney getting in.
Walt Flanagan:
Well, he's so clearly a terrible human being.
Walt Flanagan:
He's going to gaff his way out of the White House, even as the President is hated from all the sides of the spectrum that aren't starry eyed.
Walt Flanagan:
The GOP has gone too far towards the Stupid Bigot side of things, it may take years to get back.
Walt Flanagan:
I just think people who say that Obama would have to f*ck a white woman on television to not get elected are missing the danger.
Steve-Dave:
Oh I think Romney will still give Obama a run for his money. Romney flip-flops a lot. Could appeal to a wide enough base overall to run it close
oatibix:
Something's happened here.
Steve-Dave:
This is what happens when you leave Colin.
Steve-Dave:
And I don't mean "This is what happens when you leave, Colin", I mean this is what happens when you leave Colin. I left Colin and became all sensible and sh*t
Steve-Dave:
I'm an equivocating motherf*cker
Rayanne Graff:
Yeah, you're sh*t. i'm not sure about sensible, though.
Jimmy:
Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave:
Everything's better!
Puffalump:
Barrier
Steve-Dave:
The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy:
I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave:
Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave:
It takes like... £13
