Picked up this snippet from the BBC Click 'Ere

For non UK 'Catters Mills & Boon are "slushy" romances.

Now what would be the your favorite books or recordings to pack under a motorway/freeway etc. ?

Any Harlequin romance.
A few 'religious' works I won't name.

Our daily paper, The Sault Star.

Worst rag in the history of journalism: screwed up facts, lousy editing, typos and spelling mistakes, misspelled names, stories cut off mid-sentence because the required space in the column was filled, printer misalignments and dropped colours on the colour pictures galore...

EP: You are a vegan. Wanna eat them? I'm kidding. They are too much for me--however, I know they are great books. I simply mean I will never again read any of them, again.

I don't think I'll ever stop reading them! Especially GWTW. Please tell me you like the movie at least? And right now I'm in love with the Brontes' poetry.... brilliant stuff!

Just out of curiosity - and I've seen this in a number of places - what does four question marks signify? Why does one ever need more that one question mark or exclamation point?

I don't know about here... but normally the number of question marks/exclamation marks I use kind of shows the tone in which I'd ask the question/state the statement :-). Like 'what?' and 'what???' are obviously different!

EP, OK, the movie was OK. I gotta ask: Did you like "The Horse Whisperer"? I'm betting with myself you say yes. I wanted to sleep instead of watch. I guess watching Redford is feast or famine for me. "A River Runs Through It" did the same. But, in that one I did fall asleep.

Haven't seen 'A River Runs Through it'... but you're right - I loved 'The Horse Whisperer'. Difference in our tastes I guess. What do you like then? You don't seem to like anything *good*. :-)
