On the one hand, Harry Potter is very popular here, in Russia. On the other I know at least 3 different parodies and 1 of them is much better than the original. It is written for elder people

Shall I rate my friends' advice as reviews? Author + the opinion of a person whose tastes I know is important fo me. And cover + art don't mean anything for me cause I read most books on palm pc, not hard copies.

You speak here about listening to books on the phone and I read people discussing READING books on the phone like we read them on palm pc. I think it terribly uncomfortable but some of them really do it. Brrrr!

You're welcome! :)))) You see I'mvery interested in the topic, cause we came across the same problem at my native forum "Kubikus' Archive" (www.kubikus.ru), where I used to be a moderator. But there were more people then.. and now I observe one more sci-fi Russian forum trying to develop in...

I'd never thought that different parts of xerox (especially cartridges) are so popular in loosing!

On general, you're right, what means is the quality of the text.

Mr. DDestructo, hmmm... yes it was the the problem. That was why I turned to the Internet and looked for sci-fi forums. I was fortunate to find one and it appeared that a number of people visiting it live in my city. Since then we meet once or twice a month and change our books ))

Maybe I'm wrong, I've spent too little time here to give advice... but I guess the structure itself is a bit difficult for new-comers? I've seen so many threads dedicated to a some small item which is not very well known to everyone? Have you got any general topic interesting to everybody? - I'm...

I read her Chalion, but I must say that the Forcosigan series impressed me more, so I'd agree with the author ;)

very interesting this list isn't it? I also came across - 100 Things I would Do if I Were a Black Evil Sovereign & - Small Typical Set for Those Who Want to Create a Fantasy Story They are humorous ones as you may guess... oh, there's also "How to Survive in Horror Movies" with phrases like...

Thank you very much! :) What a nice tradition - so that novices don't feel lost in a vast field of topics. Ж) The structure of your forum is a different from those I like to visit, so I'll try to do my best to know it better soon.

It's quite popular in Russia. You can imagine how it is terribly difficult for translation! I can't say, I'm a fan, just read some. Didn't like the series about witches and my favourite are "Mort" and "Watch! Watch!"... What do you think about "Strata"?

and 8 of top-10 are fantasy, not sci-fi. Would you say anything to the fact? By the way, who is Pierce, Tamora?Never heard such a name.

I used to read every book I had started to the very end, but now that I undestood that I just loose time instead of reading something that really could fit me I gave up. If I find the book bad I usually try to read it for about 50-100 pages... I can't remember any at the moment, most of them...

Well, yes, books usually tend to capture all free space around you. That's why i prefer to take them from my friends' bookcases :) though now i think i'm close to solve the problem: i get all the books i don't need anymore to one of my friends's office. :) Sorry if my English or spelling is...
