Sure are a lot of fantasy/sci-fi lovers here... Which is definately a good thing in my view

Everyone, been trying to remember for days the name of this book, The Magus by John Fowles who also wrote The Collector. Get it and read it, you won't be disappointed!

Also, The Secret Language of Birthdays. This book rocks and is 99.9% accurate. So I want to know everyone's birthdate so I can look the date up in the book and check out what type of person you are
