It's not a sequel no. It's basically about a utopic/dystopic future. If you like her writing style you should read it

Sounds brilliant! I know what Utopia is so is Dystopia the same thing or similar? What does that mean?

Hey FiL. You know that you are a sub? Well could you possibly tell me how many reps ago/ how long ago was it since I last repped you because I want to rep you again but it says that I need to spread some more rep around first.

Yeaahhhhh. I like reading too. Although I hardly ever any more :frown: Not sure why though. I really want Iain M Banks to release a new Sci Fi work!


I've heard of him but I can't say that I've read any of his books.:redface: Are they good? What are they about? Because I really like fantasy and science fiction books. Maybe you don't read anymore because you don't have any time to?:frown: Or because you are on TSr instead?:p: Or because you can't find any motivation to emerse yourself within books anymore?:frown:

Thanks! I definitely prefer a Utopian existence then! Now I can incorporate that idea and word into my stories and poems etc! Have you ever become intrigued how that when you are looking a word up in the dictionary sometimes, and you get diverted by finding other really interesting words and soforth reading their definitions too? I partially think that the words that divert you are special in meaning to you personally for you to read them. Though that's probably just me only.:redface: :biggrin:

Well I think that within 24 hours I should be able to rep you possibly... Argh, if only I had my rep history etc. I am pondering whether I would like to become a sub or not. Not if I could, because I can't.:frown: :redface:

I do that all the time, especailly on wikipedia, clicking from topic to topic. And on my mac laptop there is an in built dictionary where if you docuble click on the word it takes you to that definition, so I can spend ages on that :redface:

Argh, Wikipedia! So interesting and useful! Don't you just love it: All those interesting hyperlinks- one ends up many pages away researching and reading about something far replaced from what one originally started reading about.:p: :biggrin:

How long for? 1 month

Thank-you ever so much!:hugs: I was going to carry on talking to you anyhow!:biggrin: Yes I am happy.:smile: What does being invisible mean? How can I enlargen my avatar? Where's the page in the FAQ telling me what subscribers can do?
http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/faq.php?faq=subs#faq_subspec

Do you have the original of that image? You can upload one up to 100x100 px. I think being invisible means you don't show up on the 'who is online' thing and your light next to your name doesn't go green when you are online.
and you are very welcome :smile:
How do I get this image to 100 times 100 pixels? :http://www.rpdc.tas.gov.au/soer/image/559/ilw/p-platypus_m.jpg

Fil subbed you too. Oh sweet. He's such a lovely fella. :smile:
And to answer your last question, unfortunately, no, I don't think we can; they stay anonymous.
No you can't see anons :smile:
