Aww shucks folks, you'll make me

I've been reading the Bourne series, Bourne Identity etc. Bit unusual for me in that they aren't sci-fi or fantasy. They're very good, although they can drag in places. The films may as well have been called something else, the plots and the characters are completely different. I'm on the last book now, and it's shaping up nicely

Becks, I've definitely got a sciencey brain, but it still took me a while to get to grips with the stuff when I started doing O-level, and again when I did A-level. For a long time you have all these facts floating around in your head, but eventually you start to form links between them. After a while you get a picture of How Things Work, an understanding. It has loads of gaps but it helps you to remember stuff and work stuff out. But generally it wasn't until the second year that it all started to come together for me.
Then you move up to the next level, degree for example, and find out that the picture you developed was complete pants. That's mainly because you were told a load of over-simplified rubbish because they don't think you can handle the truth, and you have to start again building a new picture.
BTW, back on the subject of books, a mate of mine has just launched a new book-related website. Basically what you do is sign up (for free), add a list (or lists) of your books and then do searches to find people with the same books on
their lists. You can then send them messages to chat about the books.
The only problem is that in order to start a chat you have to be a premium subscriber, which costs £4 per month. Replying to the messages of others is free though, so you could just sign-up for free and wait for someone to send you a message. Just as long as everyone else doesn't do the same thing

It's an interesting idea, thought it might be of interest to you folks. However I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link here, anyone know what the rules are?
