    I bought a book at the weekend called Dennis - A treasure hunt adventure. It's by Peter Underhill, the creator of The Bad Taste Bears, and the book contains the clues to find a golden bear worth £10,000. Apparantly it's as likely to be won by an intelligent child of ten as it is by a uni prof.

    If anyone knows of an intelligent ten year old could they put me in touch please ......... :(

    Bookwise I thought that 'The Promised Land: Travels in search for the perfect E' by Decca Aitkenhead was a really good read.

    Filmwise, I recommend 'Requiem for a Dream' or 'Crash', they both rocked my socks recently :)

    I thought so.

    Put simply, it's about racism and its different manifestations, and how people sometimes react in ways you don't expect. It is pretty Hollywood, but very good nonetheless.

    Reading David Mitchell - Cloud Atlas. Brilliant book of six short stories, ranging from the 18th century Pacific to a post apocalyptic future, that are all linked together. Very interesting way of telling the story
