Ok. Just to let everyone know, this forum has been designated the place to post your movie & music stuff. There's been interest here and there about movies and music, but here's the place where you can post it to your heart's content!
All of the older threads in Chit Chat/The Lounge have been moved over here for future reference.
Cheers

Best book recommendation ever...
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. There are 6 total (5 out already), and they're all really long. The story takes place during the 18th century, starting with the 2nd Jacobite uprising and the Battle of Culloden through to the American Revolution. there's a bit of time travel, a lot of history and a great love story.
I guarantee you'll fall in love with Jamie midway through the first book.

Quoting
I am reading "The Firey Cross" right now, and I absolutely agree that this is a fabulous series. I just hate when books are so big that my hands hurt trying to hold the book open...
