• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I was never told what to read, and nobody ever gave me anything to read. You know the way there are certain books that everybody reads while they're growing up?So what I do is nights when I've got nothing else to do I go to the Pickwick bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard. And I just open
books at random or when I come to a page or a paragraph I like, I buy that book. So last night I bought this one. Is that wrong?
