    Dan Brown

    I don't know about you, but now i'm half in mind to read it,just to know this apprently wonderfull Katherine. A paradox of a woman,dum enough not to reconize latin but a genius when it come to after life mysteries. Maybe she's not a woman but a golden retriver? Damn you.......see,i'm really...

    Alan Weisman: The World Without Us

    They all were good,it was mostly in relation with the title.More an ecological statement,with or without us does not really matter(unless the dubious "we desapear so suddenly their is not time to switch of thing...") The part about Istanbul is scarry.I heard a few times those catastrophic...

    Alan Weisman: The World Without Us

    First i will blame BG for his too good summary of the book.You really make it sound very appealing and so maybe i was expecting too much. My main critic is that it is more a ecological statement of our world today(which is obviously the base of any pronostic) than a real projection of what might...

    Richard Yates: Revolutionary Road

    Fascinating non review Peder. We could start a section with non review about book we shall not read. and music might not like. and film that we are sure we would not be our thing. and country that,from what we heard,are just too bizarre,and foreign. and poeple we'd rather not...

    Bret Easton Ellis

    I liked The Informer(less,less than zero ). Specialy the story fo the vampyre who hate drug in the blood he sucks(a very bad thing in LA). I though it was the best of Ellis,it actually show he could write different things if he wishes. But Unfortunatly he does not,or lost it.

    Per Petterson: Out Stealing Horses

    and i'm looking forward to your review of it.I must say that i still have vivid memories of the book.Time is one of the best adviser on the quality of writing and Out stealing horses still stands out with strong and original images,atmospheres and characteres(specialy the father). Boozes or not.:D

    Inglourious Basterds

    Telling someone to shut it,and expecting praise for it is not what this place made of. If you can't control your temper you should be ready for a bit a waves.

    Recommend Third Crusade fiction

    The crusades through Arabian eyes by Amin Maalouf is non fiction but read very much like a novel.(i read it close to ten times !) He also wrote Samarkand ,about the same period with also a good deal about the secte of the assassin and the old man of the mountain.Excellent too. This also...
