I know, Peder. Just how distracted have I been? :eek: ;)
Peder, you are fantastic! :D
Yay, four weeks. If there is a thread then this lot have no excuse! Enjoy Ada, it's tough but rewarding.

(That's six, I know.)
Please don't make me search through 150 pages of posts to find the exact author and statement you are referring to here, Peder. It was very interesting, and we had a lengthy discussion on the actual terms the author used, but I can't recall either.
Oh, I'm going to, aren't I? :eek:
:D...
Wow, I just changed my wallpaper three times whilst reading this one thread (and I had naked men washing a car prior to this ;) ). Wow, Pontalba, those are lovely.
Still, I know what you mean, you're right, of course.
Oh well he might have to do then. ;)
That sounds familiar. :D
I can say enough good things about this book fairy of yours. Want to send her over this way? ;)
:D
Aside from threads that are typically expected to contain images, I love to see images in certain discussions, such as the Nabokov ones. With 150 pages of posts we need something to provide a bit of relief from all the insightful conversation that is going on. ;)
Sofia, I was gonna say I have your tattoo pic saved (you must have known I'd save it) and would post it for you, but I guess I got here too late ;)
I've got a tattoo, and regret it tremendously. They hurt, and a lot. Ouch.
Oh, but as to the fading thing. When I got mine (about six years...
:D
Where is Still, by the way, I thought she might've joined our party... and given Halo back her signature.
Ah, I didn't say he wouldn't do! But okay, you have him Pontalba. I'm getting ready for our next victim. ;)
How old is SK, by the way?
It's um... true though! :D
I love...
Don't waste your time trying to point out the basic courteous English usage expectations of the majority of users on this forum, for your posts will be deleted without explanation.
For what it's worth, I agree entirely. Threads like these are "whacker" than any of the books mentioned in them.
I know exactly what you mean about Glory, Pontalba. I'm hoping to feel the same (when I eventually find it and get back to it).
And Sebastian Knight, yes! I have that and will start it tonight to join in with the discussion. Sorry about that temporary memory problem, how could I forget the...
It most likely is a short story, Pontalba. It's a collection of "pocket" books brought out by Penguin to celebrate their 70th birthday. I have bought a few now, and two I have just fetched are The Great Wall of China by Franz Kafka and Caligula by Robert Graves. Both are only 56 pages long...
Ditto to what the others have said, Pontalba (oft seen inside 'a Nab plot', hehe, sorry, just so proud of that, you chose that name on purpose, didn't you? ;) ), great avatar! And signature. I want Laughter in the Dark. Must have, must have!
