    Last seen...

    Just came back from seeing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (finally). I liked it but a couple of things left me just a bit :confused: . I don't know, I guess that's what happens when you've read the books (several times) and sort of expect things to happen and then feel disappointed when...

    Help Wanted for an Olympic Challenge

    Ok, maybe you are looking for stuff that's more "off the beaten track" but I've noticed most people tend to forget Belgium altogether so I'll recommend Amélie Nothomb's "Fear and Trembling" or "The Character of Rain". I don't know any Flemish writers, sorry! Unless we're taking into account...

    books in English that MUST be read

    And from what I've heard, they are very expensive, too. According to a friend, when the new HP came out, the Fnac in Spain was the only major bookstore selling it full price so she ended up getting it from amazon uk. Much cheaper, even with s&h. Anyway, have fun reading GE and Feliz Navidad!

    It is quite different from the accent I am used to but (and this might be because I recently watched Les Invasions Barbares) I think it's charming. Ok, my turn! So, does anyone know what "Venezuela" means and how the country got its name? Joyeux Noël everyone!

    How do you pronounce Dostoeyesky?

    Really? Does this happen only in English speaking countries or any country where the main language isn't Spanish (or Portuguese)? I know in France (at least at the FNAC) García Márquez is under G and Vargas Llosa under V. Back to the pronunciation of D..., what's the standard spelling of the...

    Usernames!!!! How did you get yours?

    I was trying to understand what it was that made my ex such a huge pain in the neck and along came this Alanis Morissette song and I just went "That's it, it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor!"
