I'm irritated by the COLD weather ... I had hoped for a nice warm fall, but yesterday we had to switch on the heating :(

Where do you buy the majority of your books from? Book shops Do you regularly order? No How long would you expect to wait when you order? 2-5 days How much impact to blogs and word of mouth influences you in buying books? Quite a lot. How do you decide what books to buy? Browsing...

I'm not sure if you've heard the original German-Austrian stuff before ... it's not only yodelling, partly it's just stupid music with even more stupid lyrics (gruesome, truly ...)

Apart from a few Harry Potter scenes, I really laughed out loud when reading "Owen Meany" by John Irving and "Making History" by Stephen Fry. The audio version of "Life of Pi" is not bad either.

Coffee :D Letters or e-mails?

My boyfriend just can't remember the lyrics and only talks of the "toes in my nose" song :D

I read them both and liked "Da Vinci Code" better. The "A&D" end was rather Hollywoodian ...

I'm rather open when it comes to music - the only genres I really don't like are rap, hip-hop and jazz. And German "volksmusik" (yodelling and the like ...)

No, I actually didn't ... my name derives from Harry's owl ;)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him! My father had the same ten years ago and, luckily, made a full recovery. Hope the same is true for your dad!

I'm at Elinor's house, just about to try and read myself and Farid into the Inkworld.

I've got a few soundtrack albums, but honestly I don't listen to them a lot. What I really like are the Forrest Gump and Kill Bill soundtracks.

Opera (or make that a classical concert without singing ...) Your favourite song at the moment?

Oh, yes, that has happened to me quite a few times. Let's see whom I remember ... Gilbert Blythe (from the Anne series) Harry and James Potter Simon St. James (from the Lynley & Havers mysteries) Plus many others I just can't think of at the moment...

The only book I quit so far this year was "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton. That unearthly, stunningly beautiful woman ... eeeeek ... and I never had such a bad impression of his style of writing.

Roller skate (if any). Do you buy organic groceries?

Ah, so it will be published after all. Thanks for the info, Stewart! The book is said to be rather trite, but I also think it should be left to readers to decide about the work's quality.

Yael Naim - New Soul

My first computer was a 486 by IBM, back in 1994. My first trip to the Web must have been in '99, to the website of my favourite radio station: Bayern 3
