1) Nothing, only a cup of coffee at work 2) I don't care. The main thing is I don't have to prepare it by myself. I need a lot of time to wake up ... In Germany this phenomenon is called "Morgenmuffel" :D is there a similar word in english?

Maybe this happend because Anne's House of Dreams isn't the first book of the series. It's useful to read the Anne books in order. Here is the first one: Anne of Green Gables at gutenberg.org

Lucy Maud Montgomery is one of my favorite Authors. When I was a child I saw the TV Series starring Megan Follows. Then my mother bought a german copy of "Anne of Green Gables" for me. I've read this book a thousand times ;). Later I got all translated copys of the Anne Series, which doesn't...

A little question: Was The Shadow of the Wind originally written in english or in spain? If it wasn't english I probably will buy the german version.

My avatar shows a character of Walter Moers's book "The City of Dreaming Books". It's a "Buchling". I don't know how to translate this into english, maybe will "Booky" work. A "Buchling" is a little creature who has read every book of "his" author. I chose this avatar because I love books...

I wish! No, I'm 27, but I'm writing a lot every day.

Nice game. :) I got to level 6, score 51 btw... what does "wpm" mean? Words per minute? In school, I typed 180 Letters per minute. I had the last typing test 10 years ago, so I've no idea how fast I'm now.

Only three? That's pretty difficult! - Guns 'n' Roses: November Rain - Robbie Williams: Me and my Monkey - Die Ärzte: Mach' die Augen zu

I like the books of Walter Moers very much and can't wait for the next one. The Books about "Zamonia" are wonderful and very funny. "A Wild Ride Through the Night" is based on 21 drawings from the work of Gustave Dore and is also great. My favourite so far is "The City of Dreaming Books"...
