Wooow, that’s exactly what I’m into right now, preparing to read Kobo abe and being quite a fan of Murakami. I read Norwegian wood and South of the border….I’ve recently bought Sputnik Sweetheart, but I haven’t read it yet. What I like about Murakami is his combination of apparently lightweight...

Wow Excelent, great, moving, thrilling, stop me because I might get too enthusiastic about it. But I liked it a lot and I think Nicole Kidman is wonderful, she is a real living legend no matter what Lauren Bacall said ( that she is yoo young to be a legend ). At first I was a bit afraid I...

come on, don't take them literally, what is to be appreciated is not the image as such, nor the message after all, but the irony of it. They aim at those people that really know nothing but sensational headlines and television. Of course a real book lover would be apalled by their ideas. But...

Have you ever tried to persuade somebody that reading is such a great pleasure? do you know that there are so many people who think otherwise? How would you imagine an advertising campaign for reading? Here are some nice pictures trying to advertise reading... as pleasant, entertaining...

A poet in my country used to say that a writer should remain faithful to the child he was. To put it more simply, in my case, I'm sometimes remember the child I used to be and behave like a child. Don't get me wrong, I'm not foolish or anything but: 1. I have my favourite cuddly toys, a...

Well Strangely enough, I met people who think reading is a waste of time that gives you a distorted view on reality, that life is harsh reality and people who read might seek refuge from stress and worries in an imaginary world. What do you think about such ideas? :mad: reading is pure...

Difficult If I try hard, sometimes I get out without books, but after leafing many of them for a while, I only get out without deciding what to buy out of respect for my friends who remember that we have other things to do on that day or start staring at the ceiling. This winter holiday I...

I was wondering....do you keep a record of what you're reading? I mean it sometimes happens that you forget many things from a book you read years ago even if you liked it. When I borrow a book and I like something in it very much, a passage, I copy it . I used to keep notebooks of my readings...

resolutions Starting to learn German again, reading more , driving more often cause my car will forget me.......and going to the gym I guess, my every year resolution.

Pulp fiction Am I wrong or pulp fiction is the phrase used for less highbrow literature, commercial literature, books printed in paperback editions, for reading on the train and throwing away when you get to your destination? Well I think commercial literature is to be blamed for using...

A touch of luck I was lucky when I bought the first Coe book, The House of Sleep, it was the last one in the book store, I read it and loved it. Then I read a touch of love, then The Rotters... and loved them. I'm glad someone brought Coe in the forum, he's worth talking about.

One book Fahrenheit 451, definitely, I agree with Cathy C, I thought about this book because it's both interesting for teenagers who love adventure, SF, etc. and it makes them really understand the meaning and importance of books, I don't know if it's telepathy but I had in mind a similar...

Chocolate MMMMM, did you know that chocolate was called the divine drink before it became a bar? Because during fasting periods the priests agreed with it as it was a good and acceptable energizer. Now I've just discovered some delicious caramel biscuits at the shop around the corner but I...

For some time I've been trying to get " Sylvia", a film about the American writer Sylvia Plath, /it seems Gwenyth Paltrow plays very well and is perfect for the role, the film is focused on her relationship with poet Ted Hugues, maybe you know the story. And I've been wondering, how many good...

Have you seen it? Is it any good? Was it worth it to make a sequel for Bridget Jones Diary? Some say it's only good for the fans because they can meet their characters again, but when I read the book I didn't think much of it, I really liked the first film/book but I don't think they should have...

All over again I'll go over it again of course, I don't like to read a book whose characters I forgot, it becomes something confusing. It's like meeting an old aquaintance again, you have to remember something about him/her before you start talking.

Great Wow, funny. I made about 20 faces, with squares, hearts, etc. So funny, now I'll go back and carve some more. happy halloween!

Have you heard this girl 's song? Isn't it simply original that a pop song should refer to Byron and Keats? I like her song and I think the lyrics are funny and interesting, she's singing about inspiration and writer's block in a nice pop song. :o Watch it, every time I watch the video it makes...

Good Question Anastacia- Welcome to my truth, and I'm planning to listen to Dido or Corrs- Borrowed Heaven. ;)

Funny What a funny game to think of. Really, some people's ignorance of literature makes us feel a bit strange, as if we loved a useless thing, with no particular role in real life. Some journalists went undercover once on a tv channel in my country to catch some fake astrologists that...
