I don't know if it the best line, but it certainly stuck in my mind... "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in a possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." The opening line of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Another good one is Dickens' Two...

I saw an interview with PJ the other day. He would mind doing The Hobbit, but apparently they need to negotiate film rights first. New Line Cinema does not own the right to The Hobbit. PJ said, that he would find it strange if someone else did it. Hobitten

I read "Blindness a couple of months ago". I find it wonderful and enthralling and terrifying. Scary to see how low a human being can sink. Once you get used to his looong paragraphs with almost no dots, Saramago is wonderful to read. I can also recommend "Baltazar and Blimunda". A...

Saw it yesterday. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I have no reservations about the movie(s). The battle scenes were exhilerating, The Oliphants magnificent. If you do not suffer from arachnophobia, there is a good chance you will, after meeting Shelop. The best part, and what I have been curious to see...

Hi Phil. Sorry, but my logon-name is Hobitten, not Hobitton. "Hobitten" means "the hobbit" in Danish. Hobitten

I have read several of Dickens novels: David Copperfield and Great Expectations being among my favorites. I read my first Dickens 4-5 years ago, until then I had only known the stories through TV-adaptions. I am Danish, so reading Dickens was not included in my obligatory childhood school...

My top 5 reads (in no particular order): Tolkien: Lord of the rings trilogy. Austen: Pride and prejudice Follett: The Pillars of the Earth Ib Michael: Kejserens Atlas (The emperor's atlas) Jan Guillou: Arn-trilogy

:confused: I was rooting around in the library section, and came across one of the best reads I have had this year. Ken Follett's The Pillars of Faith. I took the opportunity to review it. Why is it categorized in the crime, thrillers and mystery section? I know, that Ken Follett...

Thanks anyway, It went well. Just passed/not-passed. I passed. Hobitten

That's right, Andy Serkis. Thanks. I have an exam this morning, so I'd better get cracking... Hobitten

Lucky you!!! Then you can tell me if it lives up to your expectations. Last night was the Gala premiere in Copenhagen, with all the celebraties of this country - including our queen and most of the royal family. The queen is a huge fan. Some 20 years ago she illustrated an edition of the...

Thank you for your warm welcome. I have a lot of favorite genres: Classics (Danish and English/American), British detective novels, modern Scandinavian literature like Ib Michael, Jan Guillou, Peter Høgh and others. Right now I am in the middle of my annual read of Tolkien, the trilogy of...

I have just joined minutes ago. Looking forward to get to know you. :D
