    People's characteristitics

    Usually I am not a stickler, but some months back Danish Television showed the Inspector Lynley series (TV adaption of Elizabeth George's crime novels - which I love dearly). I bothered me quite a bit, that in stead of being tall, blond, brown eyed, extremely - almost classical - handsome...

    Scariest Book Ever?

    Oh Gee, :confused: I don't think I can remember. Somehow I think that he was "transported" into another world - the alien world. But please correct me if I am wrong. It's been ages.... :confused: :confused: :confused:

    And the winner is ...

    Me too!!! If there is any justice left in this world, I think Peter Jackson should get one for the whole trilogy, if not for The Return of the King. I saw it for the second time, the other day. Even better the second time.... Hobitten :)

    Book Crossing - Recycling books 'into the wild'

    It was Bookcrossing that led me to The Book Forum, funny enough. It's a great idea - and a great site. :) I do find it difficult, however, to part with any of my books.:( Maybe I'd start buying second copies. Hobitten:rolleyes:

    the hours

    I saw the book early summer last year. read the Mrs. Dalloway during my summer holls. Took a bit of getting into, but once I was there I was hooked. I loved it! "A long stream of consciousness..." Indeed it is! Hobitten

    Scariest Book Ever?

    Insomnia by Stephen King. I read it several years back, and every time I can't sleep at night, I think of it. Maybe some alien is slowly taking over my mind.... :eek: Last time that happened was last night. Woke up at 2.30 am for no reason at all. It took me a long time to fall asleep...

    Helen Fielding: Bridget Jones's Diary

    I thoroughly enjoyed both the book(s) and the film. I did find it somewhat disturbing that - mostly in the film - Bridget was portrayed as a slightly ignorant, shallow and uninformed young woman. She doesn't deserve that. And it makes it a little bit hard to understand what Mark Darcy sees in...

    Classic Books

    I am an avid reader of classic novels, which (for the English languaged part) I first discovered about five years ago. Not that I did not know of the authors, but I had not read them. It was not an integrated part of the curriculum in a Danish school girls life. We had our own. I am...

    What do you use as a bookmark?

    I would never ever-ever-ever fold corners. It's almost sacrilege!!! :mad: :eek: I learned this from a very early age. Our neighbour across the street (when I was a kid) was a teacher, librarian and book lover. He taught me the ethics of reading. I usually use old train tickets. I...

    J.D. Salinger: The Catcher In The Rye

    I am reading The Catcher in the Rye (J.D.Sallinger) at the moment. I have not finished it yet, but I am well underway. Being Danish this book is not exactly included in the mandatory reads of my youth (and life). I came across it a few years back, have to. I do not have much in common with a...
