Now reading...

"1984" was worse... for me it was much more depressing than this book... but both of them are well written

[Sigvarthdottir]

Diálogo de Vultos by Fernando Ribeiro ..
well, the only problem is..that I can´t speak portugese well.. but..who cares? 

[deathdancer]

A friend gave me a book... It's printed from net. He didn't give me the title page so I don't know what I'm reading, he will tell me when I read it all 

[saphira]

Again reading..Tracy Chevalier : Girl with a pearl earring and  also just started F. Dürrenmatt : Die Physiker(the last, 4th book for matura exams)

[Persephone]

I adore that book about the painting! Well I love all Johannes Vermeer's paintings!
I have read the book many times and movie + soundrack I bought both (unfortunatelly the soundtrack has someone else - she lost the cd)...

Jack London's "The Star Rover".

I know I should read some books for my studies but these are not possible to read in the public traffic. So I always read something non-study in public traffic (further only MHD). This book was recommended to me years ago. Today I finally got it and it seems very great to me.

[The One]

Just finished the memoir "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Winner.
I almost cried while reading it.

After all Your words You told me about the book - it seems very good to me but exactly not much good for my hyper-sensitive soul

It has quite a few very strong parts, like when the Nazis are executing people...
Not a book for people with heart problems or sensitive souls.

I finished Castaneda's A separate reality - Further conversations with don Juan. I read it in English and it was quite difficult, I didn't understand it fully... I have to read it again or find it in Hungarian.

Right now I'm reading Anna and the king of Siam by Margaret Landon, in Hungarian. Anna and the king is one of my favourite movies... I'm curious to see if I will like the book better, as always, or the film.

[Persephone]

I think that reading in Hungarian will be much better I am sure I could not understand much if I read Castaneda in English

Anna and the King (: I loved that movie. I had it on videocassete but as I do not have a tv anymore I do not use the vidorecorder either.
I think that better would be if You read the book before seeing the movie cause the fantasy has much more space than but - I understand not always it is possible to read a book before seeing a movie.

I think the book will be better as usual. But the movie is great also especially Jodie Foster...


The Star Rover I read now is simply great book. Very good. I think soon it will near the top of my favourite books.

Reading Hamlet.
I was going through my books yesterday and I found this book with some Shakespeare's tragedies and the Hamlet is I think the first tragedy on the list so I started reading it even though it was not my intention to actually read the whole thing...I was only planning on going through the book, just to see...to remember...but I ended up reading the half of Hamlet...didn't get to anything else ...so now I have to finish it

[saphira]

Hey Hamlet is the best book on this earth!  I love it!
Now I'm reading all the four books I need tomorrow for my slovene matura exam-essay..boring..except..Tartuffe..well and maybe Die Physiker..

Reading Hamlet.

What Bart Simpson said for Hamlet: "All characters dead and the play is boring... only Shakespeare could do that!"

Btw, I like Shakespeare. Misti I recommend you to read "Titus Andronicus". If you liked Sweeney Todd and that South Park episode "Scott Tenorman must die" you'll definitely like Titus Andronicus too.

Titus Andronicus may be Shakespeare's earliest tragedy, believed written sometime between 1584 and the early 1590s. The play is by far Shakespeare's bloodiest work. The play lost popularity during the Victorian era because of its gore, and has only recently begun to revive its fortunes.

[Mystique]

I love Shakespeare...but unfortunately I own only Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and King Lear...also read A Midsummer's night dream (which is btw my all time favourite)

Misti I recommend you to read "Titus Andronicus". If you liked Sweeney Todd and that South Park episode "Scott Tenorman must die" you'll definitely like Titus Andronicus too.

Yes, I've heard about it, but I never knew these details

I must say you got me pretty intrigued so I'll make sure to borrow it from the library...

I really liked this book, but I prefer from Journey to Ixtlan and the next ones , because in the 2 firsts books the allucinogen theme is very strong and that is not so "funky" for me. I prefer the path of the warrior theme

[Persephone]

I also not so much for hallucinogens so I think from 3rd book it is better. But I liked to read the previous ones to - just to be in picture

[The One]

"Of Mice and Men", the last book in my English curriculum this year.

Actually, I liked those parts too... And especially the parts connected to water.
