i also think that digital fortress was one of Dan Brwon's weakest books...the plot, the characters, the relationships didnt work out well...
im not so good in codes and such things like programming. but i believe what you are saying. nobody has to be perfect but to tell the world that he doesnt understand much of those things in writing a book is a bit too much... and not really understandable.

to harry potter..yupp!!!!! for me the prisoner of askaban and the order of phoenix were stretching everything to an unordinary length. The whole plot of both of them could have been told in 100 pages. but rowling really is an amazing story teller so we will forgive her
but i didnt like the ed of voldi... you have to think about it how stupid it is. they were fighting for whole 7 volumes against voldemort (more his plans) and the great final fight was ...soo weird. i expected more of the great voldemort. for me he could have died in a more handsome way. maybe hyde can show him how to do it (puffy 1998 paraody)

now you've really made me curious with your talking about Harry Potter ..... how's the series gonna end...... would someone tell me of the fight??
because I have absolutely no time for reading Potter myself.

you will have to take the time, its no fun otherwise

i know now you look like that


Back to topic:
I stopped reading Potter for a while because I found the book "Cloud of Sparrows" from Takashi Matsuoka in like the hundrets bookshop in London I went to

everybody who would like to know why I read this book should try to translate my nickname in to english

XD... there are other ways to get the information, ne~

just wanted to share my new reading - it's a rather old book by Nick Hornby: "High fidelity"
does anyone know the book, or the movie??
well... it's just so funny to read it.... to read what's going on in a guys mind concerning women
I can't stop reading it, after two days I've read 250 of the 310 pages.....

my book is turning into a flop T__T

it was so good to read first and it is still like that > BUT now it all turned out to be something against the institution church and the fight between jesus christ and the antichrist T___T

will borrow suzume's book XD i guess i have a lot of things to read for you with yur arrival. it depends on amazon. detective conan vol 51 was brought by me (ME!!!) to your place. and fma vol 14 and bleach vol 20 will maybe follow. however, i think they will be here until saturday. and your card arrived

I guess you already have this book steffi
but just in German ("Die Stunde des Samurai" or sth like this^^)
Its realy good style in english I love it

The book you read at the moment seems to be one of those Dan Brown immitators


I guess I will have to finish it quickly, otherwise I willl get buried under books and TV-Shows

And I have to watch the old Star Wars Films (Hope I didnt delete them), because I've been to the Star Wars Exhibition here in London and now i'm curios watching them

finally i finished this horrible book T___T
two horrible books at once...

but i think 12 kingdoms will be much better... i enjoyed the anime very much years ago. so i guess i will also enjoy the books.

I can feel your pain steffibj Reading a horrible book is worse than watching a horrible movie. AFter reading bad books, i just kept pondering on how the story should have been and I can't keep it out of my head even if I tried to. I would then complain about it for days until there's something good to get me out of it.

I was reading this horror story called "The Ruins". It's supposed to be scary and mysterious but it turns out to be more gruesome and gorish. It just sucked all the happiness out of me. I couldn't even finish the book because it was too much.

XDD".... I wanted to read Murphy's Law lately.... have that in my book shelf since.. can't remember
but
when I started reading everything thing seemed so familiar..... until I finally realized, I've read that one before..... T________T....... I was so glad I had another interesting book to read in my collection.... but no.... I've already read it.

now I don't know what to read next..... any recomendations???
I'm even willing to buy a new one!

what kind of books do you prefer to read???

hum well........ actually my interest is kinda broad....
I can only tell I don't really like science fiction

hum.... well...... I used to like thrillers......
but with university where I had to read all kinds of books my interest broadened
so.... (almost) anything goes

hmm.... i can tell what i like but i dunno ... ok i really liked the short stories of Roald Dahl. actually he has written a lot of books for kids but if you ask me the short stories are a bit... let me say it this way i wouldnt pass all his short stories to a little kid. if you want i can lend it to you because it cost me 30 euro back then and i dunno if it is still available. it was a birthday present of the parents of my boyfriend. XD *chus to thocchan* some of his short stories are available on the net and you can read them for free.

i also like laura joh rowland's books... thriller/crime and japan in one XD but there are already 10 volumes available here in germany...

btw the short stories of dahl are only in english.... XD

^^ I know Roald Dahl... at least some of his stories...
thanx for the idea with lending the book, but then you won't get it back before next year ^^...........

but the other thing with Laura Joh Rowland sounds interesting... see if I can get something on Amazon

and.... English shouldn't be a problem
and when it comes to books..... the price doesn't matter for me..... bookaholic XDDDDD"

i see, my version of the short stories book (all his short stories were included in it) isnt available anymore... just have taken a look onto amazon... he is so amazing.

so thanx for your recomendation steffi ^^
I ordered the first book by Laura J. Rowland yesterday..... together with another one by Sujata Massey, it's called "Bittere Mandelblüten" in German....... goes in the same direction of a crime story, but in our days.

and now I have to wait for the books, because the one by Rowland will only be shipped from Friday on.... T__________T

@ ophellia
what is this book "ruins" about??? would you suggest it???
as jeryn im need new books ( having a lot of time while driving to work)

@ jeryn
im currently reading dahl but i cannot read it so often it makes depressive. i have lots of fun reading the whole short stories but it really puts you down. dunno why... when i will have finished it i will send it to your place in madrid

well..... XD I found another book today, so now I have 3 to read
it's called "Der Weltensammler" by Ilija Trojanow, it's about the English discoverer Richard Burton - and it sounds so goooood.... oh I'm so excited. ^^*

so @ steffi: take your time reading Dahl

you are even worse than me XD

we are book freaks *___*

I want to have your problem not to know what to read.

At the Moments I've got hundreds of mangas to read (Conan, Bleach...) and I haven't yet finished cloud of sparrows T__T

And then there are comics wich are send every month to my and I didn't even have a look on them!

Better I stop doing everything except reading

since the site is done, i think, you will have more time to read some stuff.

and im not the one to blame dont worry when you need more time for reading the books i have given to you. next month bleach volume 21 and conan 52 will follow XD

i guess you feel like I do with our projects. Instead of getting less to do the list is growing
