yeah....... read more!!!!...... reading is fun.............
serious irony intended
I just started reading a book for class - or better, a book I should read for an exam next week.... and it is sooooo absolutely boring..... I've read 40 pages so far... and nothing, really nothing happened..... just explanation of the main characters........

oooohhh, how I hate realistic/ naturalistic spanish novels....................
but the good thing is.... one book less of my mountain XDDD"
still at least 4 to go.... here......

wow!!! you guys having an exam???? My Uni is having winter breaks. Good luck!!!


I'm reading "The Dante club". I think it's historical murder mystery. Very interesting. I just started today, so I dont know if it's good yet.

Have you guys read "The thirteenth tale"??

aaahhh.... I have time to read again, for myself....
just now I'm reading Kafka on the Shore, and it's great ^O^

@ Ophelia: yep I had exams at that time... winter break usually starts end of January, beginning of February, and lasts till April (in Germany ^^)
and no, I don't know "The thirteenth tale". What is it about, from the title it sounds interesting.
and how was "The Dante club"? you should've finished it by now, ne~


my book mountain is huuuuuuuge... just rearranged some things in my bookshelf, and realized how many books I still haven't read... T_____T
about 30 or even more...........
not counting in all the books for uni I still haven't bought, but need to read in the next months.... (for my final exams >___<)

Sorry to not not get back to you earlier Jeryn. I actually I lost intrest in "The Dante Club" through 1/3 of the book, still haven't finished it yet. Oneday I'll try to finish it though.

here is the info on The Thirteenth Tale. It's the best seller now.

And Damn...so you have to read sooo much. Do you mind if I ask you what you are studying?? something to do with spanish literature?

I'm reading the book called "The blood of Flowers". It's set in 17th century Iran, and about women's lives and carpet making.

ah Ophellia, you lost interest XD
I got one of those books as well, started rather interesting, and then I totally lost interest in it, the story just didn't take on... >_>
well, trying to read it again, I hope you're able to do it ^^b (I wasn't, don't even know where this book is, and just know that it was by Stephen King XD")

yep, I'm studying literature. English and American lit, and well Spanish lit as well - have to read so much for the Engl/Amer one.


I just read a book in like 3 or 4 days (450 pages), I just couldn't put it away. It wasn't even that exciting, but somehow funny and sweet and different and... well, it's called "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, and is actually a teenage-love-vampire-story, and the first part of a 4-part-series (the forth will be released this year). I'm thinkin' of buying the second part, but there are still so many other books to read XDDD"

and the review about the thirteenth tale sounds so tempting

What a coincidence Jeryn, I was gonna read "TWILIGHT" after I finish with "The blood of Flowers"!! I heard a raving review from a friend of mine about this serie. As a sucker as I'm to Vampires, I have to check it out XD.

hey that's one nice coincidence XD
hope you like the book!!!!
just one thing, the vampires in there are not so typical ^.~
but the story is great (at least it was for me ^^b)

I always hear just good feedback of the "Twilight" series
Maybe I should give them one day a try...
Unfortunately, at the moment I hardly find time to read
So I have to add it to a growing long list of books I would like to read one day...
At the moment I read the "Watch" series by Sergej Lukianenko.
IMO is a great series and I love the style of the author...Some months ^^' ago I started with "The Twilight Watch" however, I'm yet not really far >.<

i love Sergej Lukianenko books. he is a very good writer and i enjoy his books very much. i would love if they could do good movies out of his books but they simply.... are stupid. have you seen the movies of the series you mentioned. such great books and such a stupid movie T__T after movie one was so horrible i thought it couldnt get worse. but as morgana has said and actually warned it was much more horrible. part 2 lacked much more story than part 1. it really remembers on a best of as on a movie. a lot of snippets but no story line at all. i guess the second part was the first movie i stopped watching because of boredom.

im finally at the amber spyglas V^^V after numerous months im at book three of his dark materials

I also really enjoy the books...if I just would have had more time to read. The Night watch I nearly read within 2 weeks...and now ~.~

I just saw the first film...and I agree, I don't really liked it...however there were parts I liked very much how they put them into live...especially to visualise this enormous black vortex with black ravens (or is it just because I love crows and ravens that much ^^') And there are other details I liked...but in general I agree with you, the books are far better! Maybe should go now and read a bit xD

yeah, it has its moments but i didnt like the way how the whole thing was put up. especially anton being the father of the boy ^^* i was going crazy about this. it was so absolutely pointless and far-fetched Xd

i have to think about how to force my boyfriend in the eye...

and how to avoid some of my friends about me going into sex in the city movie with them. i really dont want to go

@ Steffi To be honest I quite like the idea that his son, he planned to 'kill', in the end is the 'source for a lot of trouble' I really have to read the books further...

@ anneliese 3 days to go...I'm in the same pain as you...don't really want to sit my exams...but have no choice
Wish you good luck <3 I'll think of you being in the same situation as me when I'll sit in front mine...

Unfortunately I don't know "In the miso soup" but the title sounds funny
What's the book about?

@ anneliese: The "In the Miso Soup" book sounds interesting, really. I love thrillers... just bought myself one - which was down in price, so I couldn't restrain XD
Maybe when you're further down in the book, you can tell me if it's really interesting or not.

You guys all finished your exams... I still have one to go. A translation exam >____<

I started reading a book called "The right attitude to rain". The title is quite funny, because it plays in Scotland
At first I thought it was boring... althoung the first paragraph sounded so gooood. But now the more I read, the better it gets. A little love story is developing, and the main character is a philosopher. So she's doing something similar to me (XDD)... and it's interesting to read.
What's also quite nice is that the author is a man... portraying a woman. I always like seeing how they do it ^^b

This one was great, believe me ^.~
A little diferent from the series, so I think you would've liked it.

after i finished one book i bought 4 new ones T___T

i guess i will never make my book mountain vanish T___T
i could clean up my place and put my book mountain under my bed but i guess it wouldnt help. life can be mean ^^*

right now im reading frankstein. i dunno, after i was buying a manga called mary goodwin i wnated to read frankenstein. lucky me, my boyfriend had it ^^ i took it and now he is sad because there is a whole in his order ^^*
maybe i should tell him to put his frog there. i guess i will read dracula after frankenstein because it is in the same book and i always wanted to read this one. i can tell you... as far as im concerned i love the book frankenstein. it is a masterpiece especially when you think on when it was published. it is amazing to read. and a lot better than any movie i have seen. actually im not that much of a fan of book and then movie things. usually, i like the book more than the movie.

@ anneliese

I'm not better at all but I just wasn't around the last months ^^'

I think the exams where okay...still have no results so don't know how I was doing ~.~

I'm not that much into thrillers but it sounds quite interessting...maybe should give it a try one day....

@ steffibj

I stopped buying books because of book mountain is growing and growing, however doesn't really help as therefore now the list in my head what book I should read in future is growing further

@ jeryn

sounds scary - who knows what still awaits you in this book

~~~~

Some weeks ago I bought again a book, still not started to read it... it's called "Sumo Sushi Dauerlächeln" (sorry for the German titel but there's not yet any translation... ^^'). It's about 40 experiences of a Gaijin in Japan...

now i'm trying to read Stephen King. anyone read his?
iya! when i went to book store, i couldnt find any of the collection
so, i bough 'The complete book of Knots'



yeah whatever

I've read some of Stephen King's books. They're quite good.
But to some extent boring - at least to me It takes a while for the stories to progress... but maybe it was just with the books I've read - like Carrie.

And you should try and see for yourself if you like his writing. It has a kinda unique style ^^
So enjoy it!
