There are several German members here, but they only visit every blue moon.

Let's put it this way... The movie was horrible. But the movie was better than the book.Quickfist wrote:Aww, I wanted to see the film..Is it really that bad? I read the movie edition, it had photo's of the film and a different cover, which looked pretty nice, but I noticed that some actors look very different from the characters in the book. For example, the book says that Arya had black hair, but the actress had red hair.

Maybe the Dutch translation was better than the original.
It's written by some teenager after all.

Hey, I heard this Dango!
Yeah, it's right, I was absent for a long time, but right now, I can be as active again, I just hadn't much time to visit the community regurlarly. So yeah, I'm back.
I'm reading Stephen King's "Death Walk" right now, it's very interesting.

Major bump.
I'm currently reading The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins. It's been good so far.

I'm reading a popular science book by Claude Allègre, and I'll probably read Gulliver's Travels after that.

Re: Books, Reading them.
I know a rich spoiled girl my age who never learned to read. 
At the moment I'm reading a book called Luna, it's about a transgender taken from a second person view, her younger sister's point of view. It's very reaslitically written.

Re: Books, Reading them.
It might be a good idea to mention the name of the book and give your bump some meaning.
Re: Books, Reading them.
Quite honestly I don't remember the name. I could look it up, but I don't feel like it.spiraldoor wrote:It might be a good idea to mention the name of the book and give your bump some meaning.

Re: Books, Reading them.
There are two books I quite enjoyed to read:
- "Os Maias" (From Eça de Queiroz)
- "Dragonsdale" (From Salamada Drake)
I've been reading one from Rita Vilela which I've been enjoying a lot aswell: The 7 Colours of Oniris.

Re: Books, Reading them.
I just got the Amazon Kindle app for Android, and I thought I'd give 'On the Origin of the Species' a go. Partly because it is one of the most important books in the history of science, and partly because it is way old and therefore free.
Have any of you guys read it? Got any thoughts?

Re: Books, Reading them.
Just read Catch-22. Well, hard to believe, a book with good general opinion that I liked.

Re: Books, Reading them.
I'm actually a bit tired of reading. With my eye problem causing me to have horrible horizontal tracking/tracing, it takes me forever to read a book. It might take me a month to read 200 pages for example. My English teacher assigned books like To Kill A Mockingbird every month to be read within three weeks. Most people took their time and finished within two, but I took about 2-3 months of heavy reading to finish it. I lucked out however on two of the books he gave us to read since I actually had read them before.
