I haven't read a new book in ages!
I picked up
Fleshmarket by Nicola Morgan. It's based in 1828, and it's so disgusting how graphical she wrote an unhygienic surgery... I was gagging.

I've been reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. I'm almost done with it, too. Great book.

I just found a great book: How to insult your hosts in many languages.
Hunch, je vous deteste, vas crever.
Matyuv, yeb vas.
Tobbe = kuk suger.
There aren't enough langueges in it.

Also, there are no spanish, italian or german people here as far as I know.

Whoever wrote that book really fails at French, I'm afraid.

I've got a similar book called "The Little Book of Foreign Insults" and I've had Russian speakers confirm that it's not that accurate. Still fun though.

I read it. I also read Eldest and Brisingr. I thought they were fairly good. The film was pretty bad and the game was probably the worst thing I've ever played, though.

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.

You don't need to worry, I'm sure it's a fine film. As long as you don't get REALLY attached to the book you'll enjoy it. I've heard good things about it.

Fail.
The first one isn't even a word and the second one isn't grammatically correct in this case.

I can however translate almost whatever you want into Polish, if you're interested.
No, no Shakespeare or whatever.
EDIT: Typos.
