Oh sorry I misread your post the last time, I thought you already had some degree in english philology and now wanted to do something else for a change.

Since I've been, like i said, damn lazy, I didn't fill any other slots. One reason is that I wouldn't really mind having an off year either (that is, if I fail the exam).

oh, I haven't even started those books yet, not at all...

Wow, that makes me relieved. Then again I can be a reeeeally slow reader, since I have the concentration span of a sugar-rushing squirrel, so you'll probably get them read before me anyway.

Egyptology sounds cool. You'd have to have good German skills for that though, if I remember correctly. I myself would probably study either the India or the China stuff.

Yeah see you there. I can be easily spotted, since I have red hair...

Happy sauna/makkara/mökki-times.

dun usu read much but i just got this book called Sexual Astrology by Martine. lol interesting but need to read in with a cold shower

Not much of a reading head really but I've just finished The Virgin Suicides by Geoffrey Eugenides and I loved it...

I've tracked the film down on ebay at a bargain price so i'm preparing to be disappointed - This being a rare occaision when I've read the book first...

Anyone seen it? How does it compare to the book

I read the book and saw the movie back when it first came out, I thought both were well done. Air's soundtrack to the movie is great.

yeah thats probably what i'm most looking forward to... so the film does it justice? thats good - I'd heard mixed reviews

christ i need to read more lately. i still haven't finished that time traveller's wife thing. altho it's still all good.

saw the virgin suicides at some kind of free promo screening just before it came out, thought it was ok, perhaps a smidge too arty (if not then maybe just a bit too dull) for my tastes.
tbh the air soundtrack album didn't do it for me either, and i liked air's older works.

Reading both William Gibson's 'Pattern Recognition' and the Ch4 book 'Pump Up The Volume' again, because I can

I just finished Pattern Recognition a few weeks ago. Once It got going I really liked it & had trouble putting it down a few times. Most Gibson stuff really doesn't do much for me but this was a real exception.

Currently rereading the Enders Game saga (now on Xenocide, book 3) from Orson Scott Card.

I'm reading it for the second time... I've got both the UK and US hardback first editions here... I'm a bit of a Gibson nut






Can you tell?





p.s. Is this a bad time to mention the autographed first edition hardback for 'All Tomorrows Parties'?

You're a collectors' collector aren't you dog

Yup. If I'm passionate about something then I tend not to do things by halves...

Had to give up on 'The Algebraeist'. The fact that Mr. Banks's books have a tendency to start quite slowly can make them a little difficult to get into. It just needs a little more patience.

Currently reading 'The War of the Flowers' by Tad Williams. Much pacier

The latest Karin Fossum.

My uncle was a guard there when that happened, he had to do some of the clean up afterwords too. He has some very gruesome tales to tell about that. Those 'men' did truly horrible things to anyone & everyone they didn't like.

It happened the year after I moved to Rio Rancho New Mexico, about 45 minutes from Sante Fe.
