I don't know how different it was from the book, but I think that "High Fidelity" is just great. I just haven't gotten around to ordering it on DVD yet...

Morgana · April 21st, 2002, 04:05 AM

I just start reading "the mysteries and secrets of magic" written by C.J.S. Thompson

Phildwarf · April 24th, 2002, 11:37 AM

Currently reading

The Songs of Maldoror by Lautreamont

The mists of avalon by i don't remember

Eulogy of the madness By Erasme

So was spoken Zarathoustra by Nietzsche

Treaty of the despair by Kierkegaard

Warmly recommanded :

All books of Antonio Lobo Antunes (my all time favourite author)

Less than zero by Bret Easton Ellis (bout drug)

Under the volcano by Malcolm Lowry (love and alcohol addiction)

The trilogy of the Ants by Bernard Werber (animal fiction, really great)

Relifex · April 25th, 2002, 11:51 AM

My favoritt book(s) is clearly, Lord of the rings (WELL DUH), Silmarillion, The dark elf trillogy (by R.A Salvatore) and the Crystal shard by R.A Salvatore, if you play Rolelpaying game (D&D) these books are a MUST

Morgana · April 25th, 2002, 12:44 PM

@ phildwarf The mists of avalon was written by Marion Zimmer Bradley

Morgana · April 30th, 2002, 07:07 AM

i have that one, too! (i also have the finnish edition but well.....swedish is a lot easier to get into

)

Morgana · April 30th, 2002, 07:50 AM

I actually prefer the Langenscheidt Swedish pocket version... my first one I sold to Banx from Angel Dust, hell we had fun when he start to speak Swedish...

Morgana · May 16th, 2002, 06:44 AM

I jnust start another book to read, Sins Of Church... very interesting...

Gaunerin · May 16th, 2002, 09:40 AM

Haha, Morg, guess which book I'm currently reading? It deals with getting settled in Sweden

. It's called Sweden - your second home.
I know the way I think about this is too "romantic" most of the time....though I'm trying to be realistic about it also. It will most likely never happen but it's still an interesting read. And still an option

Morgana · May 16th, 2002, 12:18 PM

ISBN #? I want it...

Hey, I'll move there one day... that's what I'm saving up for.

Ziuwarian · June 3rd, 2002, 05:24 AM

If you look for interesting characters, and do not mind a rather normal fantasy story - Waylander by David Gemmel would be an option!

I like that book.

Currently reading: The Huns (book about their history, culture, religion, language, warfare, etc...)

Lord of the Rings by Tolkien

Lordenlil · June 3rd, 2002, 10:36 AM

What I read the most is this: H.P. Lovecraft!
Yeah, I love his tales of evil!

I'm currently reading Stephen Hawking (the scientist).
I dunno the English title, but directly translated it's
'Universe without limits'

And reading it makes me realise I'm nothing... as a physical entity,
that is. But that's not what MY world evolves around anyhow

Morgana · June 6th, 2002, 08:14 AM

Haven't read that book yet, but actually I don't have the time right now to read a book...

Sadistik · June 6th, 2002, 09:08 AM

Just reading "Newjack", in which an investigative reporter became a prison guard to see what th real prison world is like. Pretty intense. The reporters a good writer, though, so it holds together, though he toots his own horn WAY too much, as though he's the first reporter ever to pull a scam to get a story....interesting though...

heather · June 6th, 2002, 11:39 PM

my favorite book is currently howard bloom's the lucifer principle, a scientific look into the forces of history. intriguing topics which read with the ease of a novel.
another notable is albert camus' resistance, rebellion, and death. one can only hope to achieve a fraction of this man's insight within a lifetime.

Karldin · June 6th, 2002, 11:57 PM

Currently reading Imajica by Clive Barker. Weird, but pretty good.

Morgana · July 16th, 2002, 12:29 PM

I try to finish the book about Maria Stuart (Scot's queen)...

Somber Soul · July 16th, 2002, 03:20 PM

And that would be Schiller's drama, I suppose?

I'm currently reading "High Fidelity" by Hornby. Before that, I had "About A Boy". After that, I'll turn to "Il Club Dumas" by Arturo Perez-Reverte.

Morgana · July 16th, 2002, 03:55 PM

It's a biography over 440 pages...

*yawn* Any new insights?

Hehe, no, just kidding.

I guess it was a good read, since you've been holding out till the end.

Morgana · July 16th, 2002, 11:21 PM

Oh, I started it long time ago and never finish it, cause I had other book to read. Now I try to read it till the end.

Morgana · November 3rd, 2002, 02:59 PM

I haven't finished it yet

Paulatron · November 3rd, 2002, 03:32 PM

I'm reading Downsize This by Michael Moore (the guy who made Bowling for Columbine).
