Well, as for politics, is just not my thing, so I won't talk about it anyway, it means I have to take a side in a fight that has gone on for one too many years here. As for other authors, I would strongly recommend other poets, Vicente Huidobro and Nicanor Parra, although I don't know if...

I like Neruda, although here in Chile his work is a totally different thing, is different socially and in a cultural way it means a lot to the chilean people. However I don't like Isabel Allende really much, just because there are better chilean authors, with much more depth in their work, in my...

Totally agree... Awsome band indeed

Sophie's World - Joltein Gaarder. Very interesting plot, besides of the whole philosophy on the side, that was after all basic. Although the book was good, the ending was very dissapointing, it seemed almost as if the author was trying to come to an end as quickly as possible, without taking in...

Welcome to the forum... May I ask where did you get your name from? Is it the Band or the Countess???

never too late Nosferatu Sir... I've never heard Billy Clitheroe what kind of music is it?? Anyway, Biffy Clyro is a scottish band, and it's really hard to describe their music, first because there's a mixture of different elements and it really depends on each album since they tend to change an...

Hello, welcome...

Life Changing List Kristina Lavransdatter - Sigrid Undset (yes, I will keep up with my search for another Undset fan) The Antichrist - Frederich Nietzsche Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Patrick Suskind The World According To Garp - John Irving The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis...

Trying to listen Bizet's Carmen but my sister's insisting guitar playing keeps coming back... that means that at the moment I'm listenig to the awsome Georges Bizet AND Biffy Clyro :confused:

Yup... they do actually... not a big sports fan myself, but it seems that sports and wine are the things Chile is best known for, I prefer wine anyway...

Apparently not many people enjoy this author... well, it is a little slow to read from time to time but i still love her work, amazingly written, well structured (that's one of the reasons i hate García Marquez, complete lack of structure), beautiful stories and characters and of course as long...

The classical "Here's Johnny" by Nicholson in the Shining... also from that movie, the chasing sequence in the maze.

Poe is definately a good choice, one of my all time favorites. I think I would like to give Of Human Bondage another go, since I never finished it. I'd like to read some Nabokov and Tolstoi also. Another option is to read some more Henry James, but I'm always open for suggestions... so if you...

Well... in some places i'm known as Magnolia (sort of a special nickname)... and although I have a war against moths (lots of them, eating books... awful) I love the sound of that word

Hello everyone, I'm quite new, both to this forum, and forums in general, but I look forward to engaging myself in interesting conversations about what I enjoy the most, Literature, reading as well as writing. Anyway, I read anything that falls into my hands, but I'm partial to a good novel...
