Digital trade Wow, I was waiting for this model of digital market to appear for soooo long! And I am happy that those recording companies-monsters who make LOTS of $$ on merely selling of the records (and not sharing the profit so much with the artist who actually do the whole real work)...

Bohemian Rhapsody / Freddie Mercury This is exactly now in my head (which I do not mind actually. Better than Starry Starry Night :) I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango- Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me- Galileo,galileo...

Short stories collection I enjoyed some of Asimov's books long long time ago, but the most impression was left on me by Asimov's short robotic stiries. Check out this stories in a collection called "I, Robot". That was funny, dramatic and cute at the same time. The novels I remember less...

Ender's game? I would suggest Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It has a meaning, it is not very long and it suits your age group. I am not sure however where is the border between fantasy and SF genres passes. I think it is in between.

The Gospel According to Jesus Christ I've just payed attention that Amazon list of top 100 banned books did not include Saramago's "The Gospel According to Jesus Christ" which was banned in his home, Portugal. I'd put it in the ten-top, actually, because it was so well written, and it is very...

I've recently bought Great Expectations and The wind in the willows, as a series of Pinguin Popular Classics. Each was 3.90 Eu and 3.95 Eu, respectively. Something different - my Lolita edition, brand-new (in hard cover!) coasted only 8 Eu! It was "Rowohlt Tachenbuch Verlag", in German (the...

I was amused to realize that Ulysses banned :cool: Whoever manages to read it should actually get a price and not get into a prison for breaking the law :D And banning Lolita I find also strange. It is well-written and rather makes you dislike the main character, and be aware of that kind...

Well, if you did not do anything dangerous when you were 10, that's a shame! My parents would kill me if they new that we (the gang of 10-years old ) broke into the military base (through the hole in a surrounding wall) and started there our "investigations" until dogs started to chase us with...

Well, I am very surprised on your review! I enjoyed this book so much! I was in Barcelona once, and I could vividly imagine the streets in the rain, the sea, the trams, the Montjuic mountain... I found the characters to carry individual personalities. I found the "good guys" and the "bad...

I love SF, but all I read was about planet travel, dragons, or turtles who are gods. Can anybody recommend a good book about travel in time and time-machines?

I thought whether to classify this thread as "children fiction" or just as a "fiction". Knowing myself, I am happy that I read it now and not as a child. It would not be the same. I really enjoyed the language. I soaked every word. I read it in English (not my mother tongue) and observed how...

Anyways, I've already asked you in the other thread - what would you suggest as the best work of Vonnegut? I'd buy then several books by him.

Well, was bombing of the whole world serious? Or were the concentration camps just a mere joke? Ha-Ha-Ha, very funny indeed:D

What would you recommend as Vonnegut's best work? I would love to start with something of his works but from easy ones and and the ones that can be defined as "his best works".

Regarding horrors in Dresden it is no different from what probably people witnessed in London or Minsk or other cities bombed by Germans. And yet it is nothing in comparison to what people had survive (if lucky) in concentrattion camps. So this perspective of reading the book is a rather...

I was discussing with my friends movies and then we found ourselves looking hard into any good British movies. We came up with those: Trainspotting Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Monty Pythons Any other good British movies out there?

Here are two new very good German movies: The Lives of Others Elementary Particles And "Good Bye Lenin" was also great!

Jasper Fforde is funny and original! Did I miss it or nobody mentioned here the hillarious Gerald Durrell? I read almost all of his books on his work in wildest corners of the world, and it was always soooooo funny! And of cause I read twenty or so times his book My Family and Other Animals ...

Wow, you are amazing! Actually it works also for the book that I was looking for. I entered a german name (Eine Frau in Berlin) and this is what it returned. However, there was probably a bug of some type - it did not return an English translation :D I heard that it was translated to...

Now it really got on my nerves. I was googling for longer than an hour, trying to see into which other languages was "A Woman in Berlin" translated, and I could not find such information! Is there any way to find about every book into which languages it was translated? There must be some...
