When we've finally got a full list of one book per Olympic country it'd be nice if a friendly Mod could edit them into a one post sticky or something like that. Personally I think It's a good idea to encourage people beyond the limits of the English Writing world... That Icelandic author being...

Another excellent suggestion. Anyone who liked Lost in Translation may be interested in the, far superior, Wong Kar-Wai films that were Sofia Coppala’s most obvious point of reference. 'In the Mood for Love' is often named as Wong Kar-Wai's best film but some of his earlier work like...

Unfortunately you will need to learn Russian Grammar as well as vocabulary, without the grammar (in particular how the endings of words change depending on how they are used) you'll not make much progress. Sergo can explain this better than me...

I think you need to have a word with your other half about that. Nicking your unfinished book, reading it all the way through and then telling you the ending is pretty bad form. I think I'm right in saying that Kadare's problems were more for works like 'The Palace of Dreams' and 'The Pyramid'...

Sergo, post this poor girl some of your snow...

I speak about 200 words or so. Most of the Russians I know speak good English and want to practise it with me, so that feeds into my general lazyness. I have no contact with any Intelligence agencies, perhaps no contact with intelligence itself...

The idea of the ruthlessly efficent German war machine is one willing played up by a number of countires to explain away the defeats of 1939-1942... But not as good as later production versions of the Panther... If it hasn't then it should...

I'd widen this out somewhat and recommend that people seek out the work of Krzysztof Kieślowski in general. This is a list of his work on DVD and of these I think I'd single out 'The Decalogue' as the best, even though it was actually made for televison; infact it's probably one of best things...

Aragon: Hi. If you look at the location field for people in this thread you'll notice that membership comes from many different countries, and in pretty much every part of the world apart from North America, football means soccer. So 'Match' is actually a magazine dealing with mainly the British...

Well, thank goodness that's sorted out, we can all relax over Christmas now... Who'd of thought Достое́вский was so difficult to pronouce...although it's no человеконенавистничество or even взьзднут...

Speaking of blasts from the past...here's one for you jenn... "Have this woman washed and sent to my tent" p.s. Merry etc etc

Well, whatever your views on religion, the question 'What caused the first domino to fall over' will probably always remain unanswered...hence there does not have to be conflict between science and religion if that fundamental issue is kept in view...problems only arise when explainations to...

Oh yes, this happened to 'a friend' of yours did it?

Hello, hello, hello, you're actually having a go at this Olympic bid aren't you? Bonkers!

Heretic! Throw her in the comfy chair! ps Happy New Year too...

The ending of that clip seems to suggest that Santa suffers from arse dandruff...as well as buttock acne...

Happy unconvincing-Lego-figure-day everyone!

Ok, here are a few more links to sites about the Kanun and one about Kadare himself: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/1964397.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/correspondent/europe/1247526.stm...

http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=8148&highlight=kadare It's been a couple of years since I read Broken April, so i'll not remember every detail, but I'm happy to share my thoughts if you want. I seem to remember I recommended this book to you in your 'Olympic Bid' thread. K-S

Oi! You're skating on thin *#~*ing ice sunshine...
