Right now: Dead Kennedys - Chickenshit Conformist but at any given time it would probably be some underground or hardcore rap/hip-hop or punk music -tZar

Welcome to the forum - I myself is new to this, and do not have much experience with forums in general. This forum does look like something I could spend some time on, and I look forward to reading some of the 'book of the month' novels, when I get time. As of right now I have not been home for...

I feel like rambling a bit :rolleyes: - I'll try to make it short... I agree with you on that, and must add on my own account that the age of Hamlet is not that big a deal. For me the most interesting thing of Hamlet is the way we are show how to become ourselves. I see the whole play as a...

As I said, I once did - Death in Venice by Thomas Mann, which I then left in a bus for someone else to have. But no, besides that one I have never bought a book already in my collection. I do not remember all the books by heart, but when I see a title I can tell you if I have it or not...

I do like your interpretation of ’The Trial’ and I must admit that the biographical angle have never really interested me all that much. Firstly I must warn you that it is about six years since I have read the book, so I might not have the details all straight any longer, but it is also one of...

I have loved Dubliners for many years and do return on occasions. I have actually tried to read Ulysses but had to give up. You know the feeling that you are just missing too much here, and that it is a shame to continue. -tZar ... Ulysses sits casually on my bookshelf grinning at me ...

I think you are wrong on this point. GGM makes a point out of repetition and apparent redundancy. Reading only part of the book will give you a fairly good insight into the 'intention'. It is just elaborated, and made more complex as you go along. The thing is that even though he emphasises...

Booklist I never make any lists, and I have only found myself once buying a book I already had. I have about 2000 books in my library and I cannot help buying a couple every time I pass my local bookshop. I pretty much know which books I own, where they are (no system though I try to keep...

Hi Just wanted to say hallo to you all... :) -tZar Thomas Sorensen
