I simply had to apply to this thread! :D I think I have seen ALL of the dogme films, being a dane. I like "Festen" and "Mifunes" the best. I have met one of the actors from Mifunes at a party and it was great to talk with him about the film. I am curious, what do you think of the...

I went to the library yesterday to get more Dostojevsky books. And I found the book you mentioned. So now I am reading about old russia and about new russia, at the same time. I got "Den Russiske sangerinde" + the book you mentioned. I wouldnt say that Leif Davidsen is a great writer but its...

Hi Rigana, I dont like to make recommendations to anyone as its hard for me to say as I dont know what sort of person you are and what kind of stories you like. I started to read Auster myself many many years ago. And back then he had "only" written the small stories. NY Trilogy and other...

I am sitting here smiling! :D I know EXACTLY what you mean! I love to sniff old books! lol. And I simply love the fact that you use your senses when buying a notebook. Are you by any change one of the guys who also takes up the clean dry clothe to your face and sniff it, when you have done...

Well, I am glad that you liked it! I thought it was just so cute and so strange at the same time. Its the first story in the book, and it does really make a very good start of the book. His intro is also good. I dont know if you know, but Auster has a VERY good relationship with Denmark. Some...

I read the NY triology many many years ago. But I think you ARE right about this identity theme. I checked out what Leviathan meant on wikipedia and it made a whole lot sense to me. I am guessing you cannot help me with the title of the two other books then? I am not sure what tasks you...

I went into the city of Copenhagen today and I noticed one of our churches looking a little Russian. Here is a photo so you can see what I mean:

Oh you speak a little russian! I can only say one thing in Russian, sparsiba..not even sure I spell it correctly. I have never been but I am planning to go to St. Peterburg now.

Yes I also like to talk about life in general and to get to know about another culture etc. I was not contacted by a moderator, it was a kind member who pointed this out to me. Maybe because we got to talk about religion in my thread. I just hope that the moderators distinguish between talking...

Hi Sergo and Kenny Someone has pointed out to me that we are not supposed to talk about things which does not relate to a book, like religion, politics and I guess culture. I think that such a shame as I have enjoyed our talks about Russia very much. How do you feel about it? Flower

Hi Sergo, You have been missed! Have you been away on business? I shall look forward to be hearing from you again soon. Flower

I am sitting here with my copy of the book. There is 180 stories in it. I shall type the first one for you here as its so great in its own way: "The chicken" As I was walking down Stanton Street early one sunday morning, I saw a chicken a few yards ahead of me. I was walking faster than the...

The read notebook is one of the books I havent read. :eek: Yes there is some I havent read! This is so great to finally talk with someone about Auster. I have never really thought that he wrote much about identity! But I can see what you mean and I think you are right. Maybe he is...

I read the book "True tales of American life" just recently. And it was great, filled with many funny, strange and lovely stories. You can certainly see that its in Paul Austers spirit to release these stories. Flower

I cant remember Oracle Night right now :confused: Is it the one where he goes to a shop to get this special notebook and some time afterwards the shop is gone? What do I like about Auster´s books? I have been thinking about this. And I think it has to do with different things. I like the way...

Rainbowgirl, I have been an Au Pair many years ago. If the lady is writting this about you on an Au Pair Agent site, then I would call the agent. Call them or write them an email and ask them if you can give them your side of the story. If they are a serious agency, they would want to hear what...

Are you all having a nice weekend? Miss you guys! ;) Flower

Smiling, no we dont have a fjel, But we have a mermaid! :D Havnet heard Mew much, sorry Flower

Oh Leif Davidsen! I know him of course, but I havent read any of his books yet. (To everybody else Leif Davidsen is a famous newsreporter in Denmark). Maybe I shall check him out as I do slip in a mystery/crime story now and then. ;) Flower

I also think that you go on living in other people in other ways than just by memory. I had a very close relationship with my father who is dead now. I know that I have picked up many things from him which I dont even know of, which lies in my subconsious. I have a son who has never met his...
