Hi Sergo I dont have much to report back. I enjoy my holieday by staying late in bed in the mornings and reading books underneath a blanket. We have got snow over here now. They talk about a snow storm tomorrow. All the kids are happy of course, out playing in the snow. Think I shall look...

Kenny, Do you speak russian? Or are you a secret KGB agent dressed up as an englishmen? ;) I loove the language and wouldnt mind being able to understand and talk russain. Flower

Your dachas sound very much like our summer cottages, also we have some sheds where you dont spend the night, but usually stay during the day and grow vegetables in the small garden. They were made in the old days, for people in the cities to get a place where they could get some fresh air and...

What about your dacchaws? (Not sure how to spell the word). I thought they would be a bit like our summer cottages. Usually they are placed together, so you have like a small place with only summer cottages. And people usually buy one only a couple of hours away, so they can go there on a...

Sounds nice that you have planted trees on your land. In Denmark some people have summer cottages. Some of them are very luxious with spa bath, sauna, others simple with ordinary living room and bedrooms, other again very spartanious with hardly anything. Most of them look a bit like Norveigan...

I like squirrels too! We have the very orange/brownish ones. Why I said that you would swear at them fighting them off, was because I got a picture in my head you being attacked by several black squirrels.(Kennys post)

Sounds like you have found a great little spot of land! I bet its very satisfactory to built your own house, to get all the things the way you want them. Not that I would know how to do it myself. The hell of buying IKEA furniture.lol. Everyone has tried this, getting the wrong stuff and its...

LOL No, I imagine big strong Sergo fighting it off while swearing in russian...:D

This put a big smile on my face! :D

Sounds like you are able to build a very luxious house! ;) and I bet you enjoy doing it. Is it a nice place the piece of land that you are building your house on? IKEA is also very popular over here. I do believe I own a couple of things from IKEA. Its Swedish. Some of it I like and some of...

I have just finished reading the book and is trying to get my head around it. I have read all your comments and here is what I have come up with so far as far as understanding the book. I believe the story is about a man/boys struggle and understanding of what life and what religion is, what...

I have just finished reading "girl with a pearl earring". I wouldnt call it intellectually and emotionally demanding, not at all. Dont know Anita Brookner though. I think the author did a great job in describing the feelings growing in Griet. The tention she feels when she is next to Vermeer...

I know you shouldnt choose a book by its cover, but I admit a great cover can make me curious and pick up the book. Thought I would start a thread about great covers! Here are 3 very different covers that I like, please share some of yours! :D

I have been ill almost a week now. I have a cold and have a hard time keeping warm, guess thats what a flu is like. Havent hardly any energi, sleep many hours and read a little. Got some new books I have ordered today. So I might just snuggle up with a nice hot cup of tea underneath the...

So you are like me. I like in the outskirt of Copenhagen and my work is on the other side of Copenhagen. I find it hard though to read in the morning on the buss as people are all pushing and the buss is very often stuffed with people. I have heard people saying that Dostojevsky being...

I dont think that you can be artistic on a high level without having very high intellectuel skills. Many of the great genius in the world, both in science and in art, have developed ways of understanding, viewing the world, viewing challenges in a way outside the norm. Think of Einstein, Rodin...

How about "Mother" by Hanif Kureishi. That one is on my to be read list. Flower

Here is Jennifer Garner! This is the kind of cool strong woman my son adores!

Think she just might be a wee bit too slutty for him! ;)

Thank you for all your suggestions! I managed to find Philip Pullman´s books in Danish. They have a female character and seems like they are the next step from harry potter and lord of the rings. plus they have a forum where he can discuss the books. On the danish booksite where I found his...
