Hiyah, "Though it's been a while since I read Eco, I can sort of see what Morry is saying. I think, though, that it is less a problem with Eco's style than a symptom of a style of writing. I seem to remember that thinking, for instance, that Foucault's Pendulum was as much a sort of...

Yep, perhaps surely not... Would get it a good expansion on the discussion Thing is, I kinnda agree on the point of stories being similar ... - you get the point here indeed - yet I cannot help thinking that Eco has that cold erudition that means little in human non-intellectual terms, and...

X-men, Might be a bit on the 'conventional' time for, but quite enjoy it. Morry;)

Cheers for that, Morry:)

Would disagree on that. Same kind of story or same kind of erudition? Morry :cool:

As Corso said earlier, and quite agree on it: The movie is pretty very very very very very poor compared to the subtleties of the book. On the movie, to me, I see it as a problem of complete and aberrant cultural incoherence: Hollywood actor Depp, and special effects - cannot think about a...

What about "Girl, interrupted" tonight? Sometimes I wonder what people really want when making or watching ever sad and disturbing stories. There must be a bit of exorcising in the exercise. Not sure it works though. Against what I thought am sometimes quite happy to come bacl to good oldie...

Hi Corso, I have not read them as much as I would have liked, for not as easy to find.... They are a bit different from the other books, though and less serious and researched in some ways, and a far as the story draws from one book to another one and Perez-reverte makes less efforts to have...

Quote: *I find the idea repulsive as well. That's why I didn't go see that movie Jody Foster was in... "Hotel"? * Glad I am not the only one. Cheers, Morry:cool:

Won't push more on this than this reply, man... If you want some books see Yann Queffelec: Les Noces Barbares and La Femme Sous L'Horizon. Hope you won't enjoy the reading and never buy them... Sometimes speaking abisively on issues makes them worse, and encourage the problems to grow up...

*Neutral* way? Gulp! :mad: Why the question???? Willing to exorcise for sthg in Egypt? Is that possible? Sorry but asking on these kinds of enquiry and pretending they can be neutrally spoken about rather makes me sick.... As for books it seems to it has more to do either worsening the...

Perez-Reverte por fin? :) Quote "Wanted: Arturo Perez Reverte Fans to start an online fanclub. Anyone out there. Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please...

Hiyah, guess you love books.... Have read the name of the rose at least a 8ish times, first at 15, last a few months ago. TBR definite yet take your time, and lock yourslef in a room if not very expert in medieval literary erudition on the devil and the Bible great as well: Foucault's...

Feliz compleanos Tobytook.... Morry:)

No, no, and no and no..... Why would I? Do we read to be reminded how the world is in reality? And to begin is there anytning such as *non-fiction*? ;) Someone should read the intro to Bradbury's to the Hermitage: 'This is my story ....' Morry

Have decided to begin mine again... after 6 years of break ... unless I decide to change the topic. Morry:)

When I think about it: Same satirical water: The good soldier Svjek Hasek or how to be the best soldier while not doing anything for the Autrian empire in the 1920s The Master and Margarita Mikhail Bulgakov: how the devil came disguised as a cat to disturb social order in communist Moscow...

I need help from people here: How's the book given the movie or vice versa? Personally quite enjoyed the movie, especially the last twist, though from the movie script point of view, it was I would say 99.99% impossible to get to it... too improbable. Would read the book if a bit more...
