I read Elenum/Tamuli in a Danish translation - it wasn't too horrid if I recall correctly. I think they were better than the Belgariad/Malloreon - much better. Like the Belgariad was only the first draft for the story-line of Elenum. I enjoyed the books - no doubt about it, but still...

I've only read Lime's Photograph myself, but I'll definitely recommend it, if you're into this kind of thing. It's one of those books my mum got from a book club as a special offer for next to nothing. So it was in the house, I read it, enjoyed it. Definitely light reading (unlike Dostoyevsky...

Billy Boyd didn't write that song - it's one of Tolkien's original verses from FotR when the Hobbits first leave the Shire. It is in fact a walking song and with the rhythm The Tolkien Ensemble gave it it's amazingly cheerful. I still don't get why it can be sad that mist, twilight, cloud...

And here I was considering possibly reading some of his stuff... That attitude alone will deter me. I've got better things to do with my time than reading stuff from a man who can't take criticism. I take his replies as meaning he would never listen to proof-readers either, since he knows...

By all means point - point to your heart's content.

No harm done. I feel like newbie even though I'm familiar with the place. There's HUGE diff between lurking and participating.

Iraq made gas prices sky-rocket in DK Katrina had the gas prices above 10 DKK yesterday, I just checked them - they're back below 10 now. We'll see how things go when (hopefully) the Iraq trouble settles... in some.... many... years... *sigh*

Someone adjusted it to little adults sometime later - hence I did not direct it at Moto ;) Heh, jumping in like that is what I do. Having spent way too much time online for some years now I've gotten used to 'foruming'. And while being quiet in a corner might still get you some looks IRL it...

I have no idea whether it affect the odour... I have no clue - I never really thought about it. What I *do* know is that when I break into a sweat the itching is always worse if there's hair in the area. Thus I tie my hair up on my head as opposed to have it down, and thus I shave my armpits...

Indeed, I read somewhere in an interview with a child psychologist that the parents who bring their 4 year old to the supermarket and while there asks him what he'd like for dinner actually stresses him about as much as 6 hours' overtime does to an adult. He is being asked to make a decision on...

Gotta love 'em :P As for the original question: I don't think I know any woman who doesn't shave her armpits. I use roll-on antiperspirant, I have quite the sweat-problems as well and normal deodorant really doesn't help for shite. So I'm using either Rexona or Dove - depending on...

Well said, leckert, well said. I think my parents stopped using a smack on the bottom as correctional measures around the time I was 5 or 6 - that would fit with me not remembering many details of the occasions where I was the one being smacked - I remember more about my younger brother...

Nah, spanking - while I don't think it'll hamr a kid - should be used carefully. Your example with 'getting too close to the street' would not call down a spanking from me. That would more likely get a reaction along the lines of telling them how dangerous it can be, and how mommy would be...

Our gas prices hit 10.35 DKK per litre. That's approximately 1½ $ so when you'll be paying 3 $ per gallon you'll still have it cheap Njah!

At my school the teachers couldn't even send us home - they were responsible for our safety during school hours - so they could hardly send us off into the dangerous world outside... Psh. I'll say that I don't mind the word f*ck being used - as long as it's not ABused. But talking back to...

I got Pendulum for Christmas some years back, took me some time before I got around to reading it - so that didn't happen till last summer. I enjoyed very much. I seldom pick up so heavy a book for leasure reading - I get plenty of the heavy stuff through my studies, so Pendulum was...

Hettar from The Belgariad Silk from same. Can't really think of others at the time.

Might have something to do with it being British :P I get the feeling the American authors produce so much fantasy that importing it is seldom done. But yeah, submarines is correctly remembered. Aquasilva is a world almos completely covered in water. There are a few continents and many minor...

Anybody ever read this? It consists of Heresy, Inquisition and Crusade. It's fairly new. Audley is a student of History at Oxford university, and the way he uses the writing of history as a major theme in these fantasy books made them very different from what I'm used to reading. They have...

Heh sounds a bit like her style is the same as in Song of Solomon. I'll have to go about reading Beloved, then.
