maybe said is addressing a rather specialized public, but i still think he misses some points on the logical level. and i read the book because a person very close to me recommended it to me.

considering the fact that every year there are new interesting books that worth being read before dying (readers' death), i think this recommendation books need some sort of recycling after a while. if i would look through these sort of books it would be only to see what percentage of the list...

the Horse in Orwell's Animal Farm

i am romanian ( a country un eastern europe), but i left my country two years ago. about nationalism. i do not think that the fact of being aware of belonging to a certain nation necessarily makes one to be nationalistic. just like the fact that i have brown eyes. that does not mean that i...

hi, sofia, welcome.

hi, i read your prologue. i like your writing. for example, i like the way you describe the sky. as for the money attracting part. (first of all i want to tell you that i am not a specialist in these matters, so i will only give you a personal opinion). the subject of ufo's is not very...

as for the lecturers, maybe there are a lot of them living in france. for example, i could not go on the internet on tuesday because the university library (where i have access to the internet) was on strike.

of course it is very enjoyable here when the students are on strike. but then there are some other people who have that hobby, and some strikes are not that pleasant (what pisses me off is when people working for the railway company go on strike, and you know what they do?! they go on strike...

i think this kind of issue always appears when it comes to changes in society etc. i would like to see a survey on the numbers of tv watching since the computer games are so much used, or cinema going since the intense use of dvd players. i think it is normal for young people to be more...

hi, i am from romania, but now i am studying in france. i am in rennes, a city in north western france, the capital of the region, bretagne. it is a ... well... student city. so there are a lot of parties, bars, theatres etc. actually there is a lot of alcohol in the whole region. and strikes...

besides psychology books (which reading is for my work), i love to read books about art and art history, biographies, and history and politics books about contemporary events.

you are welcome. it was just an opinion. which does not have to be valid for everybody.

ok, let me entrer into details. the plot is never the problem. i do not think that the plot of a book is essential. i do not even think that a book must have a plot (or what is traditionally implied by that term). what i have to reproach to dan brown is his style. outside action, he develops...

mine is prince nikolai, from dostoyevsky's the possessed. i find him the perfect embodiment of the loss of humanity and dosto showed how attractive that is to people.

i am in the group of those who keep their books piled up on the floor. and not only now (my house does not have any kind of shelves since the owner threatened me that he will ask me money to paint the walls if i put nails in them), but home too. i think it is too complicated to have things in an...

homosexual loving scene the only loving scene between homosexuals i have ever read was in proust's Sodom and Gomorrah. and once i realized what it was about, i really loved the way he described it.

the dan brown style puts me off too.
