Please ,this is not my suggestion , I would not dream of stepping on so many toes of established members of this erudite forum ( drying tears of laughter) But you see what I mean beer good , this is exactly the kind of immature and silly remark that a member of such a group should make .

Realising this is a popular spot to get a response and not knowing where else to ask this question ( nodding and smiling , smiling and nodding )I wondered when there is a mature discussion group , should there not also be an immature or very silly discussion group ? Could limit access to proven...

Great , thanks pontalba, was afraid I would have to start talking to myself again . Read some Coben and Leonard , did not really grab my attention , dont know why . The others I will certainly look into , especially Lawrence Block .

Fantastic Fiction Right , now I can post a hyperlink , great site for detailed info . Am wondering why information exchange between people of similar taste seemingly is not very popular , or probably most readers are on vacation. My favorite internet bookdealer -with prices normally 40/50...

Dont think I have ever been there , hope you visited the province of Zeeland as well [quite near Oud Beijerland], one of the best preserved areas of Holland , sleepy little towns and villages presenting a good picture of Hollands golden age [seventeenth century] However you cant have visited...

Not the faintest clue what addy means , but here the info ! Province Utrecht in the area known as het Gooi , lots of trees and other greenery , completely different from our coastal area , which from Rotterdam to Amsterdam is slowly turning into one enormous city . The wealthy seventeenth...

Discovering interesting writers of thrillers and detectives is not so easy , so I am looking for suggestions. Because taste is hard to define , here the list of my favorite writers at the moment: Thomas Perry (surprisingly little info on this great site , not well known ?) John...

Sooo sorry , talking to myself really .

Please tell me you are joking , my intention was just to stay here for a while , as friendly as I can be , soaking up information , not stirring up anybody . Have heard enough people complaining about sore toes and hurting shins to last me the rest of the year . Great ,tested out the quoting...

Libra here my answers : 1-Going dutch [sharing costs] , belgian joke:How was copperwire invented ? Two dutchman fighting over a penny , of course we dont agree , we are careful with money and belgians are no rocket scientists . 2-Holland big ?? Put it on the map of Canada and you have...

Thanks Libra , I think its probably better to leave well enough alone [ very strange expression ] , cheaper too , something that for a dutchman is not unimportant !

Forgive me [very meekly] one last silly question . How do I change my name from barryboek to banned , find this more informative and memorable ? Forum use and computer operation not my strongpoint . Understood how to change almost everything else , very annoying no idea how [ or do I have to...

I do agree about the cathartic bit [my oh my , lot of difficult words used on this forum , once used the word conformist on the dutch site and was accused of arrogance , lack of empathy and one ,,reader,, complained he had to use a dictionary ] So you can understand why I started to feel like a...

Thanks Libra , I am not much of a ,,forumtiger,, or an advanced computeruser , took me about 2 hours to find an avatar I liked and to figure out how to get the bleeding picture to work on this site . So I am happy that the result is pleasing . I do not know , Janet , if I am ready to risk life...

Thanks Occlith found the section crafts very amusing , no comparison to the witchhunting circle I was ejected from . Knitting was inaccessible to me [access not allowed]. Preventive measure ?

Please , please do not ask me this again . The memories.... , the trauma..... I will carry the scars till the day I die , knitting needles sparkling in the sun , stabbing , stabbing ...Please dont make me remember !

Oh my God , thank you all so much , people interested in books , prepared to discuss , even to disagree without violence [except of course saliotthomas!]The last three days really were traumatic , never been kicked out of anything . At the end I almost believed you needed to be a toothless crone...

Thanks , I will try to keep my head down and not rock the boat too much . Would hate to be banned here , read a bit of the thread about hard boiled detectives , great stuff , finding this kind of info on the dutch site I mentioned , was as much fun as having your wisdom teeth extracted .

Thanks , nice to hear a friendly ,,voice,, after all the virtual disapproval I have suffered the last few days . Became a bit apprehensive when I noticed the number of postings about Dan Brown . Will the banning proces be repeated on this site ? To my relief I discovered not all of the postings...

Hello , my name is Barry[boek] , I am dutch , but since I read almost exclusively english speaking authors [in the original language] I started looking for a [dutch] site to exchange information about favorite writers . To my total surprise this forum [the largest in holland and belgium ezzulia]...
