    First book

    1st book that I really enjoyed as a kid was: Where the red fern grows by Wilson Rawls. I re-read it about two years ago. Still good as the first time I read it.

    What's a schnickelfritz?

    I tried babelfish with the word, as one and two, but no luck. Tried searching for anything of schnickle in amazon.de, nothing. Reading the thread, seems like a made up word or mispronunciated or misspelled? Then there's a possibility of being "schnitzel". (wiener schnitzel)

    Robert Louis Stevenson: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

    I had always thought the book was about something like your quote: Lunatic trapped in a Sane person. And everyone has it. The Doctor, he is revered in society, yet, inside, he has dirty, horrific desires that cannot be commited by an upright citizen. So, he wants to be mutated into this...

    The Chronicles of Narnia or LOTR

    For the overwhelming part about names, I sometimes write down the names and their relations to each other. That helps. But what I really wanted to discuss about was..., Did you know there is an alternate order for the Chronicles of Narnia? 6 The Magician's Nephew 1 The Lion, the Witch...

    What Do You Have in Your Amazon Wish List?

    I got about 3 pages long of a list. Then, I also have a 2nd wish list or a 'sub-list' named "library" to seek out the books to check out because they don't look worth buying, but to check out. The wish list works out pretty well for me. For I wait til I have some spare change then, I get...

    Fantasty genre dead?

    Well, if you put it that way... I mean yes, what Breading1 had said is correct. But, that should not stop us from reading this genre. If you so believe in those steps of the stories, then I think I can say this: You're born, you live, some of us get married and have children then you die...

    Do you buy, borrow or take out from the library?

    Although I still buy, mostly second hand, I have enough for re-reading. But, I don't have enough in comparison to my library system. I request books from different branches of the county library if it is not found in my local library. I don't mind the wait. :cool:
