"Black Dogs" just wasn't something for me, but I think I'll give some of his others a try, since I like his writing style. Part 1, in "Atonement" was great, Part 2, I don't even want to comment on, but I'll do it in short anyway: huge dissapointment. No author should be allowed to do that to a...

Iyiyim. ;) And yeah, I guess "Nasısın" was what I was trying to say. :) Add "East of Eden" to your list. You won't be dissapointed.

It's much of the same reason as the one you guys gave, that I don't want to even give "Rebecca's Tale" a try. My copy of "Rebecca", actually had "foreword" by Sally Beauman, and she didn't impress me at all with her "views". I had read 50 pages of it before I sat down with it on Sunday, and...

I agree Ronny, I don't think I'll ever forget Manderly, such a nice place. Described in an amazingly wow-way. ;) No, I havent' read anything else by her, but I do have "Frenchman's Creek" at home, which I'll probably give a try after a few weeks or days. I'd like to know what you thought of...

“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again.” With this line Daphne du Maurier’s magnificent and beautifully written novel, “Rebecca” begins. In short, it’s about a around 20-years old “unnamed” I-woman’s marriage to a widower; Maxim de Winter and his earlier, now-dead wife; Rebecca. And...

I have that book!!! :D I have had so much about "Kristin Lavransdatter" at school that I've become pretty sick of her. I've reached the point were I'm no longer sure if I've read the book or not. I'm no fan of hers. Cora Sandel is faaaaar better or Amalie Skram (of what I've heard about her)...

I just finished reading "When We Dead Awaken" by Henrik Ibsen. It was an ok read. This was my favourite part: IRENE We see the irretrievable only when— [Breaks off.] PROFESSOR RUBEK [Looks inquiringly at her.] When---? IRENE When we dead awaken. PROFESSOR RUBEK [Shakes his head...

Welcome vmarschick! Philosophy? :eek: Have you read anything by Kant yet? (Very curious). Hope you'll enjoy your time here. :)

Welcome Emmer! :D Hope you'll like it here.

noname, I'm not a Fenerbache-fan, just to make that clear. ;) I was only "teasing" you. :p "Na sursun?" or something... atleast that's how it's pronounced... means how are you, right? :o

No way, Ice! noname, who won the Turkish "league" (or something) this year? :p

Welcome noname! :D Are you a Fenerbache-fan by any chance? Just curious. :) You'll like it here, I'm sure. Feel free to post anytime.

Hey sanyuja, finished up "The Overcoat" yesterday, and found it to be really great! I'm defenitly going to look more into his "works". Very well-drawn characters, especially the main one. Wonderful way to "tell a story", it's like listening to someone telling you it, if you understand what I...

Hey Rogue, I read "Oscar and the Lady in Pink" by Schmitt yesterday, and didn't like it much, so I wouldn't recommend it. It sounded nice and all from what I had read about it, but it was just silly. It's about a boy who has 12 days left to live because of cancer (leukaemia), and he uses those...

I didn't like the ending, it ruined everything for me. I found it to be a bit too cliché-ish.

It's fine. :) I probably had alot of my "facts" wrong with the book in front of me, so don't worry. ;) Plus I've delivered it back to the library, so now I'm just writing what I can recall and and make out of my notes. :D Ah, I see what you mean. In that sense you have a point there, but I'd...

"Anna Karenina": 1 star or less. :rolleyes:

I found Anna and Stepan to be more of an interesting comparison. Why? Because both were cheating on their "partner's", yet the outcome of their lives turned out differently; defenitly because of the fact that she was a woman and he a man. Why would you say Anna&Levin?

Welcome Nakmeister! :)

Thanks clueless. I'll give it a try and see what I think of it. :) I've never heard of Mira Nair... not much into movies myself either, but I have seen some, including hindi ones. And let me just tell you this "Mohabbatein" had nice songs and all but the movie sucked! People think I didn't get...
