OK, Sorry, just found it... Sorry, eventually I found it! It seems that there is no direct English translation but there is something similar by the same author here this is in English and had a much better mark by Amazon customers than the one in German. It seems a similar title but not the...

I would recommend to start from the first one. I picked the first one by mistake the first :) and I was very happy I did so. The books are made in series. Although they jump there in time, still some frame of reference should be kept for following the events :)

Hi, I am looking for a book which was written by a writer with east-european name (Czech or Polish or Yugoslavian, I do not remember exactly). The book in german edition was all red-colored. I do not even know if it had any English editions but I would believe so. The book tried to analyze...

By the way, it is my first time that I participate in a discussion of "the book of the month". Somehow I could not find what to say. So when I decided to post here (this time I had something to say about the Foer book), I looked in a history of the already discussed books. Astonishingly...

I quite liked this book. It is somewhat different. Oskar is very real one, not a fake. I liked that he "googled" a lot - this is what children (both old and young ;) ) are doing today to find information, do not they? I also regret that I did not have this book before I travelled to New York...

Wow! 330000000 sounds really A LOT! But anyways, I guess that all Hindu know at least the basic story - the world creation and the main Gods, do not they? Actually I am familiar with greek mythology and I know most of the Gods, their stories and their relations. I wanted to get familiar at...

Larry Niven's Ringworld Larry Niven's Ringworld - a Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Ditmar award-winning 1970 science fiction But it is better than it sounds here ;)

wow, that's sounds great! I was looking for something like Siddhartha for some time... Anyway thanks for suggestion, even if it will not be acceptable, it is now on my tbr.

Sorry I can not help either. But the reply above a bit amuzed me (nothing personal though:cool: ). Of cause one can google or search in online book shops but i guess that if a person asks for an advice it is because he looks for a recommendation - otherwise one can finish up with very boooooring...

I started to read because of Twain. He is awesome! As a kid, I could not stop laughing and my parents had to confiscate my books from my hands otherwise I would read and read and read forgetting about sleeping, doing homework or eating. My mom however was please with this fenomenon. She said...

Wow, that sounds really great! but in that link, it is said that the language is Hindi. Did you see it in english? Was it any good? The comments in IMDB were quite good, so the only obstacle would be to get it from somewhere and that it will be in one of the languages that I happen to understand...

Thanks! The puzzle is solved! How did you find that out? You also mentioned that you have some Ramayana books. Is it a translation? Can you recommend on a good one? Also if I remember correctly you once mentioned that there are not any movies on Indian mythology. Have you seen this one...

I read the "light and darkness" by Amos Oz. Sometimes it was very funny and sometimes very sad. I think that the translation is not very well done. It seems that in the original manuscript, the author played with words making funny sentences and forming new meanings but translation is...

"I, Claudius" by Robert Graves is a great book. "The Pity of It All" by Amos Elon was extremely interesting to read, although I would not call it a roman. It is written very well, brings very descriptively German history between 1740-1933, easy to read. enjoy :)

Our MSc student was finishing her thesis and had to give a talk about magnetism sometime ago. So the first slides in her talk were about flying frog and other objects in a magnetic field (no joke, it's a very complicated science!) Have a look on some recorded movies during the experiments...

Namaste Gem, Occlith and SFG75. Thanks for your replies. It is all very confusing. I followed a link by Occlith and again this reincarnation thing was the hardest. It is claimed that for help of Rama, Lord Brahma commanded some reincarnations: "Indra was reincarnated as Bali, Surya as...

You see, I do not have anything agains Palestinians. I would like to read a book about middle east, too. But now I was reading about India, and I am sorry, but it has NOTHING to do with palestinians. You can not push this poor nation in each and every context today just because it is fashinable...

Did it ever happen to somebody that he/she is reading a good book, enjoying it - and suddenly, two or three lines in it suddenly spoil your feeling about a book? Kind of a fly in the ointment? It happened to me with the "city of Djinns" by W. Dalrymple. I was happily reading the book...

Sometime ago I was searching for a film on Indian Deities here. In that thread I was suggested to post a new thread on Indian Gods, so that through discussion it might be easier to understand the Indian Mythology. I gladly accepted this idea - and here I start with a question on my two...

I am jealous that you write your dissertation on books that you read! That is a REAL mixing of a hobby with a career! I have to write mine about the hobby of God, actually. About Nature and how it works at molecular and atomic levels. I guess that the Creator just laughs somewhere high in skies...
