About Me

reading: the diffusion of words through the eyes, into your head, trickling down to your soul. And stays there. Kind of like osmosis. If its a good book...that is.

  Wuthering Heights (even the title is bleak as is the story) When souls are one, but the ambitions are the divide. An unrelenting almost cruel story of true love. Relentlessly tragic, willingly tragic. Loved it. I mean, Vol 1 obviously better than Vol 2. But both are needed to complete the picture. But I think its one of the greatest love stories of all time.

Question of the Week - Question of the Week #14: Books You Hate

Ok. Read on here that Joseph Conrad is one of the hated writers. I kind of have to agree. His writing is pretty awesome taken in bits and pieces but his short story "Heart of Darkness" seemed like it was 1236 pages instead of 160 or whatever it was. And I still never really found out about Kurtz. Maybe its just me......

Question of the Week - Question of the Week #11: Your Questions

Best screenplay adaptation of an awesome book? Or maybe not so awesome book.......maybe the film was better than the book? (yeah, thats a tough one, can´t think of one myself, to be honest)

Question of the Week - Question of the Week #34: You: The Book

Gothic, thriller, never-know-whats-going-to-happen-next mystery comedy type of book. I think thats also know as a romance novel. So I am definitely expecting a happy end. Oh, and in paperback please. Easily transportable. And shows the wear and tear.
