Hemingway? Mountains, Austrians.. sounds like .. ehm I don't know the original title, in italian is Addio alle armi, something like "Goodbye to the arms". I'm ashamed of my ignorance, but I do'ìt want to google it, it'd be cheating.

I'm halfway through Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Safran Foer. What have I done?! It's wonderful, but I'm crying so much.. maybe I'm getting old and oversentimental. Not Christmassy at all.
A Christmas Carol is waiting under my pillow, anyway

That's amazing!! There are a lot of Da Vinci's creations built only in recent times, but this is one of the most fascinating. Thank you very much for posting it.

When I was 10 years old our teacher talked about him in class. He had just won the Nobel for Peace and she thought we children should know about his life, his experience and his achivements. That day I decided he was my hero and I decided the guidelines a person should follow to be considered a hero. Mandela was a hero, an inspiration, a guide. I missi him. May he rest in peace.

No, I haven't listened In Flames before.. but I just put them on downolad
Thanks honey! When you finish with Road Salt Two (which is a great album) try Remedy Lane.. that is masterpiece. -

Great song, thank you!! -
Yes it is. And having Serj Tankian singing in your ears while you're jogging is like a real rush of adrenaline. Lovely!

Hello Anna, welcome!!
Has your name here anything to to with the Counting Crows song??

It could just be me Eleanora, it gets pretty good reviews overall. I'm struggling to read at all at present so I might not be the best judge.
Maybe next time, Chalie, I'll give it a try. But I usually trust your advice, so.. Let's see.
I'm reading Timeline, Michael Crichton, at the moment. I'm enjoying it so far.

I've go to chapter 5 of The Drop, It sounds better than page 38.
yeah, sounds much better, Dex!!Started and gave up on Mary Horlock's Book of Lies, I was never going to enjoy her way of writing! Think I will go on Newes from the Dead now.
I saw Book of Lies in my library. But there was something that just didn't catch me.. now I know I won't give it a chance
-
Oh, add to the list of the "places I have to visit, absolutely, now!!" It's so wonderful!! Thanks Chrissy.

Interesting!! I should follow those advice and finally have more of one photo taken.
Just joking.. but the article and the video are really interesting.

I loved The Snow Child, Athena! It's a little slow at the beginning, but then it just turns wonderful. Hope you'll like it.

"To be born again," sang xxxx xxxx tumbling from the heavens, "first you have to die. Hoji! Hoji! To land upon the bosomy earth, first one needs to fly. Tat-taa! Taka-thun! How to ever smile again, if first you won't cry? How to win the darling's love, mister, without a sigh?"
