I haven't read Middlesex but I really liked The Virgin Suicides. I've seen the movie and read the book in german aswell as in english. I even own all three things, so that has to mean something, right?!

I will put that book on my to be read list. Thanks

Roderick Gordon & Brian Williams - Tunnel (Tunnels) Synopsis from Waterstone's Fourteen-year-old Will Burrows lives with his family in London. He has little in common with them except for a passion for digging which he shares with his father. When his father suddenly disappears down an unknown tunnel, Will decides to investigate with his friend Chester. Soon they find themselves deep underground, where they unearth a dark and terrifying secret - a secret which may cost them their lives. My thoughts The story sounded very interesting but I couldn't really get my head around the writing style or better the way the authors describe everything (eg the scenerie). I would have liked more detailed describtions of the underground world. And was completely unnecessary. Also the (they're called like that in the german edition) were just to weird, they could have been more interesting. Rating: 3/5

Stephen King - Sie (Misery) Synopsis from Waterstone's After a car crash, writer Paul Sheldon is saved by his number one fan, Annie Wilkes. She brings him home, splints his mangled legs, and all he has to do in return is write a very special book, one all about her favourite character. Because if he doesn't, if he is bad, she will be cross - very cross. My thoughts The book had me completely hooked and I couldn't put it down. I just had to know what would happen next, how far would Annie go, how long could Paul last ... Last night I had to stop myself from reading at 2 in the morning (I have to sleep at some point), which is quite a rare occasion. I was completely surprised by this book, because I didn't like the other King books that I've read. Rating: 5/5

Lucky you!! I would love to go to concert of his, but well, he won't come to germany...

How could I forget this movie?? I love Cruel Intentions, I saw it at least 5 times at the movie theatre

I totally love Xavier Rudd Jonny Lang Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band Robert Randolph & the Family Band Joshua Kadison Nobody knows any of them here, except that one song (Jesse) from Joshua Kadison but they wouldn't know who that is.

I would say, in no special order: The 60s My Girl 1 & 2 Sweet November Almost Famous The Lake House The Notebook 50 first dates X men trilogy & wolverine Pirates of the carribean (all) Back to the future trilogy I love watching movies so there are definately more, but these are some that came to mind instantly.

I walked out af a german movie "Das merkw

July was a good month, quantity wise, in reading books. 12! For this month, my hopes lie in the quality not the quantity. I will see how that'll turn out. I really need some good books... Yesterday I finally started The Camel Bookmobile by Masha Hamilton, bookring by Chimera. Thank you Gyre!

That wouldn't be good! I'll probably set the alarm on my cellphone, just in case.

That's true! Book 1 & 2 arrived today and I will read them on the train to and from my job interview on tuesday/wednesday. I have this feeling these books are great to read on a train.

yeah, Family Tree wasn't good. I didn't like it at all. There are quite a few "bad" books on my list so far this year, which is a bit sad. I really need some 4/5 and even better 5/5 books!! Any recommedations?

I cracked 100 post and am now an "Avid Reader"

I voted for: Yes I've read it, and I love it! Can't help it

The Mentalist is a good show, I really like the main character, the way he behaves and everything. Oh and of course just look at those nice 3 piece suits... In Germany they show The Mentalist right after NCIS and imo NCIS is still better though.

The musical episode is awesome, all this singing and dancing Giles has the BEST voice, most definately! I even bought the soundtrack from Once more with feeling, because I couldn't get enough of this episode. Spike's song would be my favourite after Giles.
