Does somebody know why they translated the book from Glennkill into Three Bags Full?? I never understand why puplishers always change titles so much...

I use postcards as bookmarks, they're so big that the books opens more easily at the page I left it.
I put the postcard in the back of the book while reading on the bus/train and beside me while reading at home.
If I don' have a postcard at the moment, I use what's handy eg plainticket, or something else that's a bit big because little bus tickets always tend to vanish while reading.
Books and pages never get bend!!
Gladly I can read everywhere, it doesn'matter if it's loud, but if there's a conversation that's louder than the others (on a train) and sticks out of the alltogether noise, I like to start my mp3 player, otherwise the conversation would distract me. With music it doesn't matter if it's instrumental or with singing, I can tune that out.

A book about sheep detectives in Ireland.
I don't know whether the author is Irish or not, but either way it says it all about Ireland.
I think the author's german.
I've read Glennkill some weeks ago and thought it was quite boring. Nothing really happens and to "watch" the sheep figure things out gets really annoying after a short while. I think the idea (sheep solving a murder) is good but the way it's put on paper didn't do anything for me. And I totally didn't like the twist in the end...

Welcome to the forum Rosalind! So many languages, not bad!
I stick to german and english. I tried to read dutch but never gotten around to learn it. -
I liked Inkheart, the idea is great and everything! But the story should have stopped with the first book imo. The 2nd book got quite boring and the 3rd is really really boring. I couldn't finish it. And I always finish my books!

(oh dear, now I'm buying multiple editions of books - I think I really do have a problem!)
I do the same
well almost, some books that I really like and own the german edition of it, I also get them in english (if that's the original language of the book). -
Just finished Breaking Dawn, so that's the entire Twilight series in 48 hours.
How did you do that? Those are quite big books, I'm excited if I can finish one of them in 48 hours...

I'm waiting for my turn at the book ring...

If I read books in german I put the english title in parentheses, so you guys know which book it is (if there is an english title).

I just got the second book on monday for my birthday. And it was really good. I was way too fast through with it, unfortunately. Can't wait for the third one to be published (I read this series in german).

sorry!
better?

Nightswallow by Bronwen Winter Phoenix and Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong sound quite good, I'll put them on my list...
-
It's the first Dan Brown book that I've read. It started very boring with all this computer talk (which I know nothing about) but it got better towards the end.
I definately think that the book could have ended, when the professor guy's almost dead and pulls out the ring. That would have been the perfect ending imo. Why did the book need two (or so) more chapters?
-
I read the first two books and really liked them. Of course they
-
oh my god! I can't believe it! I'm still reading "Brisingr".
I'm stuck with this book for 4 weeks now, at least. There are still 150 pages left and it's driving me insane.
-
I've read both books and liked them. They're very easy to read, quick to finish. Something fun for inbetween.
-
That is a really nice idea for a challenge, I might do yhat sometime myself when I'm back home.
-
Mostly I just read one, but sometimes a book that sounds more interesting crosses my way and then I read two books. But never more.
I voted 2

Well I'd definately keep the bag ... might be worth something someday!
lol, no... I definately need to get rid of all those books, they're way to heavy to travel with!! I don't know, my brain seems to shut down when I see a bookshop. I just start buying even though I know that I have to carry them with me where ever I go...

Right now I have my books in a Woolworths Chiller Bag right next to my Hostel bed. That's the life of Backpacking books

I've got the german edition, the english edition and the dvd at home. I like the story and the way it's told. It kinda gets you.
-
The story sounded so good, but what the author made of it didn't met my expactations. I would have liked to know more about McCandless time in Alaska and not about whoever else. With no further diary material he couldn't write more but then, they should have put it on the book, that it's not totally about McCandless.
I didn't see the movie yet, but I would like to. I guess it might be better than the book.

You guys should definately read Kai Meyer (german author) books, there are a few available in english. He's just a great writer!

I love this show!! They showed it only 2 times in germany, once in 1997 and once in 1999. The second time I recorded almost every episode on video and was soooo glad when it came out on dvd a couple of years ago. My videos went partly black and white and stuff.
