Univerze

About 100-150 pages of The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan today, read while sitting in the sun.. ahh bliss.

Ow, not too far from me then, I live in Gelderland, of course you know Nijmegen, with the Vierdaagse.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.. Great, as always.

Welcome!! You'll find this a lovely place to be, I sure do. And your reading tastes are like mine, fantasy's my first love, and I also love the classics. Not too big a fan of thrillers though.. But yeah, hope you have fun here!

Well, so? Me too, atheist or agnostic I'd call myself. But still, I pick up books like Umberto Eco's In the Name of the Rose. I mean, it's fiction. I read Harry Potter, books about elves etc. If you consider books that involve religion another sort of fiction, they're readable. Doesn't go for everyone, but if you don't read books just because they involve religion, there's lots you can't read right?

Oww lovely, I still have both their CDs somewhere, used to love their music, and I had the biggest crush on the singer. Can never remember if he was Darren or Daniel. Listening to Marilyn, My Bitterness by the Cruxshadows. <3

I don't know any books that scare me. There are few films that do, but books, never. They can creep me out, but I have never been scared of any book (since I wasn't a kid anymore that is).. so don't know if you'll succeed, good luck hee hee.

Hmm, I don't know, I know the female was able to communicate with the humans, but can't remember the rest. Mind you, I was like 11 max when I read this. 17 years ago. And it's not one of those Larry Niven books. I don't like his style anyway, and those cats in the book I (we) mean were not doing interstellar travel or anything I think, just like tribal villages etc. Not reached that level of technology yet.

Hee hee I'd throw it away. But I'm fast to do that if I don't trust food anymore, don't want to end up with any kind of food poisoning. So I usually try to buy so little of something it gets finished in a few days. Or just throw it out.

Nope, it doesn't, and I have checked but I can't seem to find the book amongst hers. If only there would be a proper site with all book covers. @dvaessen: that book cover does sound familiar. If I am not mistaken, these cat like creatures had this sort of hook on the end of their tails, like, a bony hook. Ring a bell?

Oh we have two sorts of teabags, one for one cup of tea, and the other for a whole pot. But honestly, we barely know teapots here for real use, try to find a teacozy here, pff. Hard quest.

Finally started book 4 in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.. the Shadow Rising. Ahh is good to get back to this world.

We call it Rooibos.. I like it lots. Also nice when there's stuff added to it, you have it in several tastes. Including honey, but am not a fan of honey. Just drink it when I have a sore throat. I love coffee, and hate de-caf, so could never not drink caffeine. Also, we here don't drink tea with milk. Ever. Just sugar. Lemon, also not much here, in iced tea yes, but not in hot tea. I learned to drink tea with milk with a friend in the UK, and learned why you guys HAVE to have milk in it.. you make your tea way stronger! We just dip the teabag in water for a little while, don't leave it in there for minutes! Oh, and why don't you guys have teabags with strings on it, way easier.

You kidding? I thought it was dull and very little about it was unnerving, so little actually that I remember not much of it, if I have to describe what stuch by me best of that book is "grey".. landscapes, people, and, unfortunately, also grey as is kinda boring. That's just me though, have heard loads loving it. I have to agree on H.P. Lovecraft. He has the same atmosphere of other-worldliness, things that are so horrible they ruin the mind forever. I don't like there are just short stories by him, but they are good none the less.

I love tea, especially when I'm sick of coffee hee hee, happens sometimes, plus I never drink coffee after dinner time. I love green tea, and have several, with mint, or with papaya and some other exotic fruit, that's great. Peppermint tea, or rooibos are some of my favs too. Earl Grey, sometimes. Cherry and cinnamon tea, love all things cherry and cinnamon sooo.. oh and melon tea, with cantaloupe melon is good for summer days. I love the tea they call "morrocco" over here, it's got cinnamon and peppermint, thought that would be a disgusting combo, but it's actually nice, if you're in the mood for it. I love so many teas, I think I might have like 20 different kinds, I really love fruit teas and green teas so there's lot of choice. However what I just can;t stand are teas that have some sort of flower in them. Jasmin, Rose, you name it. I tried, but just makes me feel like I am drinking perfume, especially since I had both Jasmin and Rose perfume in the past. So no flower teas for me. Anyone know how (eglantine) rose hip tea (what a weird name, we call it rozenbottel) tastes? Is it flowery?? Have been meaning to try but am a little hesitant.

Are you sure this isn't it? I mean I googled the synopsis (yes, the entire thing) and over and over, from different sites you just get the book you mentioned. Otherwise I have no idea.

If it's the book Crissy mentions it's not the book I am thinking about, but I might have the same problem, can it be that this book's a kid's book, or YA? It rings a bell, is this on a world where there are storms with very high wind velocities, the book I read might have been on Jupiter (I know there's no life possibly there but the book pretends it's different than what we know of it). Anyway.. although the energy levels etc and aerial creatures don't sound familiar, it's possible I have been looking for this book for ages too. Also, read it in Dutch. Are we sure it's not a Dutch book? I know dutch sci-fi is rare, but still.

^A bruise, really? I tried those but they didn't work for me, no bruise but barely half of my hair removed. Now I epilate with one of those little devices, those machines? It hurts yes, but it's worth it. I learned that maybe I am more mature than I thought. Was rethinking the chat I had with my friend when we went into town today. We chatted over tea, and thinking back that was quite an adult convo. Hee hee.

Let me give the link, since I don't feel up for giving a proper definition myself.. I didn't think of the term either, and think it's sort of silly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_fantasy

Dvd 4 and 5 of season 8 of the X-files. Me loves X-Files. I've got such a big thing for Mulder.

The Neverending Story. No doubt, even though it's nowhere really true to the book, I have read the book several times already too, but this movie is my childhood classic. I haven't seen the Princess Bride, I know, it's horrible I haven't.. it's in my dvd cabinet, I bought it last year but haven't gotten around to watching it. I love Black Books too, so funny.

Just The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees? Not Clan of Xymox, Bauhaus (some in the 80s), Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim and ehh.. there's probably more. Ahh, how can I forget Depeche Mode?? Listen to them frequently. I love most of these.. So the 80's is good. Love the feel of this music, so different from these days.. though I love the 2000's too, lots of great bands, and there still are so the 2010s will be good too. Not a big fan of the 90's. Though there's probably some good music in each decade, I don't know much older music than the 70's or something, I know it, but don't listen to it. Then again I was born in 1982 so..

^No I agree, I refuse to read more Dan Brown, I didn't LOVE the films, but thought they were okay, I tried to read the DaVinci Code and didn't get very far cause it bored the heck out of me.
