Well, on the old board I realised, that I was complaining about a dying thread in exactly this thread, which I thought would have died.
A little thread in English is definitely required in the kitchen as well. So someone has to start it...me... But what talking about? All real topics are already covered with the other boards. One topic was Björk, wasn’t it? Has someone already listened to her new album? How is it? A couple of days ago I watched some Videos with ST Voyager episodes, which I haven’t seen yet. It was in English and I thought wow. What about Captain Janeway/ Kate Mulgrew? What a voice! And how she can modulate it (and manipulate other people with it)! Gorgeous! I never realised what a talented actor she is. Has onyone else seen Voyager in the original version? The synchronised version is really lacking.

Oh well I'm no patient novel reader. So a novel really must mean something to me, that I'm going to read it. I like more short stories or non-fictional stuff. Still the most intriguing stories are told by life itself.
But I just love South Asia, so I read such novels now and then. Amitav Gosh’s writing is epic, much history is in there, but really easy to read, quite enchanting. At least Gosh is well-known in the western world I think. Roy is different. I found her difficult to read, because her characters where of Malayalam origin. I have no feelings about Malayalam names. They don’t tell me gender or age, like a European or Hindi names would do. So it was difficult to keep track with her many characters. Also she has a real weird approach to language. Rewriting would be as ridicules to her as re-breathing. And the good thing about not knowing the rules of writing is, you don’t bother to break the rules. After reading her book I’m sure it is not exaggerated at all. And then she has a typical Indian way of story telling. However she managed to win some serious prizes with the novel. It reflected life of women in rural India and the language might be one part of it. Oh yeah and she has written down the story of a very famous Indian feminist, called the Bandit Queen. I’ll read it after I have recovered from her first book. As for Abi Subedi, he is a Nepalese play writer. He is like Shakespeare in England, except Subedi is still very much alive. Everyone knows him, but outside the country he is not know at all. So if you want to get the real hindi-feeling without being able to read Hindi, English is the first choice. However, I don’t distinguish between easy and not easy reads, but between interesting ready and not interesting reads. And sometimes the most profane writings are interesting to me (like the last ST Voyager short story collection) and sometimes it is something else. The main point is an intriguing story, then I’m even willing to wrestle through the most absurd writing styles, but if the story is boring, smooth writing won’t help to make me read it through. Oh and no, I haven’t the CDs yet. I would have to push an elderly lady, which I would never dare. ;) I already suspect I'll love these ones for the voice, but will be never become a fan of audio books, but I'll let you know, when I got the chance to listen to them. Greetings. |
