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.

Bye bilana

QUOTE (Simonetta @ 25.Oct.2006 - 18:33)
And if you want to read a really good lesbian novel, check out "Stir-Fry" by Emma Donoghue (which I'm just re-reading for the third time!!).

... which I've still got on my bookshelf to look forward to! :bounce:

If it's anywhere near as good as "Slammerkin" and, in particular, "Life Mask", it'll be wonderful...

Oh I envy you...

In my opinion, Stir-fry is sooo much better than anything else Emma D. has ever written. (But I must admit I never finished Slammerkin because, please don't be upset about this, but.... :roetel: historical novels totally bore me... :roetel: )

QUOTE (Pippilotta@25.Oct.2006 - 19:25)
So... Simonetta... what's Stir-Fry about? Maybe you can give an itsy-bitsy summary? Would be nice


Well, rainbow was so kind as to post the link, so that will provide you with basic info about the plot. What could I add? It's a book you really want to snuggle into, it's sooo cozy inside... :) Right at the beginning when Maria (the protagonist) meets Ruth - one of her future flatmates - for the first time, Ruth's smile is described as "warm as toast" which pretty much captures the atmosphere and the warmth which radiates from the book. When I read it for the first time, I was actually living in Ireland, but my room situation wasn't so nice. :blink:. Reading "Stir-fry" was like sneaking up a winding-stair into this comfy flat of Ruth and Jael's and living there, too- sort of like a stowaway. :D

QUOTE (Pippilotta@25.Oct.2006 - 19:25)
And the book by M. Haddon... isn't that the one who is autistic and writes about the neighborhood dog?? (I think I had a look at it a couple of weeks ago and found it kind of interesting)


That's the one!

QUOTE (schneeland@25.Oct.2006 - 22:26)
"Extremly loud and incredible close" has been on the list for a while. So I'll keep that in mind too. How did you like his writing, Simonetta?


I LOVE his writing!! There used to be a thread on him on the literature board started by Pippilotta, but I can't find it anymore... Where has it disappeared to? Admins, please :help: !

In the meantime, maybe you want to have a look at this interview to get to know him a bit more?

Enjoy!
