I also like dragons. They are so majestic, they have so much pride, they are individuals, almost aristocratic and don't care much for the present times and the world around them. They are well described in the saga of Ursula Le Guin. But generally my favourite myth creatures are three...

I do read lots of books (though I don't read as quickly as I wished I did), but I actually can't remember reading anything more than 2 times. Let me think... I can read my favourite poetry, I mean Charles Baudelaire over and over again, I mean Les Fleurs du Mal and Le Spleen de Paris. As for...

Ii was the same with me. apparently the style of Silmarillion is not like in action books, one has to have proper approach to it. For my it is read just like Bible - not very exciting, but full of charm. As for me, I read "The Lord Of The Rings" in Polish and in English, 'The Hobbit', and...

Actually Gandalf shows no fireballs (at least in books), and I think it's rather that his magnitude as a wizard does not consist on throwing spells or so, but on his great wisdom. In one book I've read that Gandalf is some kind of Middle Earth's angel.

Hi! So we both have sth in common, because I am here for the first time since June or July. And I haven't unfortunately been working on any book, so I congratulate you for your success. Actually, what made me visit this forum again was a nice letter from administration with Birthdays Wishes. So...

Sword of Aragorn, The Sword That Was Broken - don't beat me, but I can't remember its name. But it's a dangerous one, because is always sharp.

On one hand the idea of writing comments in books is great - as you say, reading books become real active activity. But I like my books to be clean and in perfectly good state - I have kind of obsession on that point. But as I read book, I usuallly write comments in my small notebook. That's the...

I am reading now the book that nearly everybody knows about, but nearly nobody have read it - "Frankenstein". Yeah, it isn't easy to read. Firstly, because it dates from the 1816 or some years later; and secondly, because Mary Shelley had written it at the age of 18... I am not implying that I...

Where have you taken it from? It's hard, really. For whom is that test?

Thanks knivesout for promoting Polish writers :). I was recently a host on a con and we (me and my group) had the luck Jacek Dukaj has arrived as a guest. I was leading a meeting with him - I just asked him some questions when people didn't want to. And I must admit he's very wise man with sense...

23.66864% - Geek. Just geek. I am very sorry for my ignorance, but what does it actually mean: "geek"? Am I to be happy or not...? I'm quite confused :cool:

I've read Silmarillion, I had no problem with it and I like it. It is a bit old fashioned, I agree with that, but there is a charm of mitilogy in it. Actually, I've met many people who say Silmarillion is their favourite book. There is sth in it, sth probably not clearly to be seen at first...

Is it possible I am the only Vampire here? Well, there are not so many of us, probably. You know, the light. Now I know why I like cold countries where nights are long... Sorry for interruption. Go on, maybe there is sb from my family.

Minas Tirith

I am also Cat Who Walks Through Walls. What does it mean? Am I good or bad character?

Ha ha ha. Bur when there will be cheap airlines like these in Europe, who knows... :)

I love cold too! And long nights - you have long nights in Canada, don't you? But I am not fond of wearing t-shirt in winter... strange hobby. Wildlife on my doorstep would also be a good idea. Ok, guys, we're going to Canada. I'm so bored with my city...

Is it still actual? I'd like to give my favs: Soul Music Wyrd Sisters Pyramids Guards! Guards! Reaper Man Do not read Equal Rites at first. I gave it to my brother that didn't know Pratchett and he didn't like it. For me it was not funny at all. My friend has made a guide to Pratchett's...

I've once found a demo of one game. I think it was based on "Guards! Guards!", but I don't know actually. It started in the university and I was playing with Rincewind. It was very funny, even more than books, but I didn't manage to do much in that game. My favourite character is Death. Others...
