    Thanks for the LibriVox link! I didn´t know that one until now!

    What Are You Reading

    How good it has been (and still is), having a bit of time for reading during the holidays! Recently I finished The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen (a fine novel, but with one or two weak points) and right now I´m reading Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte) and Dracula :eek: (Bram Stoker) - the...

    FYI: Weird fiction/horror writer HP Lovecraft (the guy to the left of this post :) ) was born on August 20, 1890 (died March 15, 1937).

    Fountain pen users - what kind of paper??

    I have found that the paper of cheap stationery products sold at discount shops is actually better than that of some name-brand products. Might be different elsewhere, though... You can´t go wrong with Clairefontaine, it´s just kind of pricey for poor college students! :) And I´ve heard of...

    When Is Your Birthday?

    Well, I have learned that in accordance to the Chinese zodiac I´m a pig...which came as a great surprise, of course. ;)

    When Is Your Birthday?

    January 20, 1983. I don´t know of any events of historic importance on that date, but Audrey Hepburn (my favourite actress of all times) died exactly on my tenth birthday.

    Whadja get?!

    By far too much! :) That Twilight Zone DVD sonds mighty cool! My parents overdid it as usual and got me some books on art history and a quite pricey chronograph. Unfortunately it´s much too chunky for my matchstick wrists, but I have carte blanche to pick another one instead...makes me...

    Do you have a crush?

    For a golden age crush I´d have to say Audrey Hepburn too, definitely. Modern...I don´t know for sure. :o

    What Are You Reading

    Well, then I think I know now what I want for Christmas. :) The way you describe de Camp´s book resembles my impression to the T. He has his three or four theories about HPL and he´s in love with them so much and thus unable to let go of them. Sloppy is a word that comes to mind when I...

    What Are You Reading

    Curt, how do you like Joshi´s book so far? I´ve been thinking about getting it, but it´s kind of expensive here. I have read Sprague de Camp´s biography of Lovecraft, but IMO it wasn´t that good actually. A.

    Do You Carry A Lucky Talisman?

    It´s not a real talisman, just a mini pool ball my neice has bought for me in Italy.

    What Are You Reading

    The last book I´ve read was the autobiography of snooker player Ronnie O´Sullivan, which is a very fine read if you´re a fan of the game and the guy.

    One change for the week

    Been there, done that - and have stuck to it. It was a funny feeling to find out I wouldn´t have to die without all the caffeine. Doing new/different things for a week or so just in order to try them, is a seriously amazing way of changing some habits. I think I´ll replace chocolate...

    Correspondence - Find a Pen Pal

    I thought I´d just drop by and let everyone know how much I´m enjoying this project. Finding a letter from one of my correspondents in the mailbox is always a very nice surprise and the people with whom I´ve exchanged letters so far are among the kindest and most interesting I´ve ever...

    Do You Consider Yourself To Be An Artist?

    Am I an artist? I don´t think so. An artistic personality? Guess so. I seem to have various talents, but I must admit I´m lazy when it comes to honing my skills, which is kinda sad. :o The only things artistic I´m halfways serious about are writing and music (since some of the others...

    Signs of The Times - Astrology Thread

    Capricorn... ...and we´ve got our own tropic! :D Though I don´t believe in astrology the slightest bit that personality description fits me like a glove. http://www.astrology-online.com/capricorn.htm.;) My birthday is on January 20 by the way, so I was kinda late but still made it...
