I like reading biographies because it's always interesting to read something about a person you admire. But they really have to be well written, not just pages of plain facts.
One which I thought...

I haven't read 'real' Proust yet but I'm planning to do that...someday...when I'll have enough time, I guess... :)
However, I read How Proust can change your life last year and I loved it!
It...

I guess I'm a lucky person: I think I liked almost all the authors I've read so far. Or maybe I just don't know enough about their life and beliefs.
I usually value author's work not biography,...

I admit that when I was reading Gone with the wind I felt that Rhett Butler was described in such a way that he just had to attract you :p
That was a year ago actually but I was still 16 then :D

I'm reading Anna Karenina at the moment and I must say I really like it.
I think that it is the best love story I've read so far.
Gone with the wind didn't impress me that much although I liked it....

Well...I don't organise them. I simply put them where there is enough room for them :p
My mom organise them sometimes but I don't know how. She has her own order. :)

I hate these language limitations! :mad:

I read some books in English (and something little in French) but just the easy ones, short stories and poetry. Now my English is at least that good I...

Vladimir Bartol's Alamut changed my point of view about Arabian world.

Alain de Botton's How Proust can change your life? changed my perspective on life and also literature.

Virginia Woolf's...

Favorite author: Hermann Hesse
Reason: He's just great and he has such a brilliant style of writing. I also learned a lot from his books.
Favorite book: Steppenwolf

Favorite poet: Poe
Reason:...

The most boring book I've ever read is Don Quixote. It was a torture for me to read it till the end. I admit that it has some parts that are quite ok but it is really boring as a whole. For me of...

I'm not from US and I can say that the problem is the same here in Slovenia and Europe in general I think. Some of my classmates think I'm kind of strange because I love to read and it's not such a...

I feel great today, actually I've been feeling good all week.
I don't worry about school anymore, I'm reading a good book, listening to some good music, have fun with my friends and just enjoying...

the new pornographers-my right versus yours

I've read Le petit prince by Saint-Exupery at least seven times because it impressed me so much when I was still a little girl and I just can't forget it. I'm reading it right now but in French. :)...

Definitely H.Hesse's Steppenwolf, V.Woolf's Mrs.Dalloway and M. Cunningham's The Hours.
Also Crime and Punishment, because it talked about ideas I had never thought about before.
And S.Plath's...

When I was young (and stupid :p) I did not understand people who read more books at a time. I thought that you can't be fully devoted (I hope that's a right word) to one book if you're reading more...

Biffy Clyro - Machines
simply love this song :)

I don't have a lot of time because I have so much work to do for school. And then I am happy if I read a book or two in a month. And even these books are usually just books for homereading, so again...

I admit that I almost cried at the end of Gone with the wind. :blush:
The Bell jar by Sylvia Plath and Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse were also quite depressing at some moments. :(

The end of...

''Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.''

Sylvia Plath, Lady Lazarus

Well I really don't know many internet sites about translations of slovene literature but I found this one and I hope it will be useful for you:
...

If you're interested in slavic literature, slovene literature could be interesting too. Our literature isn't well known but we have some very good authors.
I personally like Ivan Cankar's short...

I like novels more than poems but I still have a few favourite poems:

E.A.Poe - The Raven, Alone
Sylvia Plath - Lady Lazarus, Never try to trick me with a kiss, Last words

That happened to me too. I didn't like the beginning of M. Cunningham's The Hours but I still read it. Now it's one of my favorite books.

It happens. :) And if your intuition says you have to...

I think Hermann Hesse should definitely be on the list... :)
