2010-01-22 [Viking]: You zipped through American Gods pretty quickly!

2010-01-22 [All_Most PUNK]: I read about 200 pages a day :D

2010-01-22 [Viking]: That's hardcore! So...where are your reviews?

2010-01-23 [All_Most PUNK]: I called in sick to work the last two days of the week, that helped. I'll try to write a couple short ones in the next couple days.

2010-01-23 [Viking]: Excellent!

Though I hope you're better now.

2010-01-23 [All_Most PUNK]: I'm ok, I was never sick. I called in sick yesterday because I didn't feel like going. So, they sent me the job doctor (who doesn't even check you, just makes sure that you are home) and she decided to give me 48 hours instead of 24.

2010-01-23 [Viking]: Nice!

2010-01-28 [Easterling]: They send over a doctor who doesn't even check you?

2010-01-28 [All_Most PUNK]: They send over a doctor just to check that you are home and not skipping work just because. If you want a doctor to cure you, you have to call one yourself.

2010-01-29 [Easterling]: But you were skipping work just because, weren't you?

2010-01-29 [All_Most PUNK]: Weeeelll... kinda >>

2010-01-29 [Easterling]: Everyone has days like that... (I think.. I sure do, anyway)

2010-01-29 [windowframe]: *prods Pubky to write a review* <_<

2010-01-30 [All_Most PUNK]: Reviews are ebil!

When I'm back.

*prods Silvie to make her moves in the Lexolous games on FB*

2010-01-31 [windowframe]: Ag! Crap! Sorry, sometimes it doesn't notify me that it's my turn. -_-

2010-02-12 [All_Most PUNK]: I just sent you two FB messages about that :P

2010-02-12 [All_Most PUNK]: BTW, it seems I killed Salinger. Hope nobody minds.

2010-03-22 [Easterling]: And you wrote it in Swedish! <3

2010-03-23 [All_Most PUNK]: Of course! :D It's the best languaje to use in this case.

Questions, what would be the exact translation of the title? Because the English and Spanish translations are very different.

2010-03-23 [Easterling]: Yeah, I know. In English it's called "The girl with the dragon tattoo" of course, as you know, and in Spanish "Hombres que no ama las mujeres"

In Swedish it means "Men who hate women" and I think it's a much stronger title than the first one, and also because the first book is about more than only Lisbeth Salander and her story. So the Spanish one is closer the original, but I don't understand why they've translated it to "Men who doesn't love women".

2010-03-23 [All_Most PUNK]: Through the book Lisbeth several times talks about men who don't love women, instead of men who hate them. I'm not sure how it is in the original book, if she talks about hating them or about not loving them.

2010-03-25 [Easterling]: She talks about men who hate women in the original version. I remember I asked JP about this, if the expression "doesn't love" does sound stronger than it does in my Swedish ears. But I don't know. :P

2010-03-25 [Linderel]: 'Don't love' sounds pretty apathetic. Like the men in question are indifferent.

2010-03-25 [All_Most PUNK]: I think that it wants to give the idea that loving women is or should be the regular state, the normal situation, and these men are out of the normal (which they definitely are). Not loving is an negative way to put it, one in opposition, instead of the positive hate way.

2010-03-25 [Linderel]: Or if we were only going with the title, ignoring the contents... if they don't love women, do they love other men? <_<

Okay, I'll shut up now. :P

2010-03-25 [Easterling]: I thought so, too, Linderel, when I saw the Spanish translation of the title. But I guess it works in the Spanish language, otherwise they wouldn't have decided to use that title. *shrugs*

2010-03-25 [All_Most PUNK]: Actually, saying that they don't love women doesn't imply anywhere that they love men :P

2010-03-26 [Linderel]: Of course it doesn't, but as you might recall, I'm a slasher.

2010-03-26 [All_Most PUNK]: Ah, right, a pervert.

2010-03-26 [Easterling]: What book is the latest one? x)

2010-03-26 [All_Most PUNK]: Willy Breinholst is a danish humorist that wrote a series of books that tell the story of a little kid since he's in the womb and advancing. They are pretty funny. The one I just read covers the first year of the kid's life.

http://www.willybreinholst.com/

2010-03-26 [Easterling]: “If H.C. Andersen were alive today, he’d be green with envy over Willy Breinholst’s world wide success!” xD

And I didn't even know who he was... :)

2010-03-26 [Easterling]: Correction: I did know. I have one of his books right here.

2010-03-26 [All_Most PUNK]: Which one?

2010-03-26 [All_Most PUNK]: Also, he wouldn't be very envious: Berinholst died last year.

2010-03-30 [Viking]: Wow, you read a book by Ed Greenwood. I tried that once and almost gouged my eyes out with a spatula. It was bad. So very, very bad...

2010-03-30 [All_Most PUNK]: It's my second one, actually. Or third. All of them are horrible, terrible bad.
I read a couple like 10 years ago (basically, back then, I read what I could find since I still didn't know to which bookstores I had to go to get novels in English and couldn't order via Amazon).
I downloaded a pack of books from the Internet that included most of the Forgotten Realms novels in it, so I decided to torture myself a little. It was bad. I'll probably read more, though, since I seem to find some pleasure in it.

2010-04-08 [Easterling]: It was a book about marriage. It wasn't very good. I'm giving it away.

2010-05-02 [Mirime]: I don't know where you've found time to read 44 books so far this year :(

2010-05-05 [All_Most PUNK]: Well, remember that I had my summer vacation and in the trip to Chile I read about 5. Also, I read on the bus, during lunch and sometimes at night. Oh, and while I walk :P

2010-05-12 [Mirime]: Ah, I could never get the hang of reading while I walk. (And I do homework during lunch and at night :P)

2010-05-17 [All_Most PUNK]: I have the hang of it because I've been doing it all my life. It's like riding a bike or some other obvious comparison like that ;)

(Ah, I have the advantage of not doing schoolwork :P )

(I have no credit on my phone. I promise text message as soon as I get some, which should be the 22nd)

2010-11-17 [Mirime]: Were you reading a book in French? :o

2010-11-18 [All_Most PUNK]: Of course! I'm multilingual! :D

_{Actually, no, it was the Spanish version :(}

2010-12-24 [windowframe]: :O Seducer's Diary? That's totally cheating. :P

2010-12-24 [All_Most PUNK]: Errr? Why is it cheating? O_o

2010-12-24 [windowframe]: Because it's an extract from Either/Or, it just often gets published separately (probably because it's the most interesting/simple bit for non-philosophy people to study)

2010-12-25 [All_Most PUNK]: Ah, because of that!

You called me simple! :O

2010-12-25 [windowframe]: No, I called the text simple. :P I call you a FASCIST!

2010-12-26 [Akayume]: Only one more! *fanfare* you can do eeeeet!

2010-12-27 [All_Most PUNK]: Why did you call the text a FASCIST? :O

I can!

2010-12-30 [windowframe]: You did!

2011-01-03 [Mirime]: Wow, you read a lot! I was just 5 short but considering I spent most of the year not reading, that's ok with me :P I joined up on LibraryThing and I think I'll keep track of the books I read in 2011-- it's fun to look back at what I've read over the year :)

2011-01-09 [All_Most PUNK]: In retrospective, they do seem like a lot of books xD
And I didn't count university things, since they are not full books.

What is library thing?

And do you know Books for a better world?

2011-01-17 [Mirime]: http://www.librarything.com/ --- but I haven't had much time on the internet recently, anyway :P

*looks up books for a better world online* :)

2011-01-18 [All_Most PUNK]: Let's see what this is about.
I noticed. Traveling around, uh?

It's www.betterworldbooks.com
Maybe for those of you in the states it isn't as interesting, but for me the free international shipping things is like a present from the gods themselves :3

I joined Librarything :)

2011-01-21 [Mirime]: Awesome! Find me, I'm carla_cat :) Haven't had time to list what I've read yet though.... now I can't remember everything :/

2011-01-22 [All_Most PUNK]: I just started adding books that I have. I will add books as I read them, I guess. Adding all the ones I have on my shelves may be a lot of work xP

Added you! I still don't fully know how the sites works or all its features.

We share one book only, so far.

2011-01-24 [Mirime]: Yay :) yeah, I am just kind of adding things as I think of them. You can also search for authors and click on their names to go to an 'author page', where you can add them as a favorite ^_^

2011-04-02 [All_Most PUNK]: And can you, somehow, add many books at the same time? I mean, from different authors.

2011-04-02 [Mirime]: If you just searched for the author's name, a whole list would come up that you could choose from. It still takes a while though, I think.

2011-04-03 [All_Most PUNK]: Oh, well, I'll go adding more books when I have a little more free time :)
