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.

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)
