Book Review - The Colour of Magic

The incompetent wizard Rincewind, directed the Unseen University, is an arrant coward. And yet it is Rincewind, the condemned is Zweiblum to accompany the first tourists to the Discworld, as a tour guide and protect. The two unlikely companions on a dangerous slide into the next and appear only with more luck than skill to get back out alive.

"The Colour of Magic" is a strange book, as this whole fantasy universe, the Discworld is completely slanted. Imagine only: the world is flat, resting on the backs of four elephants which in turn attached to the shell of the turtle are case-A'Tuin, which swims slowly through the interstellar ocean.

Someone once told me: either you love the Discworld books, or you can they can not stand. Well, my absolute favorite book is 'The Colour of Magic' certainly not, but it is definitely in the ranks of the books that I like very much.

alone completely off the details with which Terry Pratchett describes his world, and the absolutely weird humor, which often gave me loud fits of laughter while reading this book make it a very special one. So what was yet to come.

PD James The Murder Room (s )

Or the forum entry


Short Summary: The setting
of this excellent thriller by PD James is a small, peculiar museum in Hampstead. One of the trustees of the museum is being killed, but his murder is only the first in a row of three.

Interestingly, one room of the museum is called the 'Murder Room' showing pieces of evidence and other souvenirs of prominent inter-war murders.

Is the room of any importance to Commander Adam Dalgliesh's investigations?

I'm beyond help ...

I always knew it: BookCrossing is highly addictive. Today I couldn't resist: I had to go hunting for three books in a carpark of my district. It was worth it, I can assure you, for a number of reasons. ;-)


First of all: The Books:


1. Jane Eyre by Charlott Brontë
2. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
3. My little Blue Dress by Bruno Maddox


It isn't as if I was short of reading material. On the contrary my TBR-pile is constantly growing instead of decreasing. But anyway... It's addictive, I told you. ;-)

And then, BookHunting is always funny, as well:

So I went to the carpark. The book was well hidden on the ducting above a -luckily empty - carpark. Well, since it is above a carpark the ducting is relatively high, just below the ceiling. And so there I was, standing on tiptoes, carefully balancing, and blindly groping for any hidden books high above my head. Had to have been a funny sight.

In any case the carpark's cartaker came and asked whether I needed help, whether I had lost something or was looking for anything in particular. You can imagine how surprised he was when I told him that someone had hidden a book there on the dusty ducting in his carpark!

Well, but he wasn't at all negative about it. Even told me to give his regards to the sender of the book and tell him that he might also give the book directly to him so that he could forward it to the addressee. I think he enjoyed the surprsing evening encounter just as much as I did. *gg*

BookCrossing just is a lot of fun, guys!

Blue. What other colour could my soul possibly be painted? ;) Blue is my favourite colour. My eyes are blue, as is my car. "Blue are the feelings that live inside me..." Actually, I do like this meme pretty much. I can find myself in that description...

You might guess that there's only one song that I might be listening to right now.

And guess what? That song reminds me of a wonderful year: the year 1999.

1999 is the year I graduated from school, the year my goddaughter was born. I spent three great weeks in Ireland in 1999 and started my studies. It's the year of the eclipse, too, even though I couldn't really watch it here...

What a heap of reminiscences this little meme brought back right now. *gg*
Thank you, ferporcel , for the meme. That's been a great treat!

Film Review - The Namesake

Have you you ever thought about how you came by your name? Why have you called your parents 'Henning' or 'Judith', 'Franziska', 'Daniel', 'Chris' or 'Sebastian'? Does your way because your parents found the name beautiful?
Or is there a story behind it?
you might have a 'namesake' to which your parents thinking when they chose your name? Yes? Then it's a little as the young Nikhil "Gogol Ganguli.

'The Namesake', the title of the movie that I saw yesterday is, namely, in German 'The Namesake' and so is also the name of the exceptional young American, son of Bengali immigrants to the United States, in the heart of this wonderful film.

When the boy is born, his parents Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli only a short time in the United States and are not already familiar with American bureaucracy. So it happens that they can not wait two weeks with the naming of the letter to his grandfather arrives from Calcutta, as they had in mind it really. You have to give the boy a name immediately, and now is the little 'Gogol, after the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, who for the parents, especially his father Ashoke, has a special meaning. But for Gogol it is not always easy to bear that name ...

Even this little episode, so to speak, which is the starting point of the central thread of this film shows in many aspects, the film picks up again and again:

live as immigrants in a foreign country? How do they deal with an alien culture? As with their own and so-distant home? How are the children of the second generation? As they are rooted in the culture of their parents? Do they feel as an Indian? As an American?

I want to tell at this point not really too much to this movie offers much too much movement, surprising, and yes even funny.

Especially nice contrast between the two worlds, the warm, colorful, vibrant India and the cold, gray and dreary America is held at the beginning of the film in the image. Only towards the later, when the family einlebt in the new home, blurred this contrast. Very nicely designed.

Have a look at the film. 'The Namesake' is really worth seeing.
