Finished reading The World According To Garp and The Attack Of The Unsinkable Rubber Duck this August.

Garp:
Got this book borrowed by Julia. Good book but it's to dark imho. Also some stuff is made a big deal about, but was missing in the earlier chapters. Like the under toad bit.

Rubber Duck:
If you got problems with *%§$°-language, this book is not for you. I liked it very much. Guess I'll pick some of his other works as well. Get yourself a copy.

Books

Finished reading Triple by Ken Follet two weeks ago and noticed that I didnt bloged a thing so far. I liked it and can only recommend it. Its affordable 5 Euros on paperback and is a really good thriller.

This sure would also make good as a movie.

Twitter
----------
I am on twitter now. Mark Anthony and Koyama where both taken so I am Mark_Anthony.

Most lack of updates on my blog is because I think mhhh this is not noteworthy for a blog entry. Twitter jumps in this gap, quite well.

I hope it doesnt eat up the few spare time I got, just like studivz (german wannabe facebook) did in its early days. But I assume not. Twitter twitters all updates directly to my inbox and not like studivz leaves a message that something had happend and lures me to log in and waste hours of clicking through each groups forum.

update February sorry for the lack of update OK hmm
what happens last February?

Caught A Cold
I caught a cold and was all sneeze and had headache. Had tea. Lots of tea. Yummy tea.

Birthday
I had birthday and got a nice set of presents. My plan was to have one big present but oh well. Melanie thought it was time for me to have a proper jacket for the more freeze days. So I got a Jack Wolfskin North Country Men. Which is really cool. I'm happy that she convinced me because when it is rainy or stormy outside with this jacket it doesn't matter. you can even only wear t-shirts (might not work in Alaska I guess). My original idea of a big present was a Peugeot Evian pepper mill as I didn't wanted that they spend so much on presents for me... Now I got both. vouchers for the mill and a good jacket. Oh and my mum added Sapphire Gin and special haircare, and Julia added a kellnermesser and a cake. I made one to but it wasn't that yummy, but my chili con soy was. images tagged my birthday 2008.

Sneak
Been with Marianne to the sneak preview at Turm Palast. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story was on, could been worse. Hilarious Movie.
Rating: A-

Books
Finished reading Shadow Man by Cody MFadyen (one of the books I Got from Romans sister in law)
http://www.codymcfadyen.com/shadow_man.htm

Finished reading the Arnaldur Indriðason Book last week; was a good one.

Next in queue is the audio-book Eragon and Eragon II that I got from Elisabeth but so far I only like Mr Fröhlich (he reads it) but the story sounds to much of a bad LOTR mesh-up, Dragon riders for Nasguls, Eragon for Aragon/Frodo, one vile Emperor that governs a part of a land that was glorious in the past, elves from the west that guided men, forged and protected... stupid dark and evil creatures with a funny name, a massive war that lies in the past. And Eragon is to lead a host against the Emperor, but he wants to stay in the Shire, uh I meant with his uncle in the boonies. ... blah blah blah yada yada. Well maybe I should save this rant, I could change my mind since I'm not even half way through but so far the story is disturbing. Yet Elisabeth said so too, the story aint that good but the relationship between Eragon and the Dragon Sapphira is well, uh and don't watch the movie that sucks she said. Concerning the story I guess so too but lets see ... the movie has been degraded to tele-material due to her rating and the fact that there are a couple of movies that look promising.

On the Dead Wood Front I have Bryan Sykes’ “Keine Zukunft Für Adam” and Cody McFadden’s “Die Blutlinie” enqueued, which I got along with the Arnaldur Indriðason and Ken Follett books from Melanie (Nero’s sister-in-law)

Finished reading Ken Follett's Whiteout yesterday and now reading 'Gletscher Grab' by Arnaldur Indriðason as well from the stack of Melanie I got at Romans birthday.

I hope this one is as good as Whiteout, which was fun to read.

finished reading the silmrillion during my berlin trip and a book that elisabeth borought me too.

silmarillion is great, and gave a new perspective to the lord of the rings as somethings went more clear then before.

Since i finished Match Me If You Can (great book! thumbs up!) i picked up a new one, this time here in frankfurt at hugendubel zeil which has a large selections of book in english.

I started the Silmarillion, always wanted to since i had read the hobbit and the lord of the rings along time ago. so i thought hmmm what to read next.. crime.. nope... romance .... i need a break ... so i came to scifi, most books where perry rhodan (90% or smth) and i feared if i start with him i have to read more, like roman does.

yet hugendubel had a the lord of the rings selection and the silmarillion along with it. so i picked it.

On page 30 sofar, guess this one wont last long ^_^

Been with Julia to mainz and did a small shoping tour and photo safari (will upload 'em tomorrow). She bought a mila (or smth) large bowl, and food stuff at alnatura. that special kind of bowl she had searched for her lil' sis' birthday did played hide and seek. she already had a look at some shopping malls around frankfurt with the same result. no bowl of that kind anywere. i mocked her by suggesting to borrow someones child and take it to one of these paint bowls yourself stores ^,^

afterwards i've met with kevin and we've been watching 'the thing from space' yeah! retro splatter from the 80ies, and 'the island' yeah! society critical and car chase / explosion, great great movie.

uh and i bought a new paperback. 'match me if you can' by susan e. phillips which is out on avon books. this is my second book by her and the first one was good to read, though i guess i'm not her core audiance ^o^.

i already read on to page 18 or something during commute. and it starts off nicely. search for her site or visit your local bookstore of trust, excerpts from chapter one are on her website under sneak peek.

Finished reading Herzsprung by Ildikó von Kürthy.

Nice book ^^

Finished reading the Last Juror and picked up another Grisham.

Bought The Last Juror by John Grisham.

And quoting imouto "Everyone should have at least one book by Grisham. I like Grisham."

Well won't have much time to read but if I get sick of learning math I might read now rather then playing sims2.

already done reading it sometime this week ...um tuesday? dunno. well nice book. ^^ mhh what do i read next?

anyone ??

Ronan ordered something via http://amazon.de/ and needed 2 more euros for free shiping so I added another Murakami Haruki book to his shiping. It's called "Wie ich eines schoenen Morgens im April das 100%ige Maedschen sah". I hope that I find time to read it. I like his books.

Got "Naokos Laecheln" from Bizzy, which is aswell by Murakami.
