DEATHSTARS OFFICIAL FORUM

Just took that out from the library the other day! Haven't started it yet.

I finished The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. I suggest it to everyone... makes AIDS/HIV and H1N1 sound like sniffles. However, the book is really scary especially because it is nonfiction!

at the moment I'm re-reading Lord Of The Rings, for the first time Iin English. I'm few chapters before finishing The Two Towers.

Just finished (for the second time) Menn som hater kvinner i.e Men who hate women/The girl with the dragon tattoo Its awesome

I'm re-reading the Twilight series.
then I'm gonna read the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series.

I'm re-reading the Harry Potter series (in the middle of the third one right now), and I just bought Tales of Beedle the Bard which I plan on reading after I'm finished with the others.

I´d like to read "tales of beedle the bard", too! When you´ve finished it, please tell me if you liked it?!

I finished this book with short stories of different autors. Some of the stories I've read a while ago, and those I've read recently are:

H.P. Lovecraft's "Beyond the wall of sleep" - wasn't much impressed by it tbh, but I can't say it was bad.

Nikolai Gogol's "Wij" - the idea was cool, but the novel was kinda boring, it took me a while to read it, cause I always fell asleep during reading it Btw, does anyone know what happened to the movie based on the story? I saw a trailer once, and it looked pretty interesting, but then I heard no further news about it

Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Beetle Hunter" - was really nicely written.

Aleksy Tolstoj's "Upyr" (the vampire) - it was really cool, nice atmosphere, very nicely written, I like it.

I'm reading some more Finnish poetry, this time by Otto Grundström, the former frontman of the band Tehosekoitin. This collection of poems is called Tähtiotsa. It's been very interesting to read so far. Evokes questions, I'd so love to have a little chat with that man.

I'd love to! Though it might be a while, I still have the rest of book 3 and books 4-7 to finish before I get to it.

I will finish after few pages E.M. Remarques book " All Quiet on the Western Front". It`s good, even in some places too naturalistic and cruel. And some places really moved something inside me, eg, when one of the heroes is dieing in the lazarette, his friends are telling him that everything will be ok, he will be sent to home etc, even if they know that it is not true and this dieing one says something like that: "Who are you trying to fool anyway, in the best case i have to live two or three hours, i know it."
And it really made me think, because all main heroes were little boys, 17, to, maybe 19 years old, sent to the war from last grades of theyr school. And when i look at some people in the same age, i can not imagine them fighting with war weapons etc.

I can wait!!! I have many books to read, too!!!

I've reread "the master and Margaret" by Bulgakov. Liked it SO much!!!

To birthdaycake: are you about new russian movie on Wij? It will be shown soon (or it has already been shown?) in ruissian cinemas.

^Yeah, that's exactly the movie I'm talking about. I saw a trailer, and it looked very promissing, but it was so long ago... And after Nochnoi Dozor (or however you spell that one, Night watch i mean ) I'm of mind Russian people can do damn good fantasy movies

After seeing the movie, I've been reading 'Let the Right one in' by John Ajvide Lindquist. An awesome twist on the vampire legend.

^I've read that book too!But my mum forbid me to see the movie
