Thank you so much for posting here on Free For All Friday Kathrin, Nikkiana, Erin, Lucy, Anuschka, Nicki, Rain, and Gema! ➡ I left comments on everyones entry! 😀
Happy sweating everyone! Apparently this weekend is going to be the hottest May weekend ever. It is already 30 degrees, I dont like that heat at all.
My parents are flying to Kos on Wednesday for two weeks. I am so jelous! I wish they would take my brother with them, I detest staying home with him.
I saw a remarkable young woman on tv yesterday. I used to regularly check the Austrian and German book bestseller lists, but when we cancelled our tv magazine, all lies in there, that was the end of that. Well anyway, that woman grew up in Papua Neuginea with cannibals. That clan is completly cut off from the modern world, and thats why they almost live like they did back then in stoneage. Her parents are missionary workers and linguists, and they do good work there, and really only that was the reason why the leader of that “clan” allowed them to live with them. Interesting. She lived there from 8 to 17, and after she returned she wrote a book about it. I cant wait to get my hands on that book. Alone how she looks at people and listens. Incredible.
My booklist is completly updated. When I started Weetzie Bat I really didnt think I would like it. But its brilliant, just read the quotes from the book and you will understand. Anyway. I started Alice Adventures In Wonderland And Through The Looking Glass yesterday. Did you know that Lewis Carrol is just another pseudonym? His real name was Charles Dodgson, and he loved art and photopgraphs. For quite a while he denied all connections to the Alice books. The little girl on which Alice is based, is quite charming too. There are a ton of books on her, and her connections to Lewis Carroll. Did anyone read her biography?
I am going to melt away now. 😛

Hey, das Buch von dem Mädchen, das bei den Kannibalen aufgewachsen ist, habe ich heute gerade in der Hand gehabt in der Buchhandlung – sie wird wohl wieder zurück gehen – und ich kann sie gut verstehen.

Sie meinte gestern sie wuerde supergern zurueck, aber wegen Ihren 4 Kindern geht das nicht mehr so leicht, vor allem wegen den 2 aelteren die Internet nicht missen moechten. Bei amazon.de kannst Du Dir einen Kurzbericht von Ihr runterladen. Die Frau muss man echt bewundern. Und Du hattest das Buch schon in Haenden, boah! 😛

Yes, I’ll join the “melted” club. It was around 27C here yesterday and thankfully cooler today. Wow, that woman sounds amazing, I wonder which “world” that woman prefers to live in. I never knew that Lewis Carrol was a pseudonym, but I love the story, especially the Cheshire cat!

Thanks Nicki for the word. I was wrecking my brain, and I knew synonym was wrong, but that heat… 😀 HuggleS! I am really fearing summer, when I have to work and it is so hot. I am going to drop dead. Did you buy something nice today? 😀

Oh no, I think your English was right! Ergh I am fearing doing exams and trying to revise in the heat, but work must be even worse. I got a denim jacket and a top for my birthday and brought a gel pen, lol!

Denim jacket sounds very nice! Good that you found something Nicki! 😀 Is your birthday this week already? *goes and checks*
I have all of my exams at the end of June. How pleasent that will be, to study that much in that heat. Yucky.

No, my birthday isn’t until June 8th. It’ll be horrible to revise in the heat. What exams are you taking? My exams finish on the 22nd June.

I love *Wonderland* & *Looking Glass* OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!!!!…though I’ve never read any books about the real Alice.
Must be interesting to go through life knowing a classic character was written for you!
Wow. That cannibal woman’s story sounds fascinating. Let us know when you read it.

Oh, soweit habe ich mich damit noch nicht befasst. Die hat schon Kinder?
Ich gehe mal zu Amazon gucken.
Nachdem ich gestern Stimmen der Angst von Dean Koontz beendet habe, habe ich heute mit Aufschrei von Truddi Chase begonnen.
Die restlichen Bücher sind zwecks baldigem Umzug heute Morgen in Kisten verpackt worden.

Truddi Chase habe ich mal bei Oprah gesehen. Und da soll wer sagen Multiplizitaet gibts nicht. O_o Stimmen aus Angst sagt mir gerade gar nichts, ich geh mal schauen. 😀 Die Dschungelfrau ist 72er Jahrgang. Ich glaub die im Dschungel haben die zum fruehen “werfen” animiert. *lol*

I haven’t read Weetzie Bat, but I have read other books by Francessca Lia Block. She’s a neat author, eh? Really original. 😛 And ditto what Lucy said about the cannibal lady – I’d love to hear more about her. 🙂

Ach ich dachte, die sei noch unter 20. Ich gestehe, dass ich nicht sooo genau hingesehen habe.
Das Buch ist faszinierend. Ich habe schon auf Websites von Multiplen ähnliches gelesen – so traurig die Krankheit ist, so interessant finde ich das alles.
Traurig bei Truddi finde ich, dass die sogenannte Erstgeborene seit sie 2-jährig ist “schläft” – wie es die anderen nennen.
