Hi

I was always thought it was just me who hated the end of QL just because I didn't want it to end!! But it has to be said that the end was the worst way ever to end a show, it just left you hanging!!! I need closure

Thanks for the offer Becky!! I might take you up on that sometime! I only have the Leap home and the Kennedy one. I wish they'd repeat that on the BBC... they repeat so much other cr*p!!!

Anyway, sorry for being off topic!! Maybe a QL thread should be started for all the die hard fans!!

Tash

My fave writer is Dostoievsky. It seems to me that very few of you have read him. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT or THE KARAMAZOV BROTHERS are absoultely brilliant. The best 2 books I have ever read.

I don't know if you heard about a Romanian writer: MIRCEA ELIADE.
His novells are amazing. I never read a bad book by him. As far as i know,he was translated in most of the languages . You should try him.


Other writers/poets I love:
KAFKA,RAINER MARIA RILKE, CAMUS,HERMAN HESSE, THOMAS MANN ,

I like Dostoyevski too
And Rainer Maria Rilke His poems are so romantic...
Kafka is great, too. But his story are weird sometimes...abstract always about persons who change...i didn't like "die verwandlung". "Der Prozess" was better

my essay at the moment is on REALISM - so that's people like Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Bunin, Tolstory, Turgenev

I never felt Rilke as being Romantic. I read DAS STUNDENBUCH and the poems there did really make you think about Life and God and stuff. I think i did also have a signature some time ago that said: WAS WIRST DU TUN GOTT WENN ICH STERBE translated: What will you do,God,when I die?

I did also read his novell " MATTE LAURIDS BRIGGE AUZEICHNUNGEN" .
Auch ein SuperBuch.


I forgot to mention the GREATEST ROMANIAN POET . His name is Eminescu. His poems are so deep. There are some I read more than 100 times. TO MY CRITICS is a 'cool' one because he just says how much critics suck. I think it'd destroy his genoiuse if they were translated becasue he is one of the best 10 poets who ever lived in this world but you should learn to speak Romanian just for reading EMINESCU and I'm not kidding. I am being absolutely seriouse.

i noticed this when i tried to read Tolstoii - it doesn't work when translated into english as it should do... you need to know the language

Thank God I speak German because some of the best poets are Germans. Too bad I don't know a Russian word so I will probably nevere read Russian poems.
