I'm sorry :DCypress wrote: Instead of making fun you mean girl , why don't you explain why it's wrong to say it that way?
Well, maybe I'm wrong, but your post just reminded me of one specific day in my first college year... A professor told us that desire and wish had completely different meanings in English... You know... like desire implied sexual connotations. When you said you had a strong desire to hug it I just couldn't help it... sorry again :D
Please somebody correct me if I am wrong!!!

You're lucky. You've seen the film.Tora wrote:Do you mind my participation?Cypress wrote:Have you seen the Master and Margaret TV series? I think it’s awesome. It is exactly as I imagined it when I read the book.Ksju wrote:Master and Margaret!
(Bulgakov).
One of the best books in the world literature to my mind!
I have seen: from one hand i was happy finally to be able to watch, not only to read, on the other hand the movie looked cheap, like the Satana's ball and Margarita's flight abobe Moscow and so on. It could be better i suppose, but i liked the main characters and i guess the cat was terrific! the exact cat! also Master is boring, Voland unattractive (i was about to fall in love while reading... )
Anyhow i've bought dvds...
I want to watch it too as it's one of my favourite books. And, yes, I think it's almost impossible to act this book. Extremely difficult!
So that's why maybe we shouldn't be too stern?!
No, you're right! We should be very stern!!! 8)

I started reading Memoirs of a Geisha just last night! It's pretty interesting so far. I haven't seen the movie, though. I always prefer to read the book first.

Re: What is your favourite book?
They are two books:
Harry Potter and the deathly hallows
The Alchamist
those were the kind of books that gives you a pleasant feelings when you remember the time you read them. Well, at least for me .
They are the best for me ( maybe because of the twists sometimes in the plot)
Also, there is something about these two: It made me have like " aha, so that what the author meant , that was smart" kinda thinking. I like it when an author provokes the reader towards anticipating and thinking and having a positive role.

I like science fiction before but now my favourite has shifted to inspirational books. Books for self-improvement.

I enjoy reading short stories. My favorite author of these is Saki (H.H. Munro). They are masterpieces of dry humor.
