Good, I’m glad you know her form somewhere. (Well, if you didn’t… who can keep track of everyone and everything that ever have existed. There are so many names from the history of popular culture. I have an internet friend who used to work in Hollywood a long time ago and she mentioned all these names of people she met and admired; apparently there were quite a lot of Swedish actresses there but of all of the names she mentioned I only recognized Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman [but she didn’t meet those two] and she talked of all of them as if it was common knowledge, ha ha. And most of the American old stars she mentioned were also just names to me, with some exceptions!)

Ha ha, yes, maybe it’s best to go to a bookstore, you wouldn’t want to accidentally order a Finnish translation or something! ;) So what do you like to read? Haruki Murakami is a Japanese author who writes sort of “magical realism”; very strange things can happen but it’s written in a way that makes it believable. (I’ve only read two of his books, “Kafka on the shore” and “Sputnik Sweetheart”, these and many others are translated to English.)

Hm, did you look up those titles on imdb or something before you put them on your Netfix list? Because I can’t guarantee you’ll find them any good, it was many years ago since I watched “När alla vet”… I did like “Tillsammans”, though. (The director has also made “Fucking Åmål” [International title “Show Me Love”, 1998], about a lonely girl in a small town who falls in love with another girl who is bored with life and is the most popular girl at the school… It became a huge success when it came out.)

I have a friend who is very much into anime and Japan and I’ve often thought I should try something but… Now I’ve put “GetBackers” on my list to start with! I know about those movies you mention except "Heathers", but I’ve only seen “Silence of the Lambs”.

“Even though it’s JAZZ”, haha, okay… I like jazz, well, some of it sometimes; not to the point of actually knowing anything about it or having a defined taste… ;)

And I’m glad you slept, I think it’s good for you to do that sometimes. ;)

*giggles* I like the kind of attitude your friend showed, that everyone knew the actors/actresses because they were important to her. I think that is so important; To have a true connection with the people you enjoy, like having met a famous actress. ^^

I like all sorts of novels, really. I'm not very picky as long as the story doesn't inherently look down on its audience; Most stories I've ever read that center around school life do that, which is a true shame. I prefer to read fantasy and especially fictional stories. Non-fiction has a tendency to either be too factual (rendering it more like a text book than a novel) or it becomes easily dated, with its concept and value systems no longer applicable to the present day.
I liked Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde: I disliked Charles Dickens. For some reason most stories with princesses have something that irk me, but I can usually enjoy the story as a whole.
What about you? :D

Hmm, nope, I've never heard of those titles either. I am very picky with the stories I read in/from Japanese, because I'm not fluent yet and I hate poor translations. My favorite is Kyo Ka Sui Getsu, and it was actually co-authored and illustrated by Minekura Kazuya, the artist for Saiyuki (*points at my movie collection*).

The story of Kyo Ka Sui Getsu - Mirror Flower Water Moon - is a brilliant tale about... well... loss. The title comes from a concept of necessary fragility: The mirror's image is not reality, the flower's beauty does not last, the water cannot soothe the soul, and the moon will always be out of reach - and yet each are perfect as they are. The main characters follow the same pattern. They are broken men with so much pain in their souls that they will *NEVER* recover from it...and yet, in each other they find a reason to continue their loveless journey. They fight for their right to live, even after they've long since given up on ever being worthy of their lives.
I never was able to find the whole book available in America D: but Kyo Ka Sui Getsu is kind of a prologue to the Saiyuki stories, so the Saiyuki manga ties in a LOT of the back story. <3 It's so amazing.

The character most defined by the Kyo Ka Sui Getsu concept is Hakkai, and he is easily my favorite character of all time in any story. I've been told by many people that Hakkai and I have many parallels in our lifestyles, choices, and personalities - I'm not sure if I should take it as an insult or not, but I love Hakkai too much to care. He's broken and beautiful. <3

Teehee, yes, I looked up the stories before I added them to my queue. ^^ Both sound very interesting, and I'm looking forward to watching them. Fucking Amal seems less my style, but I'll look at it once I've seen these two! ^^

*squees!!!!* I think you'll love GetBackers!! There's slash and - I believe - femslash, too. <.< It might be me reading in too deeply...but 95% of the characters are gay, bi, or questioning in my world!
Plus, there's a ton of really hot guys and one overly gratuitous lady. And I love them all! <3

Ahem. So. You might've noticed by now that I'm a *little* bit in love with GetBackers and Saiyuki.... Teehee~ <3

I slept 8 hours today! :D You weren't online this morning so I pouted a lot but I managed to start two more fics for you, though they're no where near presentable yet. ^^ Hopefully (but unlikely) I'll have one done by the time you read this!

Taste in books, like so many other things, change over time I guess. When you mention princesses I’m reminded of the historical romance novels (often royalty in them) I liked to read when I was in my mid teens… ;) I also read fantasy novels back then, but nowadays I only read the fantasy written by one of my friends. I read quite a lot because I review novels for the local newspaper but other than that I’m ashamed to say that I read a lot more when I was younger! (Not that reading fanfic is not reading…..) Ten years ago I read almost anything from poetry to Jane Austen to crime fiction to anything that I could find with a gay character (well, but I swallowed those few handfuls of books pretty quickly). Some of my favorite writers are Virginia Woolf, Joyce Carol Oates, Nina Bouraoui (French), Selma Lagerlöf (Swedish)… Some of my favorite books of all times are “Jane Eyre”, “Possession” (A.S. Byatt), “To the Lighthouse” (Woolf), “Bellefleur” (Oates), the collected poems by Karin Boye and Edith Södergran (Swedish…) well, there are so many books I’ve loved deeply…

At the moment I’m reviewing “In the Kitchen” by Monika Ali, it’s a good one! Sometimes I get very nice surprises when I get books to review but mostly I get not so great ones by local writers who have published the books at their own expense; sometimes it’s painfully obvious that no editor has been anywhere near the manuscript before it got printed…

When I was a child I had a ghost story phase, and I loved time travel stories and fantasy of the kind where people travelled from this world to another, but I also adored old-fashioned girl stories like the series by Laura Ingalls Wilder and L.M. Montgomery and the likes… I guess that kind of books is what turned me into a hopeless romantic… ;) I was less interested in modern stories about “real life” of young people here and now… (Oh, I shouldn’t be thinking about books I used to read long ago, I could spend hours remembering my old favorites… I more or less lived at the library between the age of eleven to fifteen…)
