The boy in the stripped pyjamas
Lo acabo de leer en inglés y ¡conseguí entenderlo!. El final es emocionante, mas bien te deja hecho polvo. ¿Teneis una recomendación para el próximo?

Estaba pensando en 'A voyage to the South Pole and around the World' de James Cook pero dudo si esta vez podre entender nada. Si alguien ha leido alguno de viajes/descubrimientos escuchare su recomendación gustosamente :)

I'd like to write this in english but I find it too difficult! :( I think I can read better than write...

Bye

Re:Re:Re:Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Yes, I guess there are better looking actors...and maybe with special effects they could "reach" Edward xD

I'd like to talk more about the Twilight Series and such, but I don't know how we can communicate, I think we can't put our e-mails here, and I'm not a gold member so...what do you think?

Anyway, do you prefer trading e-mails or chat through msn?

French conversation
Hello, I look for someone with whom I could practice French and as you, probably, I am also very keen on books. French literature, as far as I am concerned is one of the best: Sartre, Hugo, Maupassant. I would like reading those authors in French. I have started learning the language a year ago. Thus if everybody is willing for a chat in French I would be very happy. Merci bien.

Poetry
Kaldýrýmlar

Sokaktayým, kimsesiz bir sokak ortasýnda,
Yürüyorum, arkama bakmadan yürüyorum.
Yolumun karanlýða karýþan noktasýnda
Sanki beni bekleyen bir hayal görüyorum.

Kara gökler kül rengi bulutlarla kapanýk,
Evlerin bacasýný kolluyor yýldýrýmlar.
Bu gece yarýsýnda iki kiþi uyanýk:
Biri benim, biri de uzayan kaldýrýmlar.

Ýçimde damla damla bir korku birikiyor,
Sanýyorum her sokak baþýný kesmiþ devler.
Simsiyah camlarýný üzerime dikiyor
Gözleri çýkarýlmýþ bir ama gibi evler.

Kaldýrýmlar, ýstýrap çekenlerin annesi,
Kaldýrýmlar, içimde yaþamýþ bir insandýr.
Kaldýrýmlar, duyulur ses kesilince sesi,
Kaldýrýmlar, içimde uzayan bir lisandýr.

Bana düþmez can vermek bir kucakta,
Ben bu kaldýrýmlarýn istediði çocuðum.
Aman, sabah olmasýn bu karanlýk sokakta,
Bu karanlýk sokakta bitmesin yolculuðum.

Ben gideyim yol gitsin, ben gideyim yol gitsin,
Ýki yanýmdan aksýn bir sel gibi fenerler.
Tak... tak... ayak sesimi aç köpekler iþitsin.
Yolumun taký olsun zulmetten taþ kemerler.

Ne ýþýkta gezeyim, ne göze görüneyim,
Gündüzler size kalsýn, verin karanlýklarý.
Islak bir yorgan gibi iyice bürüneyim,
Örtün, üstüme örtün, serin karanlýklarý.

Uzanýverse gövdem taþlara boydan boya,
Alsa bu soðuk taþlar alnýmdaki ateþi.
Dalýp sokaklar kadar esrarlý bir uykuya
Ölse kaldýrýmlarýn kara sevdalý eþi.

Sidewalks

I'm in the street, in a street all lonely
Walking, walking and never looking back
At the point my path is mingled with the black
I seem to see a phantom wait for me

Ashen clouds overcast the darkling sky
Lightening bolts seek the chimneys of homes
In this midnight only two who sleepless roam
I here am one and there the sidewalks lie

Drop by drop a terror collects in me
At the head of every street the demons wait
The houses fix their gaze, dark black and great,
On me, like blindmen with their eyes ripped free

The sidewalks, mother to the suffering
Sidewalks, the person who has lived in me
Sidewalks, sound heard when all sounds cease to be
Sidewalks, a language within me lingering

I'll not give up life in a soft embrace
I am the child nursed at this sidewalk's breast
Please let no morning on this dark street rest
On this dark street let me ever run my race

Let me go on and the road, let us not stay
Let the lamps flow past me like a flood
Let hungry dogs hear the click-clack of my tread
Let there be an arch, vaulted in gloom, on my way

Let the daytimes be yours, give me darknesses
Let me not walk in light nor to eyes appear
As in a damp quilt let me wrap myself here
Cover me, cover me in their cool darknesses

If my body, full-length on these stones could lie
If these cold stones would draw the fever from my brow
Like these streets plunging into uncanny drowse
If only the sidewalks' melancholy mate would die

Re:Re:Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Hi Sara!!
I'm reading Eclipse now. I agree to you, that the vampires' beauty can be just imagination, but Edward in the movie actually is really not good looking and there could be better looking actors indeed. what do you think?
I would be happy about coresponding to you, I read we are interested in similar thinks actually. Maybe we could help each other in someway and keep on talking about the Twilight Series and movie?
