Mood: lazy... sleepy
If I have to think about how I learned English as a child, it easily goes back to the Rosemeade Elementary School's Library in Dallas. I remember the Librarians freaking out as they watched a 10 year carry a pile of books taller than herself out the door.
I love reading.
I love romance, adventure, animal stories, manga, manhwa, comics, history. I adore fantasy. And I like non-fiction.
I will read J.K. Rowling, and Ursula Leguine, Tolkien and Kenneth Opel. Al Gore and Barack Obama. Douglas Adams is a literary genius, and Margaret Atwood? Tell me you didn't like Oryx and Crake. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseine broke my heart. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants made me fall of the chair in laughter. Kathy Reichs' unbelievably concocted forensic investigations have me not sleeping at night, but that is NOTHING compared to what James Patterson writes. Or see that even though the story was a brilliant idea, Stephanie Meyer can't write for her life.
Basically, I am the closest possible representation of Hermione Jane Granger. A muggle version of course.
The basic reason why I've just had a conversation inside my head as to what my favourite book is, and why I'm in total bookworm mode- is that I've picked up some books in German. Now don't freak yet, it´s only The Philospher's Stone (or... Der Stein der Weise) and Kathy Reichs' Knochen zu Asche (Bones to Ashes)... but it's fun, and I am definitely learning. It can be rather hysteric for example, when Hagrid is speaking in German- I can't help but imagine him with a swiss german dialect because of his west country accent! Or Draco with a Berlin accent, simply because its such a clear accent, and I would expect that arrogant Pure-Blood freak to speak with strong t's and what not.
Albus Dumbledore would have a Bremen accent. I really hope to God that my german teacher doesn't read that part... though he has only seen the first movie, I might have nothing to worry about. Nevertheless, keeping my fingers crossed:)
I really need to watch the movies in German.
So any ways, Verwandlungen- Tranfiguration. I love it.
Enough said.
