What are you reading?

Yeah, SW novels are great! I just finisher Zahn's trilogy. It is fabulous!

 

Timothy Zahn is one of the best SW writers in my opinion. He did a lot for the whole SW Universe. The name Coruscant was his idea, even.

 

Yeah, he made most of the SW Universe, when you think about it.

 

It might sounds funny but now I am reading Shakespear's "Romeo and Juliet",what a coincedense I am in love and I am reading it.
Yeah Zahn is one of the best SW writers!!!

 

Oh, happy dagger!

lol.

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

 

You know it by heart???

 

Most of it.

I'm an English Lit student, what do you expect!

 

What is your favourite Shakespeare's story?

EDIT: stupid faces!!!

 

Please, I'm Scottish.

MacBeth/The Scottish Play (For the Superstitious Ones)

 

Well, we are all safe until we see wakling woods.

 

yep.

Perfectly safe.

I don't mind Henry IV either, even though he's an English bastard

 

Zahn... nothing special, chenge names and it would be any other Universe
To be true, for me Zahn is at the same place as Anderson

BTW. I'm planning to read first two books of Anderson's 'Saga of Seven Suns', meybe more, if there are bookstores in England

 

Shakespeare is a great writer. From all the comedies he wrote, my favourite one is "Midsummer's night dream" and from tragedies "Othello".

I have also read books written by Zahn. I think it is becouse thease books are one of the rare Star Wars things translated in Croatian.

 

So true,so true!

 

I didin't know this guy invented Coruscant. Impressive.

I read a few Shakespeare's works. I did not enjoy them, though, I was forced to read it.

*mutters under breath*
stupid high school...

 

I was forced too,but when I started reading it I enjoyed.

 

I dodn't like the 'old' language.

 

Part of the shakesperian beauty is in the ancient forms of language.

 

Yeah... he did, but also he messed it all up Lucas had other plans for the name of Capital of the Galaxy
Besides, Zahn doesn't like anything more than messing up some things


Old Language is very good, I think
Especially with Lord of the Rings I've read it in Skibniwska's translation and just because it's in a little old polsih for today, it's better for me, than other translations.
besides in English LotR is also great

 

I love this 'old language'. Shakesperian English is very cool. I actually liked his dramas. I think Hamlet is my favourite, but the Three Witches from Macbeth pwn!
I also like old Croatian. I belive that Malak and Darthana will agree with me when I say that Ivana Brlic-Mazuranic pwns, and so do all of her books!

 

Be one with thee
for sacred flesh
hath rend its way
'pon jagged wretch



Sorry, couldn't resist showing off.

 

I love 'old language'.

 

Well, technically that's Early Modern English, not even Middle or Old, but oh well

 

Forgive us, then. We are slavic people after all.
