Been a while since it happened, but I've been crying my eyes out in laughter with my current book. Yeah, I'm probably over-reacting there, but his books keep on doing that to me. I've been an absolute John Irving groupie ever since The World of Garp. Even if I'm probably only enjoying the play from the balcony ( after trying out some originals I know his kind of language subtleties passes by at my knowledge of the English language so I'm happily relying on the quality translation work of the local publisher)

Quite different (and only dutch) there is a new book from Pieter Gaudesaboos to add to your childrens' bookshelf. It's again a prize-winner: "Stad van Pieter Gaudesaboos winnaar van boekenpluim 2006" (jury-report in dutch)

Ok, so we (me and she) got through the seven fat and the seven lean years now. We know we're going out this evening, but does anyone know what's to follow next? # Posted by mpo at 08:02 AM | Comments (3) | TrackBack (0)

my news?
Belgian news publisher's upset by Google News not paying royalties. We've seen this kind of web versus paper battle here before and the web didn't win the first time over.

• But, are you playing with that now?
• No.
• Can he/she then play with that?
• No.
• Why so?
• It's mine.

Boy, if it's really your news, then just keep it.
