I'm reading "The battles' painter"("El pintor de batallas") by Arturo Pérez-Reverte.
Maybe you don't know him but he's a best-selling here and there's a film with Johnny Depp based on one of his novels: The Ninth Gate.

There was a movie? When was it and who were the main actors?

Smilla is such a wonderfuly complex and unexpected character. Geez, who knew that there was so much to know about snow and ice. Plus the history of the historical relationship between the Danes and the Greenlanders was an eye opener for sure.

i hope we mean the same. the movie is with julia ormond as smilla. the movie is a thriller and it started that a boy is found dead after falling from a roof. the title catched my interest so i watched the movie. i like smilla because she is a strong women. i didn't know that the movie is based on a book. shame on me.

I've only seen a few of them but just love Steven Fry. He was great hosting the BAFTA Awards. Wodehouse is a clever writer, IMO.

The forensic science of CSI by Katherine Ramsland.

 

[zippy]

Nope inge Deception Point is not his new book. He wrote it b4 Da Vinci Code. I think b4 Angels & Demons even. And it's not about Robert Langdon but I read a few pages and it seems to be good. I'm becoming a fan of Dan Brown's books. Already read DVC and A&D. Both are really good!!!

 

[inge]

oops, you're right. i already read the book. the german versions have other titels than the original books.
i love dan brown.
